TGTB&TU was perfect in every aspect.

A Fistful Of Dollars set up a strange and surreal enviroment. nice atmosphere and some great action. loved it.

For A Few Dollars More i feel falls below the other 2. still an excellent film no doubt, i just dont find it to be quite as entertaining.
I'd switch For a Few Dollars More with A Fistful of Dollars on my list. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is easily the strongest film in the series, and one of the strongest films ever, but For a Few Dollars More was closer to it for me than A Fistful of Dollars.

Plus, I love Morricone's score for F.A.F.D.M.

They're both excellent films...the difference is, North by Northwest is just exciting, nostalgic action fun, whereas Children of Men is very heavy, very powerful stuff. If your mind isn't crystal clear and your eyes wide open, watch North by Northwest. Otherwise, you'll be blown away by Children of Men.
Well, I was a little sleepy so I went with North by Northwest...got through about a half hour of it, and will watch the rest today. I was surprised at how funny it was, and remember NOTHING of it. I like the whole premise, and thus far I'm enjoying it...if anyone could reccomend any other films like this I'd be glad to hear it. I remember liking Vertigo as well, another one I watched once when I was a kid...

Morricones score is certainly stronger in FAFDM than from A Fistful Of Dollars, and a fistful of dollars lacks Van Cleef, but i felt a couple scenes in FAFDM were a little over dramatic when it wasnt need.
ex. the scene when Indio faces off against the blonde headed guy, it was extremely drawn out, and it didnt need to be, because you didnt know the blonde headed character at all. There was also parts in the film that were rather slow, but IMO its still an amazing film, i just like A Fistful Of Dollars more for its strange atmosphere.

If you like North by Northwest, you'll love The Man Who Knew Too Much (1955). It's a similar "man gets caught up in worldly affairs" international thriller also directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Make sure you get the 1955 version starring James Stewart, because Hitch directed an earlier version as well, which isn't as strong.

Of course I'll always recommend Vertigo...it's my third favorite film of all time. It's a hauntingly surreal thriller with ballsy twists and a fierce cast.

I've got plenty of Hitchcock recommendations if you'd like more...
