    Even though the craziest twist of this film was that Charles Bronson played a hispanic, Leone did do something even crazier. He gave the masterpiece, all time classic, and his best film, “The Good, The Bad, The Ugly,” a run for its money.

The long lenses Leone used along with the magnificent shots taken, made this film unforgettable in my eyes. Definitely one of the greats.
