One of the greatest movies of all time. Hilarious, thrilling, poignant, and suspenseful. This film is so iconic and such a part of The Canon that it is easy to forget how wildly entertaining it is.
All three leads are incredible here: steely eyed Clint as the platonic ideal of the Western hero, wily Van Cleef as the villain with eyes like a cat, and Eli Wallace as the bumbling fool, both loveable and despicable. Not to mention the gorgeous cinematography, unbelievable editing, and the greatest composer of all time creating his most famous score. Masterpiece.
