The Gun Of Bavaria Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 It's on AMC right now and it took me watching to realize that the Tomlinson-Palamalu commercial music was from it. Great soundtrack! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borgoguy Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 This is one of my favorite films, but that theme--Ecstasy of Gold--is from another Sergio Leone film, The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly. (Actually, I love most of Leone's work.) The music was composed by Leone's long-time musical collaborator, Ennio Morricone. His music takes you right back into those iconic Spaghetti Westerns of the 60s and 70s, which often featured an up and coming Clint Eastwood.

Brilliant, SFJ. How awesome were Eli Wallace, Lee Van Cleef, and Clint in that movie. I could watch that thing every day and not get bored. Edit: Eli Wallach. Please forgive my error.

GdNh9f2Wwm0 Eli wallach was great in that movie. when Lee Van Cleef left a note, Tuco read it saying ''id id id id id'' and eastwood grabs it and says ''idiots, it's for you'' and hands it to Tuco. I LMAO every time I watch that movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I LMAO every time I watch that movie. LOL! The interplay between those three great actors is what elevates that film into the stratosphere. I first saw it as a kid visiting Italy for that Summer. My brother and I would go to the movies any time one of Leone's Spaghetti Westerns were playing. Remember For a Few Dollars More? EDIT: Again, for those not familiar with the genre, that is the brilliant music of the genius, Ennio Morricone. b2l4IKz3m7c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowmoe57 Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 I once dated an Italian girl years ago -- when I mention spaghetti western she wondered what I meant - after I explained it she got quite offended -- tried to explain I did not make that up but to no avail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am literally off the boat and I have always used that phrase. She sounds way too sensitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You made my day bringing up this genre. All those movies are easily confused. Thanks again for mentioning either movie, G.O.B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
