Fist Full of dollars, For a Few Dollars More and The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, Eli Wallach was in The Holiday and in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. All three films have great sound tracks.

--- Eastwood, overacting. Weak plots.

But they are fun.

With great dialog like, "Ya see, my mule thinks you're laughing at him. Now, you need to apologize to my mule," how could it be a bad movie?

Just one example: the theme to “Once Upon a Time in the West”. Fantastic!

If you’re interested, Dire Straits did a cover of this theme, with a slight reggae feel to it… some of Mark Knopfler’s best picking!

I'm a drafting (steel detailer) checker for structural steel fabrication and erection. The detailers always say 'chicken shit checker' when I red them up.

The theme tune for “The Mission”.
The SF Gay Men’s Chorus version of it makes me cry every time I hear it.
