As long as we're talking about movies.
I just watched the Good the Bad and the Ugly this past weekend and I think it was For a Few Dollars More. Anyway in both those films I get the biggest kick out of Lee Van Cleef. Although really great in the Good the Bad and The Ugly, I think he nails the essence of "cool" in For a Few Dollars More, especially in the scene where he's trying have his supper and he blasts the bad guy. |

That was good, but it was too long and drawn out. |

I know its the easy answer, but the Good, the Bad, and The Ugly really is the greatest western of all time. What really sets it apart from all the others is the brilliantly allegorical scene at the end of the film when Tuco is running through the cemetery, seaching for the grave that has the confederate gold. That scene beautifully symbolizes the seach, the quest for something, that is the essence of every man's life. But what few of us realize is that as we chase our dreams, death is the ever present specter lurking in the background,that it provides the backdrop to everything we do in the world, and that in the end, as we chase our dreams, we are all just running to the grave. Which grave? Its an unmarked grave, its the man with no name. He doesn't have a name, because he is no one in particular. He is every one of us.
Wah, wah, wah... |

You/re spot on with the Clint Eastwood flicks. High Plains Drifter is at the top for me.
