Amazon.com essential video:
The so-called spaghetti Western achieved its apotheosis in Sergio Leone's magnificently mythic (and utterly outlandish) Once upon a Time in the West. After a series of international hits starring Clint Eastwood (from A Fistful of Dollars to The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly), Leone outdid himself with this spectacular, larger-than-life, horse-operatic epic about how the West was won. (And make no mistake: this is the wide, wide West, folks--so the widescreen/letterboxed version is strongly recommended.) The unholy trinity of Italian cinema--Leone, Bernardo Bertolucci, and Dario Argento--concocted the story about a woman (Claudia Cardinale) hanging onto her land in hopes that the transcontinental railroad would reach her before a steely-eyed, black-hearted killer (Fonda) does. (The film's advertising slogan was: 'There were three men in her life. One to take her ... one to love her ... and one to kill her.') Meanwhile, Leone shoots his stars' faces as if they were expansive Western landscapes, and their towering bodies as if they were looming rock formations in John Ford's Monument Valley. --Jim Emerson

Nobody Drowns in Mineral Lake
Director Sergio Leone may always be best remembered for the three westerns he made with Clint Eastwood, but, without doubt, his finest work in that genre came later with ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST (1968), available on DVD in a superb 2-disc special edition from Paramount Home Entertainment.
It may be a bit on the slow side, but ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE ... Read More
Rating: - Majestic Western, one of the greatest Westerns ever made...one of the greatest films ever made...
This is arguably Leone's masterpiece (even though some prefer the magisterial Once Upon a Time in America).It is one of the most astounding Westerns ever made.It can stand next to any of the great Westerns (Stagecoach, The Searchers, Unforgiven, The Wild Bunch), and it is such a unique, moving, and brilliant experience that you can see this film over and over again, and it never gets boring.
After Leone's "dollars" trilogy was wildly successful (and is still adored today), Paramount ... Read More
Rating: - An Absolutely Awe-Inspiring Western! I Can See Why This One Is So Critically-Acclaimed!!!
Sergio Leone's monumental western epic, 'Once Upon A Time In The West' (1969) is a western movie that truly has to be seen to be believed and fully deserves its reputation as a classic. Visually, this film is a treat for the eyes, as the beautiful cinematography and photography are unmatched by anything else of its time (with the exception of perhaps, Hell in the Pacific) and combined with the excellent sound editing, makes for a very realistic-looking vision of the American Old West. This is especially ... Read More
Rating: - Masterpiece
I had never seen the uncut version of Sergio Leone's famed Once Upon A Time In The West, before stumbling across the DVD at a bargain price. I had seen major portions of it, chopped up by censors, studio heads, and the nitwits who need to run commercials for local television stations. While intriguing I did not think it could hold up to his justly praised Once Upon A Time In America. I was wrong. It does, and in its own way is just as good, or great. Whereas America is amazingly complex, and follows the ... Read More
Rating: - "Inside the dusters were three men and inside the men were three bullets.."
Arguably one of the greatest westerns ever made, this is a strange and slow moving tale of crossing paths and revenge.Charles Bronson as the mysterious "Harmonica" whom we first see at the train station.He is met by a trio of killers (Jack Elam, Woody Strode and Al Mulock).
Bronson: Did you bring a horse for me?
Elam (laughing): Well, I guess we're one horse shy.
Bronson (shaking his head): No. You brought two too many.
Henry Fonda as Frank, one of THE most vicious killers on ... Read More
