I remember when Tarantino's dialogue was mercurial, sharp and witty, but in this film it's utterly turgid - I switched off after about 45 minutes of seemingly interminable boredom. And what about that opening scene? Could it be any more of a blatant cut-and-paste of Angel Eyes' 'farm visit' in "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly"?

This is from my work computer. I should do this again at home.

1. Johnny Moore - Sold To The Highest Bidder
Great country track with a auctioneer vocalization speaking at 400 words per minute.

2. Easy Star All-Stars - Airbag
Dub stars made an album full of Radiohead covers called Radiodread. It works.

3. Bruno Nicolai - Indio Black
Funky 60s/70s theme for a TV show I believe. Think OST for The Good, The Bad and the Ugly.

4. Mathew Jonson - Decompression
Minimal techno from M_nus

5. Mad Doctor X - Deejays and Emcees
Remember puffin the herb from human traffic? This guy made it. UK hip hop.

6. Unknown Artist - Track 1
I believe this is from the OST for Chronos by Ron Fricke. But I found it in a compilation by Stay in Bed called Telepathic Fish.

7. The Field - Mobilia.
From the aptly titled From here we go sublime. I was pleasantly surprised by this album. Great trippy dance tracks.

8. Niyaz - Allah Mazare
Ethnic Farsi modernized music along the lines of Dead Can Dance. Haunting vocals.

9. Track 13 - Pirates of the 21st Century
OST from a classic Russian action film. Instrumental.

10. Nelly Furtado - Maneater.
Am a sucker for Timbaland beats. This one is particularly good.

^It's not from A Fist Full of Dollars. It's the theme from The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly composed by Ennio Morricone.

I assume they used it because it's a one of the most classic and famous original scores of all time and the theme to Dirty Harry is 70's style soundtrack garbage. ...and people associate the Good Bad Ugly soundtrack with Clint Eastwood.


We might as well call it "The Clint Eastwood Theme Song."




>> ^Fade:
Why is the music from a fist full of dollars? Surely dirty harry had a sound track too?

'A Fistful of Dollars' was part of a Clint Eastwood/Sergio Leone trilogy, along with 'The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly' and 'For a Few Dollars More'.

No, no it wasn't,

The good, the bad and the ugly is a seperate film,

The trilogy you're looking for is, A fistful of dollars, for a few dollars more and the lesser known, fistful of dynamite (duck you sucka).

1. Kurosawa
2. Scorsese
3. Alexander Payne
4. Welles
5. Coen Brothers

Honorable Mention:

6. Francis Ford Coppola - Sure, his later work sucked, but anyone who made The Godfather, The Godfather Part II, AND Apocalypse Now deserves at least some sort of recognition, for crying out loud.

7. Sergio Leone - How could no one mention him? He did The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, Once Upon a Time in The West, and Once Upon a Time in America. Show a little respect, capisce?

8. Steven Spielberg - Some people hate him, but he's given us a lot of good films.

9. John Waters - Hello? Why am I the only one to mention this genius?

10. Hitchcock - No explanation necessary.

oh...and CNN??? A FUCKING TOOL!, Dumbasses....the conspiracy is real, and in your mind, that it is not, and the world changes for the good, the bad, and the ugly....check a mirror,

..and for crissakes, read a goddamn book!

yeah, i can't really agree with censoring a member's comments. something is always offensive to someone ...

for the comment in question: it gave me a chuckle!

comments like this (and others) give us insight to a member ... the good, the bad and the ugly!

Ennio Morricone (born November 10, 1928) is an Italian composer especially noted for his film scores. He has composed the scores of more than 500 films and TV series. Although only 30 of these are for Western films, it is for this work which he is best known.

Morricone's sparse style of composition for the genre is particularly exemplified by the soundtracks of the classic spaghetti westerns The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (Sergio Leone, 1966) and Once Upon a Time in the West (Sergio Leone, 1968). In more recent years, his haunting scores for The Mission (Roland Joffé, 1986), The Untouchables (Brian DePalma, 1987), Cinema Paradiso (Giuseppe Tornatore, 1988), and Lolita (Adrian Lyne, 1997) have demonstrated his giftedness and the power of his work.

He is also credited as Dan Savio. He will receive the Honorary Academy Award in 2007, only the second film composer to be so honored.
