Hey, reverse George's list and you have mine. Imagine that!

1. Once Upon A Time In The West - A (I wasn't that taken with the film the first time I saw it, but watching it a couple of times after getting the DVD cemented it as my favorite Leone)
2. Once Upon A Time In America - A
3. For A Few Dollars More - A-
4. The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly - A- (I haven't seen the new DVD with the extra extended stuff, but I already found the film draggy, especially the civil war bits.)

Own: 1 (will buy whatever Leone box set eventually comes out assuming Columbia/Sony doesn't f it up)

It's been too long since I've seen Fistful. I tried renting it a few years ago from Netflix when I rented GBU and Few Dollars More but it got lost in the mail and then it was a "long wait" and I gave up after a while. Definitely want to see Duck You Sucker.



I know what I'm gonna do tomorrow, and the next day, and the next year, and the year after that. - George Bailey

2002 Sight & Sound Challenge: 313 Last Watched: Time of the Gypsies

Last 10 Films Watched:
Dial M for Murder - B+ / I Confess - A-
Star Wars: The Clone Wars - C+ / Brand Upon the Brain! - B+
Stage Fright - B / Rope - B+
Lifeboat - B / The Dark Knight - B+
Suspicion - B / The Deal - B

This one's easy, I've got only two and need to see more of his films.

Once Upon a Time in America - - hard ass but brilliant film that sprawls the ages
Once Upon a Time in the West - - hard ass and brilliant film that fucks the West.

Consider that the ranking as well. A slight edge to America for connecting to me despite the repulsiveness of Deniro's characters actions near the end.
