Guess I'm ignored...again ;)
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Original MGM DVD with 161 minute US theatrical cut. It's worn, torn, damaged, with 1.0 mono and freaking glorious. I hate the bastard SE extended cut with the Italian scenes rammed back in and the bad recording of an obviously older Eastwood and Wallach, the worst 5.1 remix in the history of time and the bad DVD and Blu-ray full of EE and DVNR from the same bad video master. The added grotto scene is completely unnecessary.
News on that front, there's a Italian Blu-ray that features better color, detail and no DVNR!! It's from a company called Mondo and is the extended Italian version minus the grotto scene-only downside is there's no English but there is Italian mono.

TGTBATU is Leone straddling the gritty entertainment of the Dollars films with the later operatic grandeur of Once Upon a Time in the West.
