Not to mention one of the finest endings in cinema

This actually laid out the basic premise for Hollywood westerns to come. Its huge emphasis on Kurosawa aside, Leone had everything else pictured perfect - a gang of ruthless killers, a maniacal leader, a revenge angle, and above all Eastwood in his flawless stride. The expressions by Kinski (the hunchback) when Van Cleef strikes a match on his hunch, is absolutely awesome! Not to mention the very strong performances from both Van Cleef and Gian Maria Volonte, combined with the kickass opening sequence and soundtracks and the breathtaking cinematography only Leone can pull off. The best western ever made, in my book.

Shutter Island
Well crafted, well acted, wonderfully art directed and lensed, but still a bit empty. The "big twist" is evident in the first ten minutes, which is the fatal flaw of this type of film. That said, Marty made a solid b-movie with an excellently dark ending. 6.9/10
