Or he just loves despite of the shortcomings he sees. I have the same thing with āHeavenās gateā
[quote=āLindberg, post:157, topic:307ā]Why doesnāt he like DYS ?
That movie often has a sombre and bittersweet mood, enhanced by Morriconeās beautiful score[/quote]
Maybe this will leave you wanting an answer and make you buy the bookā¦
Hmmm, yes, after reading Coxā article he seems really to sound pretty negative about GBU. But if we have a quick glimpse at his top 20 he gave to Phil just a few weeks ago, then we see surprisingly GBU at #3. And the genius film The Great Silence only on #5.
Maybe he forgot to tell us about the merits of GBU while being busy to ramble about some minor flaws?
Itās btw rather interesting that he wants to praise the underrated Corbucci in his book, but prefers 3 Leone SWs over TGS and Django. Next to being very negative about most of Corbucciās other westerns.
No Iām in no hurry to buy this book actually :o
Or; Eastwood droped out of a film Cox was making between writing up his Top Twenty and writing the chapter on āThe Good, the Bad and the Uglyāā¦
I am not sure if this is the correct forum for this butā¦
Here is a mashup I made using Ennio Morricones GBU and Ruined In A Day by New Order

I call it The Good The Bad And The Ruined.
Fun
Cool samples of dialogue
Is this true?
In 2002, the film was restored with the 18 minutes of scenes cut for U.S. release edited back into the film. Clint Eastwood and Eli Wallach were brought back in to dub their charactersā lines more than 35 years after the filmās original release.
Are all the DVDs out with the new audio or what? Im confused.
The new scenes (added back into the film) have the new dubbing by Wallach and Eastwood while the rest of the film is in the normal, 1966 recording. Also, theyāve added more modern sounding gunshots and such to fix problems with the sound. There is a name for it but Iām not sure. At first I thought they were trying to make the gunshots sound less fake or cheasy.
Vandalism is the word youāre looking for.

Database comment (in hymnic mode):
Ironic, parodic super-western, the culmination of the Dollar trilogy and at the same time pointing in a new direction. In The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, Leone enhanced and perfected all the narrative and visual ideas of the two predecessors, while his still anti-epic style is now set against a quasi epic background, and allows both levels not to confront but to comment each other. Eastwoodās charismatic coolness is here pitted against the method acted flow of endlessly brilliant dialogue by Wallach, while Van Cleef, just like Wallach in the role of his life, impresses as the ultimate baddie. Morriconeās excellent soundtrack, Leoneās directing and the film itself reach their apex in the closing triello, one of the most emblematic western scenes ever. One of the best westerns, one of the best films, a true masterpiece.
Short & sweet!
āHeavenās gateā has to be one of the most underrated films I have ever seen -it is absolutely magnificent. I have actually recently finished reading āFinal Cutā which is all about the debacle behind the film.
Excellent mini-review Stanton. Now what would be interresting would be a negitive review of The Good, the Bad & the Ugly on its SWDB page as a sort of alternate take on it.
Weāll see - Iām about the only person on this page that doesnāt absolutely love it so I guess that will automatically be my job ;).
I am with you Silence 
, but you can still do it lol.

Canāt understand, it got one scene which is maybe the best scene ever filmed, The Good the Bad and The Ugly itās not just a simply SW itās much more
Add me to the list too. Itās my least favourite of the 3 and i tend to think it goes on too long. Not much of a reviewer though, soā¦
