Summary: I WISH THEY MADE MOVIES LIKE THIS TODAY
Review: THIS CLASSIC SPAGHETTI WESTERN WAS THE BREAKTHROUGH FILM OF CLINT EASTWOOD'S LEGENDARY CAREER. A NO-NAMED GUNMAN [CLINT EASTWOOD] SETS OUT TO DESTROY TWO FEUDING FAMILIES IN THE OLD WEST. INNOVATIVE SPAGHETTI WESTERN IS DEFINITELY FUN TO WATCH ALL THE TIME. HAS GOOD STORY, GOOD ACTION, AND GOOD ACTING. THIS IS A MUST-HAVE FOR ALL WESTERN AND CLINT EASTWOOD FANS. THIS MOVIE WAS AN INSPIRATION FOR SOME OF THE IDEAS QUENTIN TARENTINO HAD FOR THE KILL BILL MOVIES. BASED ON THE JAPANESE CLASSIC ''YOJIMBO''. FOLLOWED BY TWO SEQUELS, WHICH ARE ENTITLED FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE AND THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Clint Eastwood is the High Plains Drifter with no name.
Review: A 1964 film, but was not released in the United States until 1967. I've had an interest in westerns ever since I saw the Gunsmoke tv series and the film, MY NAME IS NOBODY (1973).
In this film, FISTFUL OF DOLLARS (1964), Clint Eastwood is the Man With No Name wearing a pancho who on a horse rides into a strange small one-road town. He sees a curious little boy looking from building to building through a peephole or a window. When the boy gets to curious, he is run out by the mean men and shot at too. They never hit him. The boy finally goes back to his papa. Eastwood as he rides more into town, sees a man on a horse leaving this town with a sign on his back, "Adios Amigo". Strange town with bad men. One man hires Eastwood to rid the town of these selfish had guys. What does Eastwood have planned to make this town safe again? He tells the coffin maker to get three coffins ready.
Sewrgio Leone made three more films with Clint Eastwood in this starring role. The sequels are: FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE (1966), THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY (1966). A follow -up film, ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST (1968).
Sergio Leone produced another good western based on Leone's idea, in honor of "The Man With No Name", MY NAME IS NOBODY (1973) starring Terence Hill and Henry Fonda.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Good Movie Bad Dvd
Review: Sergio Leone's A fistful of Dollars, is a great film to watch.
The opening titles jump at you and the music by Ennio Morricone
Is worth owning as well if you can get it.This film shows Clint Eastwood in his best role to date I think,A bounty hunter.this alone made me want to watch this movie.Though the movie Clint fights of bandits with the legendary QUICK draw, which he is best at....this movie is the first of the classic "dollars" trilogy.once you watch this you will love spaghetti westerns.
thanks.
