What is the Best Sergio Leone Film?
I know which one I'm picking, but I'm interested to see what everyone else picks.
Leone made some great films. He was clearly a big influence on Clint Eastwood.

While I do put Duck, You Sucker at the bottom, it is still a very good movie - clearly showing Leone's stamp all over it.

For a Few Dollars More
I blind bought Once Upon a Time in the West and thought it was incredibly boring. I guess I'll have to watch it again.

Go back and watch it for the subtle things about the actors performances - and the cinematography. The story is actually quite strong and allows for this type of presentation.

For me:
1. ...America (although Noodles is truly repugnant and the second half isn't quite as good as the first half)
2. GBU (which is 20 minutes too long...I'm just not sure which 20 minutes)
3. ...West (which features Frank teleporting and participating in a love scene that makes absolutely no sense)
4. Everything else lagging behind.
They're all great, but have some serious flaws. Having said that, Leone is so excellently, outrageously over-the-top with his camera, the flaws don't really matter at all.

Once Upon a Time in the West. Bronson is my favorite actor and that film is just so goddamn intense that the final shootout is instantly one of the greatest duels in cinematic history.

Re: What is the Best Sergio Leone Film?
So is this a good order to watch these movies? Obviously, Dollars trilogy in order, but the others. This is how I have it now. From top to bottom is how I was gonna watch...
