GOOD, THE BAD & THE UGLY

Media and contains quality is excellent.

This 1966 movie contains what every good movie does good story, great acting performance, beautiful cinematography and direction.

Greatest Western ever made! What a timeless classic.

I had the video cassette with me for a long time but watching it in DVD gives the extra experience. A truly remarkable Sergio Leone classic with enthralling action and adventure and the man with no name, Clint Eastwood, at his best.

A must watch for any die hard fan of western flicks.This movie belongs in the list of 100 movies u should watch before u die.Clint Eastwood as usual is superb.

First couldn't watch it on my Blu-ray or DVD player because of zone-restriction even though I had bought this in India. Had bought Phillips DVD player from Amazon which advertised itself as zone-free but it played DVD meant for India only (too lazy to return it). This time during my visit to the States bought a zone-free Blu-ray player (Sony 1200 model) and last night it played this and it played perfectly. Movie was great but at places I was distracted by how nice, handsome, and clean-shaven the main actors looked. Wish they were rough as Gabbar Singh. Second there was some comedic effect which didn't help the intensity of the drama. A nice movie to add to Clint Eastwood collection.

The best western movie out there, Leone, Eastwood, Wallach and Van Cleef at their finest, the final duel in the end is probably the greatest endings in the history of cinema. A Masterpiece, Buy it!

tooo ooo oo waa waa waa

An diesen Film, der im Original ja "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" heißt, was nebenbei bemerkt wieder total komisch übersetzt wurde, bin ich über Metallica geraten, da diese die Filmmusik der fantastischen Friedhof-Szene als Intro für ihre Konzerte benutzen. Irgendwann mal habe ich dann nachgeschaut, woher diese Musik stammt und siehe da, es ist aus einem Film mit Clint Eastwood. Dass es einer der vlt. besten Western aller Zeiten ist, wusste ich da noch nicht. Was zeichnet diesen Film denn überhaupt aus?! - Zunächst mal sind es drei sehr gegensätzliche Charaktere. Großartig spoilern möchte ich auf gar keinen Fall, wenn gleich die klassischen Italo-Western immer recht ähnlich sind. Trotzdem schafft es der Film/Schauspieler etc., dass man weder den Bösewicht, den Westernheld, noch den Trottel so richtig hasst oder mag. Ist einfach echt gelungen das Dreigestirn. Das ist eine Stärke des Films. - Das Beste an dem Film ist mMn aber definitiv die Musik. Dieser Film wird von einer Musik untermalt, die ich so in fast keinem Film bisher gehört habe. Dass das Main-Theme als Klassiker gilt, ist nicht verwunderlich. Geschrieben wurde es von keinem Geringeren als Ennio Morricone, der jüngst ja erst den Oscar für Hateful Eight bekommen hat. Das ist schon lächerlich, wenn man andere Werke von ihm kennt. Dieser Mann ist für den Film gleichbedeutend, wie Clint Eastwood, und das meine ich so, ohne übertreiben zu wollen. Die Untermalung passt perfekt, jedes Thema für die Charaktere ist einfach wundervoll. Man kann den Film im Musikunterricht als perfekte Filmmusik thematisieren. Auch hier ist die Friedhof-Szene einfach das Maß aller Dinge im Western, ich kenne keine stärere Schluss-Sequenz, als diese hier, natürlich untermalt mit "The Ecstasy of Gold". Meiner Ansicht nach sogar noch stärker, als das Main-Theme dieses Films, was mittlerweile weltberühmt ist. Letztlich muss man ihn gessehen haben, um all die Faszination nachvollziehen zu könne. Wichtig ist aber auch, dass man die Musik auch richtig wahrnimmt, da der Film an sich zwar immer noch sehr gut ist, aber erst durch Morricone's Werk perfektioniert wird. Wer zudem nicht so auf Filmmusik steht, wird es spätestens nach dem Film tun. Bei mir hat sich durch diesen Film eine Sensibilität bei der Filmmusik eingestellt, sodass ich mittlerweile umso mehr darauf achte, welche Charaktere welche Themes haben etc. Definitiv einer meiner Lieblingsfilme. 5 Sterne!

If you are a fan of Sergio Leone’s "Dollars Trilogy," this 4K UHD release is the definitive way to experience the final chapter. While many previous home media releases struggled with color grading—often leaning too heavy into a yellow tint—this scan is a revelation. The clarity in the extreme close-ups, a Leone trademark, allows you to see every bead of sweat and grain of desert sand with breathtaking precision. The HDR provides a natural depth to the landscapes that makes the cinematography feel more expansive than ever before. ​The Film ​Set against the backdrop of the American Civil War, the story follows three gunslingers—the "Good" (Blondie), the "Bad" (Angel Eyes), and the "Ugly" (Tuco)—as they race to find a hidden cache of Confederate gold. It is a sweeping epic of greed and survival, punctuated by Ennio Morricone’s iconic score and a tension-filled three-way standoff that remains one of the greatest sequences in cinematic history. While this film is an undisputed titan of the genre, it sits comfortably as my second favorite Western, trailing only the legendary Rio Bravo. ​Disc Contents & Versions ​One of the best things about this release is that it caters to the purists. It includes: ​The Original Theatrical Cut: Clocking in at 161 minutes, this is the version many grew up with and is arguably the better-paced experience. ​The Extended Cut: For those who want every bit of footage possible, the 179-minute version is also present, fully restored. ​Supplemental Material: ​The extras included here are a cinephile’s dream. You aren't just getting the movie; you’re getting a masterclass in film history. The set features: ​Audio Commentaries: Deeply researched tracks from film historians like Sir Christopher Frayling and Richard Schickel. ​Documentaries: Multiple "Making Of" featurettes that dive into the production hurdles and the legacy of the film. ​Deleted Scenes: Specifically those that were restored for the extended version. ​Image Galleries: Rare behind-the-scenes photos and promotional posters. ​Whether you are upgrading from a standard Blu-ray or buying it for the first time, this 4K set is an essential addition to any collection. It honors the legacy of Clint Eastwood, Eli Wallach, and Lee Van Cleef in the best quality possible.

Magnificent movie. Good quality. One of the best true classic westerns. Very highly recommended.

[This is for the 4K UHD version] This movie is the greatest western ever made and one of the greatest movies ever made. The problem with buying it on physical is most copies are the original blu-ray or the 2014 blu-ray version, both of which have issues with colour accuracy (either too yellow or too blue), and usually are the extended editions. The extra scenes in the extended editions don’t really add much to the story and instead turn the normally perfectly paced film into a poorly paced one. The extra scenes were also poorly dubbed as well. This version thankfully fixes both issues. The 4K version includes a blu-ray disc too, but with the extra scenes removed and the colours fixed. The 4K version also has fixed colours and no extra scenes. This is the only way I’ll be watching one of my absolute favourite movies from now on. Highly recommended.
