Was it one of the best movies of all time?
no it was one of the west movies of all time lmao

MWAHHHHHHHHH
No, it's a western for babies.
Morricone is a big reason for why the film is so good.
>>70339040
>>70339017
Yes.
>>70339017
No it IS the best movie of all time.
>Hey! Hey everybody look! He's giving him the filthy money! JUDAS! You sold my HIDE!
>>70339040
Heh
>>70339071
>western
lol plebs...
>>70339080
Morricone did like a thousand more pictures and nothing get close to his work with leone
>>70339071
Babies are cute!
Babies did nothing wrong.

I feel like he's considered a great composer pretty much exclusively for his leone stuff. Beyond that he's totally oversaturated. Not comparing anyone's talent but it's sort of like how hans zimmer "scores" a bajillion movies but people only know about him for like 4 nolan movies.
>>70340997
No, I like some of his other works, like The Mercenary, Cinema Paradiso, The Mission...
But none of those movies get close to what Leone achieved with the Dollar Trilogy and both Once Upon a Time. So saying that TGTBTU is only good because of the music is not fair.

I am not that other guy, I was just saying that he was super over exposed for a while
Can we just have a comfy Western Thread
From the ~1000 films I've seen there is a clear trio that rises above the rest in the terms of greatness:
>It's A Wonderful Life
>Die Hard
>The Shining
These have next the perfect cinimetography/audiography, engaging and thoughtprovoking storylines with fascinating yet "human" characters, superbly impressive acting, and striking originality. In these three films the ambitious aim of the director/producer actually reaches the upper level.
>>70340945
Sounds like we have one who hasn't seen the battle of algiers...
It is trash like any Leone film. How can people like such stale directing like Leone, I will never understand. Same with early Michael Mann for example, both look like a damn TV-show
Personally wouldn't says so, but it does have the best score of all time, and the most effective cooperation between music and editing I've ever personally seen.

>that directing
>that great pacing
Yes. I think it's one of the greatest movies ever made and it's my all time favorite movie.
>>70341716
Wonderful film, but nothing like Leone's best
>>70341737
>trashing early Michael Mann
>trashing Thief
>>70342573
Only good for their shallow cinematography.
later Mann is better but still a shit director.
>>70342655
thief has some of the best characters and acting i have ever fucking seen in my whole life. you're the worst.
>>70342814
Mann can't establish a relationship worth shit. Every film, terribly granted relationships, feels like autism work.
and Thief is just that, empty pretty cinematography with fuck all to do with anything.
>>70339017
Amazing musical score, but the best western featuring Eastwood was The Outlaw Josie Wales.

they were bros. knew each other since school.
>>70340997
>Hans Zimmer
>Known for Nolan films
This film is the only reason he even has a work as a composer
>>70339017
Probably.
>>70339080
That and the excellent editing, direction, creative camera angles and writing
>>70341679
Is this supposed to be ironic? You seriously need to get better taste.
>>70343407
Horseshit.
>>70342532
Leone is somewhat of an hack....
>>70345030
No way man!
Coinpair handfull dollars to Yo Jimbo and dont tell me you consider the dull yellow thingy good? Leone has at least some cool stuff in it, tits, shootouts, classy humor and eastwood nails it.
>>70345029
>why am I supposed to hate this captain again?
>"THE BEST RACE HORSES ARE WHITE"
>oh, he's a racist...
>>70346958
Leone films have 0 tit presence
>>70339017
I'm working at an internship in the Utah desert all summer, and I need relevant movies to pass the time... What do you guys suggest for essential Westerncore?
>>70347255
Oh, >inb4 The Work and the Glory and other gay Mormon shit
>>70347185
Leone is kinda famously for his seminude titsshots, where he shews just so much breasts that were allowed at that time and age, and its the precised perfect amount of boobage making dick diamonds.
Coinpair leones actresses to kurozawaz yellow ones. Akira shews no skin at all, no glimpse, no brah, no armpits, nothing! Leone shews cleveages, a lot of them, underboobs, women badednaking, women in nothing else than topless, its imaging you know, cock hardens, blood flowing down and up. Leone the master. Tits and shooting. Its sex! Tits is basically womens vagina, guns mens penisis, shots fired is fuckage on screen. Leone is porn, and porn is good.
