The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
In my opinion, I would give this film a 8 out of 10. The story starts out with The Good (also known as Blondie), and The Ugly (Tuco) scamming the system, with Blondie turning in Tuco for crimes he committed, and as Tuco was hanging, Blondie would shoot the rope and they would escape and split the money, some time along this, they find Bill Carsons, who is extremely rich, and he tells them where it is located. They then proceed to find the money.

The Great Debaters
The Great Debaters is a drama about a black debate team in the south in 1932. Shot in 2007 by Denzel Washington. Starring Denzel Washington, Denzel Whitaker and Forest Whitaker, based on a true story of a temperamental debate coach who shaped the students of a small East Texas college into a great team that gave Harvard's elite a run for their money.
Convinced that they could make great changes if given the confidence and tools needed to do so, Tolson implores his students to take responsibility for the future while furtively attempting to protect them from his secret role as an organizer for the Southern Tenant Farmers Union. Among Tolson's promising young students is a 14-year-old prodigy named James Farmer, Jr. James Jr. has seen the effects of racism all around him, and wants to live in a future where no one must be in fear simply because of the color of their skin. Other debaters on Tolson's team include Henry Lowe, and Samantha Brooke, the first ever female ever to join the Wiley College debate team. While most educators may not have recognized the potential of assembling such a disparate team, Tolson's unique vision truly set him apart from the pack as the team begins to experience a series of consecutive victories on their road to challenging Harvard at the National Championships.
