“Art it is, summoned out of the imagination of [Sergio] Leone and painted on the wide screen so vividly that we forget what marginal productions these films were.” — Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Directed by David Miller, 1962
PG; 107 minutes
“The performances are strong. [Walter] Matthau and Gena Rowlands are particularly memorable. But it is Douglas' film. He is a great screen actor, and exerts his presence and believability in the role of the man who wants to keep his soul free.” — George Perry, BBC.com
Directed by Sergio Leone, 1965
R; 132 minutes
“A hard-hitting western with upper-case values out of the busy Italo stable, this is a topnotch action entry.” —Variety
Directed by Sergio Leone, 1964
R; 96 minutes
“Once in a great while a western comes along that breaks new ground and becomes a classic of the genre." —TIME Magazine
Directed by Robert Rodriguez, 1992
R; Spanish with English subtitles; 82 minutes
“[Robert] Rodriguez goes for broke with a breakneck pace, swarms of bullets, cinematic tricks, and a tone as playful as it is knowing of genre conventions. The director's light touch is all his own; and this unpretentious offering delivers in all departments.” —Geoff Andrew, Time Out
Directed by Martin Campbell, 1998
PG-13; 136 minutes
“There are no clever ground-breaking effects, just lashings of good clean fun with desperately devilish baddies, and good guys so fantastic, so clever and witty, that they make you want to weep with pleasure.” —Almar Haflidason, BBC.com
Directed by Robert Rodriguez, 1995
R; 104 minutes
“A bust-a-gut film experience that reveals Rodriguez as both a stylist versed in the mechanics of popular storytelling and a maverick whose ingenuity guides him along a singular path.” —Marjorie Baumgarten, Austin Chronicle
