As all my MySpace friends and anyone who has engaged me on the topic of "all-time favorites" could tell you, Sergio Leone's immortal The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly is my number-one, no-exceptions, without-fail favorite film of all time and all genres. Every time I see this film, I catch something new, and I never get tired of watching it - period.

   And now comes word of an unprecedented boxset of DVD joy — The Sergio Leone Anthology. Here's what you'll get for your fistful of dollars (sorry, I couldn't resist):

    "The previous two-disc extended-cut collector's edition of The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (1966) and the same deluxe treatment to A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More (1965), and, for the first time on DVD, the fully restored English-language version of the original 157-minute Italian cut of Duck You Sucker (previously known by its alternate U.S. title A Fistful of Dynamite), which was never shown in American theaters."

    To say that I can't get my hands on this set fast enough is somewhat of an understatement. I already have the MGM special edition of The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly as well as the standard-issue editions of the other two films. And I have waited a long time to see Duck You Sucker!

    So, I guess it goes without saying that I have some DVD reviews coming up in the near future .... as well as a special project that I have contemplated for some time for my all-time favorite.

    Stay tuned ......
