Sorry, should have said the "Dollars Trilogy," but for some reason I always call it the Man With No Name Trilogy. Fucking great either way. Once Upon a Time in the West is probably a better film, but not as easy to love as the consummate westerns Sergio Leone created

aw, thanks. you're my new friend too.

and it's mike leigh who directed "naked"....i forgot suggesting him, but he's just a fascinating director all round....like the late bob altman, he builds the screenplay out of actors' improvisation: when the results are good they're really really good (and so good that i'm willing to ignore the fact that both leigh and altman have made some terrible movies too)

Prospero's Books, seriously? If he wanted to cast Gielgud in every role, I don't see why he didn't do The Comedy of Errors and cast Gielgud as both Dromios and both Antipholuses.
