Ah, so much better on the big screen, with Leone's desert vistas on full display, and a solid wall of Ennio Morricone sound. Wah wah wah...

I picked up 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die this afternoon, and its review of this film concentrates on the moral ambiguity -- how is Eastwood "good"? -- and the subsequent influence on pop culture. "Camp and kitsch" is an unfair description, though, I think; it's a magnificent, cynical epic.
