I watched The Good The Bad and The Ugly last night for the first time. It comes in at a lengthy 161 minutes and most of that is wasted reel. I'm not saying that it wasn't a decent movie or that it should be taken out of the "classics" category, just that there's no dialogue for the first ten minutes and there are way too many times where all you get is dramatic music with close ups on eyes, then a gun, then back to someones eyes, then another gun, then a wide shot. It got ridiculous and tedious. I probably skipped over a good 20 minutes of film just of these dramatic moments.
It's probably a movie that everyone should see once just so that you can say you have but keep the remote close at hand because you're going to need it.

8 minutes to do what they could have done in 2.5 that is insane. A remote is definitely necessary
