I watched Yojimbo, Seven Samurai, and Sanjuro recently having been given a box set as a gift.DrStrangelove said:Do yourself a favor and check out Kurosawa's Yojimbo.WanderingFool said:My top three favorite western movies is the whole "Man with no name" trilogy. I think my favorite is possibly A Fist Full of Dollars.tribeka said:They definitely are. Everyone mentions The Good, the Bad and the Ugly as their favorite ending duel. I still think For a Few Dollars More is the best final duel of them all:WanderingFool said:I feel compeled to add that Sergio Leone's westerns are some of the best, IMHO.tribeka said:It's from Once Upon a Time in the West (another one of Sergio Leone's spaghetti western).
