Charles Bronson's best western scene

Charles Bronson in Sergio Leone's "Once upon a Time in the West" (1968)

[@eronavbj]

Unparalleled western scene. I love the way the smiles dissipate from Woody Strode and Jack Elam's faces when Bronson tells them they have, “…two too many.”

[@garyfoster7768]

Best western ever. Sergio Leone out did himself! I appreciate you sir!

[@kevinbalsdon4705]

The best Westerns were Bad Dad At Black Rock and The Bravados. Do yourself a favour and watch it.

[@PointyTailofSatan]

They couldn't make a movie like this today. Studio execs would never accept the slow pacing. Movies have to have 3 sec cuts, dark scenes to hide stupid action, and bullets flying everywhere like every 10 minutes.

[@themeerofkats8908]

The American studios didn't accept it back then either unfortunately, so they made a cut that butchered the movie.

[@kmaccluskey]

I watched this amazing Western when it first came out in '68 at an historic movie theater in beautiful Ouray Colorado. I was only 13. Recently, my son and I watched this as I explained how there's unique musical themes for each main character. For Charles Bronson, it was the harmonica theme. If I watched this blindfolded, I would be able to identify which character was center stage. My son loved it! I'll keep watching this till I'm gone without ever tiring of the music, talent, story line, scenery and production. Long live Once Upon A Time in the West!!!

[@johninjersey]

Okay but imagine the same movie but with Clint Eastwood instead of Bronson and a jew harp instead of a harmonica

[@BrokenCurtain]

Did you watch any of Sergio Leone's other movies with your son?

[@sigeberhtmercia767]

That's also something that can be found in Opera. A musical theme or motif to identify a character or an idea.

[@notbrainwashed583]

I was also 13years old in 1968 And watched the movie at the age of 54 years old 😂😂😂

[@augustinecerronejr7968]

I saw ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST at the Fox theater in Philadelphia when I was 11. 1 of my ALL TIME FAVORITES.

One of the best movies ever made.

[@pkelly5149]

A brilliant opening sequence to one of the best films ever made. The 3 gang members killing time, waiting for a stranger who may or may not show up. Nothing happens and yet you can't take your eyes (or ears) away from the screen. All the different sounds- the cracking of knuckles; a waterdrop continually dropping on a bald head/ cowboy hat; the watermill; a fly trapped in a gun barrel, and then the whistle of the train. Nothing happening... and yet you're held by it. Just brilliant.

I agree 100% Leone had no equals in his ability to show "the west" the way we think it must have been and with Morricone sounds & score you were riveted to your seat. i absolutely love this flick.

[@randmayfield5695]

My all time favorite western. So many things to like about it. Claudia Cardinale tops the list. Gorgeous through and through.

[@kevinnobody3052]

Jack Elam just kills me. He played secondary character roles going way way back. I'm not sure I can call a movie a western without him in it. And Charles Bronson is my favorite actor of my lifetime. Hands down.

[@maximiliand2544]

Love Jack Elam. His comedies are great as well.

[@JV-pu8kx]

Character actor. Fun fact: Jack Elam's lazy eye was a result of a fellow boy scout stabbing him in the eye socket with a pencil

[@alttagroup9296]

It's a nightmare of the worst movie I've ever seen, its music is loud and heavy

[@jurgenwittmann2905]

I was 11 years old when I saw this masterpiece in the cinema for the first time. It left a lasting impression on me. The camera angles, the camera work, the music, the unity - unmatched by anyone else. Every film has to measure itself against the movies of Serio Leone. I've seen this movie at least 10 to 20 times in the cinema, it doesn't work on TV. Every filmmaker should see this film first before even thinking about doing a movie. Curiously, the dialogues in German are cooler by far than in the original.

[@Sl20]

And for you uploading this movie thank you so much !!!!!!🫢🤫

[@ollymark11651]

Best opening scene in a western ever. Real bad men...Charles Bronson, old sleepy eye Jack Elam, Woody Strode. Man, when that harmonica kicks in. One of my favourite westerns alongside the Long Riders the Great Northfield Minnesota Raid, and of course the great Sam Peckinpah's Wild Bunch.

[@gregthoms5232]

Yeah, the Wild Bunch has to be the best Western ever made.

[@torstenwalter1038]

You know why there are no more close-ups on the third villain directly before the showdown? The actor had committed suicide by throwing himself out of a window the night before the turn.

Did this film get any awards at all? Or did we in Europe only recognize the quality much later? If it were up to me, every year all the Academy Awards would go to this film. Only the visual effects award would go to H.R. Giger with Ridley Scott's ALIEN.
