One of my favorite scenes from all the "spaghetti" westerns. Eastwood became my real favorite actor with this one and so many more modern movies with him in them hinged on him being in them. Right now I love him becoming the protector of all those East Asians in the movie about his Gran Torino. I once owned one of the first of those things.

Clint is my favorite, the best actor in my 86 year life. "Make my day" will live on forever.

For a Few Dollars More was the first Eastwood movie I saw, and is my favorite among the spaghettis. My favorite scene was the very end when he is loading the dead bodies into a cart, adding up the rewards as he goes along. One baddie is not quite dead, manages to get up and cocks his gun. Eastwood responds to the sound, draws and shoots him dead. Van Cleef says "Having any trouble, boy?" to which he replies "Only with my arithmetic".

Lee Van Cleef was something of an under rated actor, made an excellent bad guy and foil in many westerns, but only very occasionally the hero.

As Samuel Taylor Coleridge wrote , he made the willing suspension of disbelief easy to flow with. A good actor and enjoyable to watch on screen.

Henry Fonda did the opposite of Van Cleef in that he always was a good guy. Then he showed up in "Once Upon a Time in the West" as a really bad guy and did a great job of it. I think his look of disbelief when Bronson beat him on the draw and k**led him was a real job of acting.

Tonight I watched Clint Eastwood in "The Outlaw Josey Wales" and it was just as good as all the other times I had seen it. He is such a good actor.
