Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo (1966)
The single greatest movie ever made.
I don't know what happened on imdb, but when I joined, this was the #3 ranked movie of all-time. Which is too low. It was only behind Godfather 1 & 2, and this makes them seem like a soap opera compared to a Best Picture Oscar nominee. Speaking of which, this is the best movie ever made to have never recieved a single oscar nomination. Nowadays, Clint Eastwood would've gotten Best Actor. Eli Wallach would've gotten Best Supporting Actor. Lee Van Cleef would've gotten a Best Supporting Actor nomination. Sergio Leone, Best Director. Screenplay, cinematography, musical score, the list goes on. It's not only the definitive western, but it has several other elements and plot lines. It's also a drama, a suspense film, a war film, an action flick, and a treasure hunt movie. With no details, it also has the greatest ending to a film ever put on screen. But everything about this movie is what makes it an all-time classic. Especially the reason it could never be successfully remade. The acting, screenwriting, directing, camera work, and brilliant musical score by Ennio Morricone are what make it unique to the point it can never be duplicated or improved. It isn't my favorite movie, but I tell everyone and anyone that this is the best movie ever made. I only believe that because everything in the movie holds its own and backs it up, and I hope anyone who watches it believes the same.
