Once Upon a Time in the West (1968)

The only time I reviewed a film and gave it 10, though a retrospective review (I mention I would also give its predecessor a 10 too). The five major films from Sergio Leone and Ennio Morricone, remained for many years the most undervalued artistic asset in cinema. It would take until the 2010's before either would even be tossed an Oscar and ironically for a film that is an extended version of a scene in this movie. All five are classics and different, here Once is the Illiad to The Good, The Bad and the Ugly's The Odessy. Perhaps as majestic as either man got or as cinema ever has been. I've never given a new release a ten but see the Twin Peaks controversy for the only new release 10/10.
