One of my favorite directors of all time. He really loved cinema. “When I was young, I believed in three things: Marxism, the redemptive power of cinema, and dynamite. Now I just believe in dynamite.”
Wondefrul filmmaker and storyteller... it's truly amazing how his few films evolved from old Italian spaghetti westerns, to a beautifully told epic western, to his childhood-dream story of America.
Might be my favourite director. Definitely my favourite director in a technical sense.
Duck, You Sucker (also known as A Fistful of Dynamite) is absolutely my favorite as well.
The Auteurs only has three films of the God of Italian Cinema? For a Few Dollars More A Fistful of Dollars Duck, You Sucker! My Name is Nobody Where?
Sergio Leone was my introduction to my favourite genre- the western. Thank you for sharing your love of the western with me.
Now - please, add "Il Colosso di Rodi", "Per qualche dollaro in Più", "Per un Pugno di Dollari", "Giù la Testa" and you're done !!!
