Tarantino acclaimed this as the finest directed movie of all time.

The Good (Clint Eastwood), the Bad (Lee Van Cleefe) and the Ugly (Eli Wallach) hunt for a buried cache of stolen Confederate gold hidden in a cemetery.

Plot twists - a who knows what / when dependency - and turns galore. But no better use of dizzying motion blur to find the grave marked Arch Stanton.

Leone and Morricone magic at non-romanticising Italian Spaghetti Western peak.

A brilliant ending to the Dollars trilogy, the prequel.
