  1. Ah, but this clip from Fistful of Dollars clearly shows that Clint did in fact wait for his enemies to move first.

  2. Yes, I think the idea is that the person who draws first should win but in the movies the ‘good guy’ always waits to draw second.

  3. Oh, OK. That FoD shoot-up is my favourite from the Man With No Name’s extensive portfolio. Outstanding. Great tesnion in the lead-up too. The hombres crap thesmelves when they realise he isn’t joking about them apologising to the mule.

  5. A Fistful of Dollars was the best Eastwood/Leone collaboration. But Once Upon A Time In the West shits on it.

  9. Probably my favourite Western is Lonesome Dove. And here, following one of the best non-gunplay whippings EVEH – at 3:46 – is a line in my top five of all time.

  10. Once Upon A Time In The West
    The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
    The Outlaw Josey Wales
    A Few Dollars More
    The Searchers
    .
    Top 5 Westerns for me. Only three directors. Sorry Clint. But Unforgiven is #6.
