Actors: Mario Nascimbene (composer), Nadia Lutfi (actress), Ahmed Khalil (actor), Shafik Noureddin (actor), Kamal Abul Ela (editor), Chadi Abdel Salam (writer), Chadi Abdel Salam (director), Zouzou Hamdy El-Hakim (actress), Ahmad Hegazi (actor), Ahmed Marei (actor), Mohamed Khairi (actor), Mohamed Nabih (actor), Abdelazim Abdelhack (actor), Mohamed Abdel Rahman (actor), Mohamed Morshed (actor),

Plot: Universally recognized as one of the greatest Egyptian films ever made, The Night of Counting the Years is based on a true story: in 1881, when precious artifacts began showing up at market, it was discovered that members of the ancient Horbat tribe were secretly raiding Deir al-Bahari, the site of a legendary cache of royal mummies. The tribe had little livelihood other than selling antiquities, putting them in conflict with the Egyptian government's Antiquities Organization. After reading the script, Roberto Rossellini agreed to lend his name to the project, and Shadi Abdel Salam's film was completed in 1969. This cinematic treat was extremely difficult to see from the 1970s onward until last year's beautiful restoration by Martin Scorsese's World Cinema Foundation. Using original 35mm camera and sound negatives preserved at the Egyptian Film Center in Giza, the restoration preserves the film's poetic beauty, its evocative sense of history, and its themes of desecration and veneration. Filmed in classical Arabic, with a musical score by the great Italian composer Mario Nascimbene. Restored in 2009 by the World Cinema Foundation at Cineteca di Bologna L'Immagine Ritrovata Laboratory. The film was restored with the support of the Egyptian Ministry of Culture.

Quotes:

Bob: We brought you along because you're supposed to be the big man with the iron; but I think now I could even out pull you.::Rio: You're probably right, Bob. You probably could put six in me by the time I put that one into you.

Bob: [referring to Rio's busted gun hand] It's been six weeks. That hand ain't gettin' no better. I say we lay for Longworth with shotguns and then go rob that bank.::Rio: Ambushin' folks ain't exactly my style, Bob.::Bob: I'd say your style's gettin' a bit slow. We brought you along because you're supposed to be the big man with the iron; but now, I think I could even out pull you.::Rio: [Putting his hand on his gun butt] You're probably right, Bob. You probably could get six into me by the time I get that one into you.

Deputy Lon Dedrick: You got a lot of guts, ain't you kid?::Rio: You're the one with the gut Lon.

Longworth: You've been tryin' to get yourself hung for the last fifteen years Kid. This time I think you might have made it.

Bob: What about Longworth?::Rio: Nothin' about him. In the mornin' I'll kill him and then we'll rob that bank.

Rio: You may be a one eyed jack around here, but I've seen the other side of your face.

Deputy Lon Dedrick: You ain't gettin' no older than tomorrow.

[Longworth has tied up and whipped Rio]::Rio: You better kill me.::Longworth: No, there's no need for that. [smashes Rio's gun hand with a shotgun butt] Your gun days are over. Put him on a horse.

Louisa: You think that to kill him, will make you a man?::Rio: Well, I don't know 'bout that. But I know that I thought about him every day for five years. And that was the only thing that kept me going.

Bob: This is part that's goin' to tickle you; the sheriff in that town is named Dad Longworth.
