I've seen them all before a few times. But with Blu Ray it is way better. No hair in the frame etc. and sound... I never actually put the thought into comparing the three before. But your probably right; after the poll I may have been looking for excuses to not like it as much as FAFDM...
Charlie, don't waiver!!!
For a Few Dollars More is a better film, IMO. Gian Volonte' should have received an Oscar nomination for his portrayal of "El Indio." It was chilling and dead on. Volonte' stole the film from the other actors. Eli Wallach was good as a bad guy, but more in a comical way. I never once bought that "ugly" was a lethal killer. Volonte's performance was is similar to Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lechter in the first Lamb film. Just plain creepy and sucks you in to where you cannot separate the actor from the character.
Now, the overall story is more even with the "Good, Bad and the Ugly", but the ending was more satisfying in FAFDM. I liked the film ending gun fight better, and the little touch of humor where Clint is loading up the dead guys and miscounts the bounty amount. Plus, I liked the Hunchback character interplay with Van Cleef. The Hunchback guy was perfect type casting.
As far as virgin viewing who knows, I lost my virginity decades ago with this film series. But, I do know that if I catch a good "El Indio" scene on cable then I am hooked until the end of the movie. I cannot say the same for GBU, which I can take or leave if I happen to surf my way to it.
Charlie don't let the masses sway you. I know you can stay strong, otherwise how would you explain all those Stargate posters you have?

Plus you have the hot dead chick in FAFDM. Who knew there was a website dedicated to morgue scenes? ...cinemorgue.com
