Once Upon a Time in the West (1968)

From a cinematic point of view, this movie is basically perfect. It's got all those long slow takes where you see how sweaty everyone is, because they're all method actors. They're really sweating out there in the spaghetti west.

Charles Bronson plays the ultimate man, using the sexy slutty chick to his advantage while Henry Fonda and Jason Robards fight about railroads or something. If you get insomnia and have 3 hours to kill, this movie is for you.


I remember finding the fat keep-case dvd in walmart's $5 bin in the early days of dvds and thinking to myself how I was one step closer to becoming that smug arrogant film snob I so yearned to be.

Bronson was the coolest. Very moody movie. Almost trippy even, with that great/grating harmonica and score. This movie is Italian as fuck. Watch now in 4K where you can see everyone's faces in super high-def closeups.
