At 8:00 EDT on Epix Drive In channel. I can't say why I've never seen it, as it seems to be highly regarded. Guess we'll give it a look.

A classic American/Italian film.

It is not a classic American western, a la John Wayne westerns, so don't expect that. The villain is the main character, and the plot is anything but straightforward.

Enjoy it.

Ennio Marricone's music for "Once upon a Time in the West" is something I can never forget! He is an amazing composer. All his music is just classic.

I always wondered if Eastwood ever regretted turning down the harmonica role?

I love the (opening?) train station scene. Sets the tone and pace so well.

I don't think "Harmonica" blinked throughout the entire movie.

Damnit - first thing that popped in my head when I saw the title of this thread.

I bought the DVD with the extra comments part years ago and got almost through the whole thing before I realized that what it was was different movie experts talking over the entire movie... kind of interesting....

I still say Henry Fonda's part has to be the most evil character ever in a western.

I can still hear the harmonica song in my head. A great classic western with some great actors.

Once Upon A Time In The West is Sergio Leone's Magnum Opus. Morricone's brilliant soundtrack underpins every furtive-glance, and fly-swat in the film. Excellent Western, right-up with The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.

Check this out. The cinematography and Morricone's score, especially.
