It just seems like everytime we talk about Spaghetti Westerns, the only person we talk about is Leone.

sort of like how when people talk about the Apostle's its usually Peter and Paul.

I too would consider TGTBaTU to be Leone's best. I love OUaTitW (especially the "2 too many" line) but GBU has three iconic characters and a much better story arch in my opinion.

I've heard people argue that the film meanders along and follows random tangents but i disagree. In a way i think of it as the Apocalypse Now of Westerns. You have this chaotic time period in American history and that chaos is reflected in the story's progression. TGTBaTU isn't just a Western it IS the Old West.

Not to mention one of the greatest finales of all time.

I like BOTH, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly AND Once Upon a Time in the West. Which one I like best probably depends on which one I saw last. That said, for me, both these movies were miles ahead of A Fistful of Dollars AND For a Few Dollars More.
 
One of my favorite things about a Few Dollars more was the villain.

Indio was fantastic and i loved the implementation of the lullaby locket. Made for some very tense showdowns.
 
I love Leone's films but my favorite spaghetti western is Sergio Corbucci's The Great Silence.

It blows them all out of the water.

Also, Who here has seen Cutthroats Nine???
 
Check out the dubbing on the old DVD for TGTBATU($5), it is really bad and in its original state. I recently saw it on TV and noticed how bad it was also. The updated DVD actually had parts redubbed by Eastwood and was reworked, much better overall.

Mos def.

What makes me laugh however is the notoriously poor dubbing on the added scenes. Especially that cookfire scene between Tuco and his mexican posse. Classic.
