Once Upon a Time in the West

Gotta love a little more Sergio Leone.

Bronson, Fonda, gunslingers, railroads, whores, harmonicas and greed and revenge all mix to tell the tale of a family’s mysterious slaughter and a mysterious strange showing up for vengeance.

A lot of critics claim its the best Western ever made and the deeper themes of heroes, progress (the railroad) and the common man pervade throughout. Also, Sergio Leone’s love and influence by Kurosawa is pretty apparent throughout.
