A Fistful of Dollars (1964) got me hooked. That kicked off a full-blown Western movie marathon: For a Few Dollars More (1965), The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966), and then Once Upon a Time in the West (1968).

All of them were fantastic — brilliant acting, masterful storytelling. Westerns reward patience. They take their time, drop subtle hints, and let the story unfold without infantilizing the viewer.

Very low-time preference!

I’m really enjoying the ride and planning to keep watching more of the best Westerns on my free days. 🤠🎬
