      The Good, the Bad and the Ugly was the third one in the trilogy. It’s definitely a fantastic film, and all three of them are worth watching. However, the third one is a bit more of an epic. The first one is more approachable as an entry into the spaghetti western genre, both in themes and runtime.

        Ho-ly-shit. I feel like that lady that had only seen the first part of The Sound of Music, and thought the boy was a mailman.

        I thought, because “A Fistful of Dollars” starts so abruptly and “The Good, The Bad and the Ugly” has a proper introduction of the nameless gunslinger, the chronology was backwards, but yep, you’re right and I’ve been a fool for years! Years I say!

        Then again, time is not linear so I guess it didn’t matter :)

            What’s worse: I first got “A fistful of dollars”, then checked the first 10 minutes and thought:" this can’t be the first one, they haven’t introduced the characters", so I got the last one, and watched it first. And for the longest of times that was how I thought the trilogy was sorted…
