The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

1966 · TMDB 8.5 · Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo

Directed by Sergio Leone

While the Civil War rages on between the Union and the Confederacy, three men – a quiet loner, a ruthless hitman, and a Mexican bandit – comb the American Southwest in search of a strongbox containing $200,000 in stolen gold.

Why it matters

Leone's Civil War epic is a sprawling, operatic western that turns the Man with No Name trilogy into a grand meditation on greed and violence.
