And you would have thought Good Bad and Ugly would have won Oscar Academy awards left and right in 1966, ( like the Unforgiven did )
but it went up against the likes of The Sound Of Music ..and Doctor Zhivago ..and got wiped washed away from competition.

They weren't excellent actors. The stories were cool and they made you wish you were the hero of the story. There were some good one liners and such, but the acting was mediocre. While I love Clint, he's not a great actor.

That's pathetic. No way Unforgiven would have gotten snubbed for The Sound of Music.

You're simply wrong
Both Lee Van Cleef & Clint are both talented actors and (more obviously & importantly)incredibly cool.

Come on, Clint has 2 expressions: Pissed, and Pissed while incredulous.

i dunno if Western movies are most people's tasters' choice. but if Quentin Tarantino can spring a couple of out of his bags of trick, (Django and hateful 8) then i guess modern day Spagetti Westerns can still pop up on rare occasions ditto with remakes like Magnificent Seven, or 3:10 to Yuma etc.

Here's a quick look at My top 10 All time Western movies:

1 Good Bad and Ugly
2 Tombstone
3 The Unforgiven
4 Shane
5 Django Unchained
6 Quick and the Dead (sharon stone)
7 The Magnificent Seven (1960 version)
8 Broken Arrow (1950)
9 The Man who shot Liberty Valance
10 Fistful of Dollars

Best of the Rest:
Evil Roy Slade
For a Few Dollars More
Warlock
High Noon
The Cowboys
Blazing Saddles
Nuns and Guns
The Hateful Eight

- i admit that i have never seen some that are considered classics such as:
Outlaw of Josey Wales (Eastwood)
The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948)
Open Range
3:10 to Yuma
The Searchers
Stagecoach
Once upon a Time in the West

My updated version of my All time Western listing:
Sorry but how da hell could i have forget/left off Leonardo DeCaprio's The Revenant
which should definitely be classified as a Western, despite the film totally snubbed robbed for Best Picture Oscar award, imo.

Top 10:
1. Good, Bad and the Ugly
2 The Revenant (DeCaprio)
3 Tombstone
4 The Unforgiven
5 Shane
6 Quick and the Dead (sharon stone)
7 Once Upon a Time in the West
8 The Magnificent Seven (1960)
9 Broken Arrow (1950
10 The Man who shot Liberty Valance

Best of the Rest:
Django Unchained
Fistful of Dollars
Evil Roy Slade
For a Few Dollars More
High Noon
High Plains Drifter
Blazing Saddles
The Cowboys
Warlock
the Hateful Eight
Nuns and Guns
Outlaw of Josey Wales (finally saw it but it's somewhat over-hyped)

This. And Pale Rider.

Dad cramped John Wayne movies at us every Sunday so I OD'd on them. Eastwood is just an amazing actor and director.
