It's coming out this Tuesday, and from each DVD review I've read, they've had nothing but praise for it. I think you'll end up being satisfied with a purchase

I'm buying it...Leone is the master of the Western, and the discs look awesome.

Weird question, but is this worth picking up for someone who hugely enjoyed Fistful and TGTBATU? Those are the only Leone films I've seen and I thought they were both incredible and this one seems like something I'd dig a lot.

I saw it at the store today and it took all of my inner-strength not to buy it, even at the low price of around $20. I should have before that I love Sergio Leone's sytle and I'm a huge fan of the Man With No Name trilogy (TGTBATU being my favorite).

Its a great DVD but I was kinda pissed because the U.S. got screwed on the good DVD casing. I was wanting the Tombstone like box that I saw on some board here. It looked much cooler than what we got. But thats just a minor gripe from me, it didnt stop me from buying it.

Consider my pants creamed! I'll head on out tommorow to pick up this masterpiece.

May I recommend some other Leone? The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly has already been mention in this thread as being a great western, and it's personally my favorite. Also check out A Fistfull of Dollars and For a Few Dollars more. Even though it's not a western, my fvaorite Leone film is Once Upon a Time in America, a gangster character study that takes place over several decades.
