User Reviews

Iconic. Clint Eastwood is great and the story was fun to watch. I would always recommend this one.

A classic spaghetti Western, solidifying Eastwood’s status as a charming antihero lead. Great atmosphere throughout the whole trilogy

Clint Eastwood in his PRIME! The Man With No Name, a man who is effortlessly cool and is king of the town. Classic western and classic East!

The Grassy Noll

A Clint Eastwood classic, must watch for all film buffs

Such a classic movie to watch,I couldn't in any good mind rank it lower than amazing because I was hooked from beginning to end.

A staple mark of the genre that lays down the standard for what makes a good western, even if it isn’t quite as intense as the sequels.

While not quite as good as some of Sergio Leone’s other films, this is still very good with beautiful shots and violence.

John Scognamiglio

One of the few remakes worthy of being as good as the original. The man with no name is one the most iconic characters in film

Gripping, gritty, great, and other “g” adjectives. Wonderful sets, classic lines, incredible music— what more is there to say? THE western.

Rad cowboy movie based on a rad samurai movie. >You will never be as cool as Clint Eastwood is in the Dollars trilogy. Why even live?
