The Sergio Leone Anthology [$89.98]
Oddly enough, this Italian icon never wanted to be the savior of the American oater. He simply wanted to make a commercially successful film, and the rising interest in the spaghetti style western seemed like a good avenue to explore. The result stands as the revamped genre’s greatest hits. Collecting together A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly, and the criminally overlooked Duck, You Sucker, we literally witness the birth of an entire motion picture mannerism. The long pauses, the extreme close-ups, the heat scorched sanctimony – it’s all here to be enjoyed over and over again.
