He has poor vision but he still talks about this movie and I love to play it for him when I visit. W both love the soundtrack.

Without Ennio Morricone's music, the film would never have been as successful and would not work as well. The filmmaker said in a documentary that he had the music played on set and the actors also acted according to the music. For me this is the perfect collaboration and a masterpiece. Sergio Leone and Ennio Morricone!!! Thank you for your life's work

[@meditationmountainbyrishab919]

Sergio Leone was a great rare master, he understood cinematic dimensions, angles, light, sound, depth of field, costumes, makeup and narrative usage, like very few do. He knew how to block and shoot a western better than anyone and this is what makes Once Upon a time in the West, unmatched!

[@juerv1]

And he had a unique talent for gathering the best people around him. He cast Eastwood, Van Cleef and Bronson, three actors whose qualities Hollywood had ignored. And of course he cast Fonda, Wallach, Robards, Steiger, Coburn. And with Morricone, Tonino Delli Colli (camera) and Carlo Simi (costumes/sets), he had three men who did outstanding work in their field. I don't think any other director has ever applied such extraordinary cinematic talent to a popular film genre as the Western. Leone never wanted to be an elite or intellectual director, but wanted to make popular films.

The script was re written for Bronson’s Harmonica role when Eastwood declined.

It''s got some superb scenes but I've always thought (and still do) that it was too long, and self indulgent, and sometimes a bit too sentimental. Even the best film directors have a tendency to become too self indulgent over time. David Lean was the same. So were Kurosawa and Bergman.

One of my favorite movies of all time - the script alone is nearly perfect!! I was blown away when I once read that Bertolucci and Dario Argento helped writing it as young men.. incredible!!!

You see, in writing we learn the difference between showing and telling. The same rules apply to visual media as well. On paper, this scene is as simple as “two men walk behind the building, at each other intensely for awhile, and both draw their guns to fire”. Simple set up, but infinitely more beautiful when we are SHOWN! This a ten minute climax to a three hour film and in theory it really is that simplistic, immortalized though in its EXECUTION!

It was amazing to see Henry Fonda play the villian

I’ve listened to the soundtrack by the Danish National Symphony more than I’ve watched the film and truly enjoy them both. This, The Professionals and The Wild Bunch are my favorite westerns.

Composer Ennio Morricone outdid himself with multiple themes for this film. Even Jason Robards got his own theme. You could just have a scene with a woman washing dishes and he could turn it into a masterpiece.

Only The Good, The Bad and The Ugly even comes close!! Best Western hands down!!!!

When movie stars were STARS.

Bronson was a fantastic actor.

Though late--- these were & are still iconic action movies of all times-- We in our childhood used to dream such heroic(if I could have been) feelings while watching in cinemas, in those golden days of ours.

[@JerryBanks572]

God I love this movie. Thank you so much Robert for packing the DVD to my house 30 some years ago.

Best movie ever!!! Just hearing the music gives me goosebumps already. Best movie ever! Best film score ever! Most beautiful woman (Claudia Cardinale) ever! I bawl every time at the end and I must have seen this movie a 100 times!

- The matter of who or what is the "BEST" movie is entirely a matter of individual likes and dislikes !

[@michaelgarza8271]

One of the greatest films of all time.

I have nothing but fond memories of my Pops and I watching all these spaghetti westerns, together. The music, the long scenes of absolute silence, I don't think Sergio Leone will ever be beaten when it comes time to create a movie that gets you through so many emotions. If you haven't seen it, watch Once Upon a Time In America. The movie is excellent and the sound track matches it to a T.

One of my favorite movies of all time. I might watch it again.

[@johnkeviljr9625]

I could watch those scenes 100 times more. The best Western ever.

[@zarpof3811]

This is, without a doubt, the best western ever. Only a few others are even in the same boat as it (good, bad, and the ugly). The climatic ending is the best fast draw duel I've ever seen, both hero and villain can clearly be seen at the same time and you can see who wins the draw. No other western has that. It's always the cut to and away shots. It's long though. 3+ hours long.

[@deanjericevic8912]

The "train pulling out" gets my vote but you should have built more suspense here by having the 3 around the other side for longer as this it is crucial. Then as is train pulls out & the 3 are leaving that harmonic starts up; that stops them in their tracks. Idiosyncratic & one against 3, then the dialogue, the audience has been won. The acting by all involved is masterful. This type of suspense building & the delft dialogue used in this scene has, I feel, established a benchmark & is seminal for more of these western film genera.

I know I'm late, but this movie is a masterpiece. Good characters, Henry Fonda as a villain is magnificient. Good music. Good camera work. All coming together, in one awesome package.

[@jocec3283]

Greatest soundtrack of all time. In my humble opinion...

[@lorraineniece8813]

I liked the sound track of 2001 A Space Odyssey the most

[@jb8280]

I had always thought of TheGood Bad & Ugly to be the best western of all time. I had maintained this for years. I love film and it took a while for me to appreciate the great westerns. I was a child of the Star Wars era after all. The GB&U was just this meandering opus that clicked. Then I saw Once Upon a Time in the West. Then I saw it again. Years later…again. Then I realized something…it was better. The epic I once championed was usurped…heh. Subjective as it is…both are Stone cold masterpieces of cinema…but there is just something extra in the sauce that makes Once Upon a Time just a little more tasty.
