Is there any film in cinematic history that melds music and film together better than Sergio Leone's masterpiece The Good, The Bad and the Ugly? Of course it also helps to have the greatest film composer (Ennio Morricone) and one of the greatest directors in full force to create something so cool, so seamless and so timeless that it can only be dubbed the coolest film ever. The final battle to perhaps the best part of the film. Although this scene has been duplicated thousands of times (I'm looking at you Quentin Tarantino) it has never been done this well or with so much style. Morricone and Leone will always go down as two of my favourite artists as their work stand head and shoulders above the rest. If you haven't seen this movie, I shake my head in disgust.
