The third one is the best. Obviously.

Take The Good, THe Bad and the Ugly, streamline it and you have A Fistful of Dollars, more or less. And it's because of this streamlined aspect of A Fistful of Dollars that I chose it over The Goo, THe Bad and the Ugly. It is shorter and, as a result, doesn't have the tendency to drag that the Good, The Bad and the Ugly does. It's kind of like a satisfying brand of western fluff.

Hard choice and my initial response is for that Fistful of Dollars but that could change tomorrow.

This is easy as hell to me. TG, TB, aTU is a classic. Fistful is just a fun remake of a Kurosawa film.

Reading what I said, maybe I should say it again without sounding like an ass. I understand what Fistful did. I appreciate it. I really do. It's definitely a blast to watch. I love it. But Sergio Leone wasn't SERGIO LEONE when he made Fistful. I don't think he hit all caps until For a Few Dollars More. And then he just slaughtered everything that came before and would come after with The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. So yeah, while I can most definitely dig Fistful, Leone totally outdoes his own movie with the final film in the trilogy.

The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly by a longshot.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is just so much more epic and has characters that are much better defined. An easy choice.

Yep, easy. While I liked A Fistful of Dollars, TGTBATU is better in many ways. The characters are more memorable and more fleshed out, the music is better, the direction is better and the ending is better. The only thing I liked more in A Fistful of Dollars was Clint Eastwood's character. He's more bad-ass, because he's completely on his own during the movie. I did like Tuco a lot, don't get me wrong, but having him as a "sidekick" just lessens the awesomeness of Eastwood. Anyway, I'll go with TGTBATU.

The trilogy gets better with each movie.

Both great Sergio Leone films. While Fistful is a great western, GBU is a legendary one.
