“Reflection in a Dead Diamond” takes place following the disappearance of a mysterious woman, as a debonair 70-year-old ex-spy living in a luxury hotel on the Côte d’Azur gets “confronted by the demons and darlings of a lurid past in which moviemaking, memories and madness collide,” reads the synopsis.

The Gold Rush of 1849 caused thousands of people to flee the Eastern part of the United States and head west to seek easy money, dug up out of the ground. A lot of the lands Americans were infiltrating weren't being overseen by any kind of widely recognized law, and the boomtowns that hastily formed kind of had to make up their infrastructure as they went along. A whole new world formed: the Wild West.
American writers of fiction were telling tales of the "Great American Frontier" as early as the 1820s (some bibliophiles may be familiar with the works of James Fenimore Cooper), but the Western literary genre began to explode in the late 1850s and 1860s.

Clint Eastwood is a Hollywood legend and is renowned for giving iconic performances in films across genres. His career has spanned decades, and his Western movies solidified him as the ultimate gunslinger. Eastwood in Dirty Harry as the hard-nosed and rule-breaking cop was something that the audience wanted more of.

In 1967, Clint Eastwood's career took off overnight with the U.S. theatrical releases of "A Fistful of Dollars," "For a Few Dollars More" and "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly." This trilogy of newfangled Spaghetti Westerns directed by the brilliant Sergio Leone transformed Eastwood from a TV cowboy (as Rowdy Yates on CBS' "Rawhide") to a gunslinging antihero. The genre was reborn, and Eastwood was suddenly John Wayne for the Baby Boomer generation. He expanded his range and bolstered his popularity the following year by genre-hopping from Western "Hang 'Em High" to cop flick "Coogan's Bluff" to World War II spy thriller "Where Eagles Dare." By the time 1969 rolled around, he could do just about anything — and he did the unexpected.

Clint Eastwood's character, the Man with No Name, is one of the most iconic movie characters of all time, appearing in all three films in Sergio Leone's Dollars Trilogy. Released in the mid-'60s, the trilogy consists of A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, and are among some of the best Westerns ever made. Each movie in the trilogy is a staple of the spaghetti Western genre, and arguably the best films in Clint Eastwood's career.
Though it is considered a trilogy, each film is loosely connected, with Clint Eastwood's Man with No Name being essentially the same character in all of them. Eastwood wasn't the only actor to have a role in more than one film in The Dollars Trilogy, as Sergio Leone reused several others throughout all three movies, understanding the talent he had on hand.

Clint Eastwood's Best Picture-winning Western is getting a new streaming home. Since the 1960s, the American icon has been widely associated with the Western genre. He rose to fame for his roles as the ramrod Rowdy Yates in the Western television series Rawhide and the bounty hunter, the Man with No Name, in director Sergio Leone's Dollars trilogy of spaghetti Westerns, which includes A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
Eastwood capped off the 1960s with the Westerns Hang 'Em High, which was his first starring role in an American movie, and the musical Paint Your Wagon. During the 1970s, Eastwood starred in Two Mules for Sister Sara and Joe Kidd before he began directing his own Westerns in addition to starring, starting with High Plains Drifter and followed by The Outlaw Josey Wales and Pale Rider.

This 1967 Lee Van Cleef Western Is The Perfect Movie To Watch After Clint Eastwood's Dollars Trilogy

Thanks in large part to Lee Van Cleef, Death Rides A Horse makes for the perfect viewing experience after Clint Eastwood's The Man With No Name trilogy. Although The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is generally considered the quintessential Clint Eastwood Western, it's far more than just a vehicle for the actor. As indicated by its title, it's really a movie driven by a trio of stars, not just Eastwood. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly wouldn't have worked without the compelling performances offered by Eli Wallach and Lee Van Cleef. The latter is similarly vital to For a Few Dollars More as well.
Lee Van Cleef is in top form in The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, which sees him play the film's villain to sinister perfection. His ruthless yet calm demeanor allows his character - known only by the nickname of "Angel Eyes" in...

The IMDb top-250 is a curious portrait of populist taste. The list is, it's worth remembering, culled only from user ratings on the IMDb website, and, judging by the films on the list, the average IMDb user seems to be a college-age white male with a taste for crime, guns, fantasy, and the ultra-masculine. The top movies on the list all seem to be the types of movies that young men would own posters for, proudly displayed on their dorm room walls. There are many unassailable classics, to be sure, and young teens could easily look to the list as a rudimentary introduction to the world of cinema, but the list seems ... skewed. There's not a lot of variety. It's not curated by a single critic, nor even a panel of critics. It's just a general consensus of the taste of the types of people who like to rate movies on IMDb.

Clint Eastwood owes his career to Westerns. He became a familiar face to American television viewers between 1959 and 1965 as the ramrod Rowdy Yates in the popular CBS series "Rawhide" before venturing off to Spain, where, with Italian filmmaker Sergio Leone, he helped turn the genre on its ear with the Spaghetti Western trilogy of "A Fistful of Dollars," "For a Few Dollars More," and "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly." From that point forward, Eastwood in any kind of Western was a big deal at the box office, which was especially impressive considering that oaters were declining in popularity throughout the 1960s and into the '70s.
Ultimately, even Eastwood couldn't keep the genre afloat. After an impressive run that included "Hang 'Em High," "Two Mules for Sister Sara," "High Plains Drifter," and "The Outlaw Josey Wales," the star only made one proper Western in the 1980s ("Pale Rider...

In the late 1960s, Paramount Pictures was getting a young-gun makeover with upstart producer Robert Evans taking the reins of the struggling studio. With the New Hollywood movement exploding thanks to provocations like "Bonnie and Clyde" and "Easy Rider," Evans was keen to hire exciting young filmmakers to apply their unique talents to the day's bestsellers. When he hit critical and commercial paydirt with Roman Polanski's "Rosemary's Baby," he turned his attention to another hot novel owned by the studio, one that had the potential to revitalize the gangster film.
Author Mario Puzo hadn't even finished "The Godfather" when Paramount executive Peter Bart offered him $115,000 for the manuscript. His instincts proved spot-on. Within two years of its 1969 publication, "The Godfather" had become a phenomenon, selling in the neighborhood of nine million copies. A feature film adaptation was inevitable.

Throughout movie history, there have been some iconic rivalries between actors that have kept audiences intrigued. Some of the best movies of all time featured cast members who clashed behind the scenes, but a few of these feuds were so heightened that they continued long after the cameras stopped rolling. These wild disputes happened for a range of reasons, whether that be a professional qualm, or something dramatic off-screen in their personal lives.
While there were plenty of shocking TV feuds for viewers to invest in, there have been just as many rivalries created in the movie industry. The pressure of working on long and harrowing shoots, working with a wide range of people from different backgrounds, and producing a good performance often made actors fight with one another. There have been several fascinating rivalries between movie actors over the years, but some were more prominent than others.

Big Hollywood and international film and TV shoots have been held in Spain for decades, from “El Cid,” “Lawrence of Arabia” and “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” to more recent standouts such as “The Crown,” “Game of Thrones,” “Venom: The Last Dance” and “Kaos.”
While filmmakers often have the final say in where their film will be shot, and producers are often concerned with the bottom line, location managers almost always serve as the icebreaker when it comes to shooting in a foreign territory. They’re the first ones to assess the viability of locations, scout the logistical viability of a country and meet with the locals that will contribute to production.
So what is it that attracts these professionals to Spain, and why do they continue recommending the country as a shooting location for their foreign shoots?

Clint Eastwood is a lot of people’s favorite, if not everyone’s, and it’s not just because of his outstanding charms as an actor-cum-director. For decades, the films he has starred in and helmed have left an indelible mark on his audiences, going down as either some of the finest pieces in history or some really controversial ones; but it’s not like the 94-year-old really cares.
That said, while his excellent skills as one of the most legendary veterans in Hollywood are one to appease his audiences, what further leaves his fans in awe of him is his “I don’t care” attitude. While he has received praise, Eastwood has also been at the receiving end of quite some criticism, and throughout it all, he has been as nonchalant about it as ever.

The comic book version of "The Boys" ran for 72 issues, but as issue numbering can often be, this is misleading. Writer Garth Ennis also penned three six-issue "The Boys" mini-series that are essential parts of the story: "Herogasm," "Highland Laddie," and "Butcher, Baker, Candlestickmaker." Counting these and the 2020 epilogue mini-series "Dear Becky," "The Boys" is really 98 issues.
When "The Boys" was collected as trade paperbacks, these miniseries were included as if they were part of the series' main run.
"Herogasm" is a business as usual arc of the Boys infiltrating a Supe orgy. ("Herogasm" later became one of the best episodes of the "Boys" TV series.) "Highland Laddie," meanwhile, is about Hughie taking a break from Supe-hunting and going back to Scotland, whereas "Butcher, Baker, Candlestickmaker" finally fills in the backstory of antihero Billy Butcher.
Called back to England for his abusive father's funeral, Butcher remembers his life story.

Quentin Tarantino, best known for his supporting turn in "Destiny Turns on the Radio," has never been shy about his taste in movies. Tarantino has long been drawn to aggressively masculine genre films, Westerns, war pictures, martial arts films, and anything one might have seen at a run-down grindhouse theater in 1977. He also likes very terse, tense movies, and has listed Martin Scorsese's "Taxi Driver," William Friedkin's "Sorcerer," and Sergio Leone's "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" as his favorites. He's likewise admitted to having fond feelings for "The Great Escape" (who doesn't?) and thinks very highly of Christopher Nolan's "Dunkirk." It's easy to guess that he similarly loves "Rio Bravo" and "Apocalypse Now," and he often recommends the Sonny Chiba vehicle "The Street Fighter" from 1974.
Despite his tastes, however, Tarantino remains cinematically omnivorous, taking in hundreds of movies a year, sussing out the pop...

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly quotes help cement the iconic Spaghetti Western in cinema history. It is not only one of the best Westerns ever made, but it also ranks highly in many "Greatest Movies Of All Time" lists and for good reason. Director Sergio Leone created an everlasting masterpiece in this final installment of the Dollars Trilogy. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly's script is terse, but it also includes quite a few great lines of dialogue, ranging from the humorous to the profound.

In the early 1960s, an Italian auteur, inspired by a Japanese legend, cast an American star in what would become one of the greatest Westerns of all time. As Clint Eastwood put it, the film about a Mexican gang war was “an Italian-German-Spanish co-production of a remake of a Japanese film in the plains of Spain.”

The year was 1963, and Clint Eastwood was tired of playing a Western hero. As Rowdy Yates on CBS' "Rawhide," he was stuck in a flavorless rut of white-hat derring-do, herding cattle and being an altogether swell guy while contending with stock genre villains. There was a future in this, yes, but it would require Eastwood to play the same note over and over until he became a lasso-wielding self-parody.
So, when he wrapped his fifth season of "Rawhide," he accepted an offer to make a big screen Western with a promising Italian director in Spain. That film was "A Fistful of Dollars," and all it did was launch the "Spaghetti Western" trend, which, along with the revisionist American works of Sam Peckinpah, extended the popularity of the genre for a solid decade.

It would be a few more years until the low-budget Spaghetti Western made it to America, but the actor's star power and the director's talents were instantly recognizable for early adopters – even if critics took longer to get on board. By the time Leone had released two more Eastwood-led films, rounding out what became known as the Dollars Trilogy, Eastwood's narrowed eyes and steely attitude had become a fundamental image of the movie cowboy.

Clint Eastwood's Hollywood career officially began in 1955 when he made a brief, uncredited appearance as a lab technician in Jack Arnold's "Revenge of the Creature." Nine years later, unhappy as a midlevel television star on the CBS Western series "Rawhide," he jetted off to Spain to make a different kind of Western with a very different kind of director named Sergio Leone. The result, "A Fistful of Dollars," changed the face of the genre forever, and set Eastwood down the path to becoming a filmmaker in his own right.
Eastwood's directing career got off to a curiously assured start with the wildly suspenseful thriller "Play Misty for Me," in which the tough, swaggering star of "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" and "Dirty Harry" played a victimized Bay Area disc jockey.

Writer and director Quentin Tarantino is a well-known true-blue cinephile, a deeply devoted fan of films from a variety of genres and eras. He's a fan of everything from sleazy grindhouse exploitation films to classic westerns like the films of Howard Hawks, and he wears his influences loudly and proudly in his own films. So when asked about his favorite films of all time, he has different answers depending on how he feels. There is one movie that he claims to always include in his favorites, however, and he's been pretty effusive about his love for it on more than one occasion.
In an interview with The Talks, Tarantino shared his favorite three films (at that particular moment) and explained that even though two of his top three might shuffle around, he will always feel the need to share his love for the Sergio Leone spaghetti western "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.

It is borderline impossible to define the six-decade-long artistic legacy that Clint Eastwood had painstakingly mapped, as his stacked filmography includes everything from certified classics to overlooked gems. Of course, no artist can have an impeccably perfect run, but some, like Eastwood, inch very close to that ideal by re-defining entire genres that will always have a place in cinematic history. Not every good film that Eastwood helmed or starred in made a ton of money at the box office, but artistic success cannot be solely measured via such narrow metrics, as his name is embedded into the public consciousness, for better or worse.
It is tempting to dissect Eastwood's artistry purely through the Western genre — works like "A Fistful of Dollars" or "The Outlaw Josey Wales" capture his contributions succinctly — but there is much more to him than a drawling accent or laidback gunslinging. The actor has often been...

Aaron Pierre's performance in Rebel Ridge makes it hard not to believe that he could perfectly embody a Clint Eastwood character in an upcoming remake of a highly acclaimed Western movie. In its initial moments, Rebel Ridge almost unfolds like a typical Western, where a mysterious stranger enters a town on his bike before having a run-in with the local law enforcers. Like a quintessential Western protagonist, he takes a calculative approach toward taking down the ones who wronged him before unleashing his fury.
Considering how Aaron Pierre gives an incredible performance in the Jeremy Saulnier movie, and he is one of the biggest reasons why the film is both a critical and commercial success, it would not be surprising if it paves the way for him to land bigger roles. While only time will tell where his career will take him, the Netflix action movie suggests he would...

Clint Eastwood’s rise to global stardom wasn’t exactly smooth sailing. Before becoming the icon he is renowned as today, the actor’s initial days in showbiz saw him working as a contract actor for Universal, which didn’t last long, as he was eventually fired for his Adam’s apple, which Universal claimed stuck out too far.

John Carpenter's 1981 sci-fi film "Escape from New York" has a novel premise: in the distant future of 1997, crime skyrocketed 400%. Instead of stopping crime in New York City, the government merely built walls around the island of Manhattan and transformed the whole burg into a massive prison. There are no cops on the inside, and only armed guards — and mined bridges — keep people inside. Anyone who commits a major crime is dropped into New York and forced to fend for themselves.
Naturally, Air Force One is shot down, and the President's escape pod lands inside New York Prison. The president (Donald Pleasance) is trapped! The dangerous, eyepatch-sporting criminal Snake Plissken (Kurt Russell) was recently apprehended for robbery and is offered an ultimatum by the smarmy Police Commissioner (Lee Van Cleef). Snake will have his record expunged if he agrees to break into New York and rescue the president. Also, as additional motivation,...

The Dollars Trilogy chronology can be a bit confusing, but the loose connection between the three movies adds to the enjoyment of watching them. Starting with 1964's A Fistful of Dollars, Sergio Leone helped to popularize the Spaghetti Western film movement that revitalized the genre. A Fistful of Dollars also launched the movie career of then-tv star Clint Eastwood. Following A Fistful of Dollars, Leone directed the loose sequel, 1965's For a Few Dollars More. This was followed by a third Clint Eastwood Spaghetti Western, 1966's The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
Leone remains influential today with Star Wars taking inspiration from Eastwood's Western hero while filmmakers like Quentin Tarantino have expressed their love of Leone's work. According to the filmmaker, his films were not meant to spark a cinematic revolution, yet they inspired 200 additional Spaghetti Westerns.

Toy Story 3's perfect ending makes Toy Story 4 unnecessary, according to Quentin Tarantino. The Toy Story franchise is now expanding to 5 films, following the success of each previous installment.

Quentin Tarantino thinks “Toy Story 3” is one of the greatest movies ever, which is why he refuses to watch 2019’s “Toy Story 4.” During an interview on Bill Maher’s “Club Random” podcast, the Oscar winner suggested that “Toy Story” could’ve been one of the great film trilogies had the animated franchise not continued with a fourth film. A fifth “Toy Story” is now on the way.
“I don’t watch all the animated movies and stuff, but I’m a big fan of the ‘Toy Story’ trilogy,” Tarantino said. “I think there’s only one trilogy that completely and utterly works to the Nth degree and that’s ‘A Fistful of Dollars,’ ‘For a Few Dollars More’ and ‘The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.'”

Acclaimed director Quentin Tarantino shared his thoughts on the Toy Story franchise during a recent podcast interview. While he loves the original trilogy, Tarantino says the fourth film is where the story should have ended.
Tarantino appeared on Bill Maher’s “Club Random” podcast to discuss animated films and movie trilogies. He praised the first three Toy Story movies, especially the third one. “The third one is just magnificent. It’s one of the best movies I’ve ever seen,” Tarantino stated.
However, when it comes to 2019’s Toy Story 4, Tarantino feels differently. “You literally ended the story as perfect as you could, so no, I don’t care if it’s good. I’m done,” he said. Tarantino emphasized that he has no plans to watch the fourth film or any others in the series going forward.
His comments raise questions about continuing successful franchises past a natural conclusion.

Well, it seems like Quentin Tarantino’s long-awaited 10th and final film will not be a “Toy Story” installment.
The director said during Bill Maher’s YouTube (video) podcast “Club Random” that the original “Toy Story” trilogy is one of the greatest trio of films of all time. According to Tarantino, the franchise overextended with the fourth installment. Well, he’s gonna hate this news: a fifth “Toy Story” was announced earlier this year with original director Andrew Stanton returning to the chair. “Toy Story 5” will center on children who become obsessed with technology; it is slated for a June 19, 2026 release.

In Hollywood, there haven’t been many feuds, but the ones that exist (or existed) have been nothing short of epic. And among all the names on this list, Clint Eastwood has a place as well. Apparently, the mastermind 94-year-old filmmaker had an alleged fight with his peer and 67-year-old director Spike Lee around a decade and a half ago.

While Eastwood has maintained his high profile throughout his legendarily carved-out career both in front of and behind the lenses, he was called out on his filmmaking skills by Lee in a rather unprecedented manner, which escalated to the point where Steven Spielberg had to intervene. And, curiously enough, Eastwood actually came clean about it all.

The popular video game “Fallout” has become one of Amazon Prime Video’s most successful shows thanks to the collaborative work of its screenwriters Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner. Bringing diverse experiences in film and television, the pair have crafted a nuanced narrative set in the post-apocalyptic world inspired by the games.
Robertson-Dworet focuses on action movies but understood the need for character depth. Wagner specializes in comedy but recognized “Fallout’s” dramatic potential. They spent five years carefully designing a story entertaining to fans but accessible to new audiences. “We needed humor to balance the difficult topic,” explained Wagner.
The open-ended nature of the “Fallout” games allowed creativity but risked frustration if deviations upset loyal fans. Minor changes sparked online outrage, acknowledged Wagner. Overall freedom to develop new plots and personalities proved liberating. “We got to invent our own characters within the established world,” said Robertson-Dworet.

The drama and intrigue of an attempt on a president’s life gripped moviegoers when In the Line of Fire debuted 31 years ago.
The thriller from director Wolfgang Petersen (Air Force One) stars Clint Eastwood as Frank Horrigan, an aging Secret Service agent tormented over his inability to stop President John F. Kennedy’s assassination. Frank finds himself in a battle of wits with a former CIA agent (John Malkovich) intent on killing the current president.
Producer Jeff Apple was drawn to the idea of a Secret Service film based on a high school memory of seeing President Lyndon B. Johnson in person in Miami in 1965. “These guys jump out of the car with dark glasses and dark suits, and I was so amazed,” Apple tells The Hollywood Reporter.

The Good, The Bad And The Ugly is not a sequel, but a standalone story in Sergio Leone's Dollars Trilogy. Clint Eastwood's character, the Man With No Name, remains consistent across all three movies. The movie's success lies in its self-contained tale of treachery and retribution, negating the need for sequels.
1967s Spaghetti Western The Good, The Bad And The Ugly is often listed as a sequel to two earlier movies, but this is a confusing misnomer. The Good, The Bad And The Ugly stars Clint Eastwood as the Man With No Name, an amoral drifter searching for a cache of treasure during the American Civil War. Eastwoods protagonist works alongside Eli Wallachs duplicitous Tuco as he attempts to unearth the treasure, while Lee Van Cleef's terrifying villain Angel Eyes is hot on the pairs trail. The Good, The Bad And The Uglys ending sees the trio face off.

A Wild West expert critiques The Good, the Bad and the Ugly shootout for perpetuating inaccurate gunfighter myths.
