Yucky!) in order to get my weekly allowance. I always rolled my eyes and just sat with my arms folded, waiting for it to end and get my bloody $5.00, which was sent to Greenpeace to save those cute little harp seals. (when Dad found out about my charity, my allowance was suspended until I came to my senses.) One Saturday I was aghast to discover I had to watch a stupid Western movie that was HOURS long! I was mortified! But about 30 minutes into it I was completely and totally hooked, not the least of which was because the music was some of the best stuff I had EVER heard in ANY movie!! I tried to act chill and not let Daddy see how much I was enjoying it - he needed to think that it was torture for me. But by the time Tuco was running around the circular graveyard to Ennio Morricone's amazing amazing amazing score, I didn't care anymore if Dad saw how enthralled I was or not. This film was AWESOME!!! The circular show-down, the name written on the rock, the discovery of the acutal tombstone... I was almost crying because it was over ... when Tuco screams "Blondieeee! You know what you are?!! You're just a son of a ... Wha ah wha ah whaaaaa!!!" Yes! It is the best and does deserve the #1 spot. Take it from a teenage girl just wanting her 5 bucks. I have watched it again and again, I have bought the soundtrack 3 times (on cassette and 2 cds), have forced my children to watch it (with the same reaction from them) and have thanked my Dad every time I see it. I was also forced to read 'Lonesome Dove' by my brother in law and spent the first 300 pages thinking I would never enjoy it. When they finally left Lonesome Dove and headed out, I finished the rest of the book in 3 days, losing a couple of nights of sleep and almost losing my job. I got to see the movie on tv a couple of years later and I was never more pleased with a book that had been made into a film! Every single character, every line, every place, every emotion conveyed was EXACTLY what I had read in the novel. Augustus was THE COWBOY - John Wayne's characters can't compare (sorry). As wonderful an actor as Duvall is, nothing has come close to his Augustus McCrae. The entire movie was WESTERN COWBOY. I am not a western movie fan, but I have been made to watch a LOT of them during my life and these 2 films were the only ones that made any impression (though I did enjoy True Grit also). Very disappointed that 'Lonesome Dove' wasn't included, but I was so happy to see Leone's best in the #1 spot. Happy and relieved - because I, believe it or not, would have left an even longer comment had it not been.
