Once Upon a Time in the West - Sergio Leone (1968)

I had heard of Sergio Leone, I had heard of the term 'Spaghetti Western' before. I knew that Leone had directed the 'Dollars Trilogy' - 'A Fistful of Dollars', 'For a Few Dollars More' and 'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly'. Although I have never watched any of those since I am not really a western-type movie fan. 

I was intrigued by having this movie to watch, but not thrilled. I was surprised that Henry Fonda was in it and played a bad guy (apparently the only time in his career). In doing my post-movie research, this has been lauded as being one of the best western movies ever made. So I guess that's why it's on the list.

Ennio Morricone did the music for the movie (same guy as 'Days of Heaven'). Which was awesome and definitely added to the movie.

Overall, good movie, but not my favourite by any means. Not because of the movie itself, but not a fan of the genre. Am glad I saw it, and think I would like to watch the 'Dollars Trilogy' so I can compare. 

One word to describe 'Once Upon a Time in the West': Bolognese.
