Fist Full of Dollars is recommended

I love movies with Clint Eastwood, and Fist Full of Dollars is no exception.  This is one of Sergio Leone's awesome westerns that has a bizarre and wonderful score by Ennio Morricone.  The story is based on Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo.  Last Man Standing (1996), with Bruce Willis, is based on the same story and is recommended.

My favorite moment was when one of the character's laughed and something inside my brain snapped.  What!?  It was the laugh that starts the Ministry song "You Know What You Are."  I always love it when I accidentally encounter a Ministry sample.

I've never seen Fist Full of Dollars, or Yojimbo, but I HAVE read Red Harvest by Dashiell Hammett, which, according to IMDB, is the uncredited source of Yojimbo. It's kind of a weird book.
