The Skinny

Prime Cut! is a blog devoted to the coolest movies on the planet that have been shot & chopped. I'm talking Cult Classics, B-movies, Hard boiled Crime movies, Action-Adventures, Horrors, Comedies, and even Rom-Com's ( you laugh, but there's some goodies out there). So please, no lames allowed!

Keep in mind that all contents of this blog, unless indicated, are 100% the OPINIONS of Ryan Hubbard. Reviews are written from the POV of a fan/writer/director in the hopes of bringing attention to these movies and broadening the scope of people who don't know these movies exist.

Find Your Movie

December 8, 2009

The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly

















In my book the G.O.A.T! (Greatest of All Time)

Let me start by saying I don't really dig Western's, but since this is my first selection I have to be truthful and let you know this is my favorite movie and my favorite director,
Sergio Leone. Never heard of him, do your homework!













The story: 3 of the toughest gunslingers in the west are searching for $200,000 in gold and letting no one, not even a civil war stop them from getting paid. Realizing each of them holds a piece of info that will lead them to the gold, they have to work together and kill each other later, until they find the stash.














Excellent story, top notch action and unflinching larger than life characters, what else do you need from a movie! This is the final chapter in the trilogy called "The Man With No Name". You know your movie is great when the star of the movie, which happens to be Clint Eastwood, doesn't even have a character name throughout the entire trilogy, and you don't really care! Keep in mind Eastwood became a legend because of these movies.











Ask any of your favorite directors and I'll bet this movie is in their top 5.
