A pivotal movie kickstarting the great western spaghetti style! I’ve not seen this movie but the colors on this poster are great. I like this style of art too… Now I’m tempted!

You've never seen A Fistful of Dollars?  I don't speak Spanish but I can read that on this poster.  Hell yes, I'd find room in the garage for that one!

Picture this. Dad takes us 2 kids and mom to the drive-in in a 1969 Mustang to see this movie on a Friday night. Which unbeknownst to us is " regular" movie night 

Saturday night is xxx movie night. And what happened at that time was drive in intermission. Don't get ahead of me. 🤣

Yep, Saturday night XXX movie previews come on, Mom and Dad are trying like hell to block our views but my brother and I were like that whack a mole game trying to see!

My Dad got mad because I'm telling my brother to bob and weave just like dad taught us.

I haven't thought about that in years! Thanks for the reminder. 👍🤣

Our drive in was twin screens. I’d fake sleeping in the back of our VW 412 and just watch the movie on the screen that was behind us. No sound, no problem. Interesting stuff was showing after the features to put it mildly 😁

Despite the fact that the movie copied elements from Akira Kurosawa's 1961 classic, "Yojimbo", this movie re-invigorated the Westerns genre. At the time, it wasn't appreciated as it is now. This may be because this film was followed by "A Few Dollars More" and "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly".

Sergio Leone, the director of this film, was a unashamed Americanophile and this is easily evident in his films. If you have the time, check out the excellent 2022 documentary on his filmmaking and its influence on other filmmakers titled, " Sergio Leone: The Italian Who Invented America."
