Once Upon a Time in the West (1968) - the Duel

[franggio666]

Humans used to do so much with less technology... now, with so much tech, we can't do even the half we did...

[TheItalianBoss]

E' incredibile come i migliori western siano stati scritti e diretti da Italiani (Leone e Morricone)

It's incredible how the best Westerns were written and directed by Italians (Leone and Morricone)

Grandi...

[suskistube]

This 8:31 minutes are the best short western movie ever made (now and forever)

[Plock99]

Not an eye blink. Bronson is ALFA.

[SaxonTrue]

WHO THE FUCK DISLIKE THIS? FUCKING PETER JACKSON AND HIS CREW?!?!

[norskfimbulvetr]

EPIC.

[yallowrosa]

the first time Henry act as the bad

[kerzenfi]

Its live

[joaomflores]

Hey, stephos21. You start your comment with a silly prejudice like this? Really? Come on.

[jozso49]

I love yuo.....

[jonizzio]

Someone who can read lips could tell me what "Harmonica's" loving brother says to him before he falls?

[chardenver]

@jonizzio i think he says. you sick son of a b. hey you

[cammpinno]

@jonizzio "son of a bitch and..."

[M23MATERAZZI]

If you don't cry with this scene, then you probably are a robot. stop consdering yourself a human being.

[marsupulamie]

Nobody fucks with Charles



[TheDrpado]

best western ever

[Rahoorkhuitable]

That´s where Jimmy Page asked Bill Graham:Can we play one more time the Fillmore?

[frackoci1983]

Ohhh me la pone tiesa!

[jonizzio]

If this movie would come out this year, there would be a shrink that demand that Bronson and Fonda haveto seddle their past with words and understanding...

[TheShalia29]

history....history......in cinema! leone got no oscar....this is a scandal!!

[TheHasanMurat]

13 people kept their loving brother happy.

[AngelkissDj]

timeless epic movie, with real n strong personalities, aint nothin' like this anymore, stupid scripts, way too many visual effects...

Hopefully they wont try to make a remake of this masterpiece, it would be a crime

[AverruncusFate]

The meaning of the Harmonica, finally revealed, and everyone knows: There are things that only revenge can settle.

[StormWolf01]

I'm impressed. So there used to be a time when american cinema was really good. More than 8 minutes of silence, great music, intensity, and a final duel that ends up in a flash.

If that scene was remade, in today's hollywood, they would be fighting with gatlings, provoking one explosion every 3 seconds and killing 200 people (enemies, bystanders).

[Plock99]

@StormWolf01

"american cinema" ?? :D

[Kankannan]

@StormWolf01 Id like to see American movies ever get this good. The director, the composer, and most involved are Italian. The director didnt even speak English

[MartianSanta]

@Kankannan not fair! most Italian directors of the time weren't good as Sergio Leone, but their were many good directors from all over Europe working in Hollywood, Germans, Italians,hungarians, Russians and British.

[Kankannan]

@MartianSanta Well I was talking about THIS movie being THIS good, and Leone, who happens to be Italian. Only a handful of movies could compete with it in my opinion. :)

[nazgulero]

Keep your loving brother happy !

[ophone77]

Here the proof that the best Western of all times is a Spaghetti one!

Viva l'Italia!!!

[mwedervang]

Most. Epic. Scene. Ever!

[wergili21208]

MASTERPIECE!!! Sergio Leone must ressurect!

[DaniDDDDani]

Absolute masterpiece!

[Lukeplastow]

So I sat down my girlfriend who has never really seen a western, and played her this scene. I cut it off just after the gunshots at 6:11. She punched me on the arm and screamed "WHo won!!!! I NEED TO KNOW!"

We went on Amazon and bought all the Leone films. Winner!

[romeohaitsma]

epic music,

epic movie,

epic actors,

epic all...

[hjhhkq]

this is the the film i have ever seen.

[Ra1000]

La mejor escena del oeste jamas rodada. Se me ponen los pelos de punta,

[Celeon999A]

That blinkless look by Bronson ! Even Chuck Norris would feel uneasy. :-D

[Mr1972mustang]

both gone but never forgotten

[UserNameTHC]

Best OST in history of cinema

[murdockbrasil]

A forma como descobrimos quem é Charles Bronson e como ele revela para Henry Fonda são geniais.

[antisumiala]

one of the best films i ever saw..there are more..this stil rocks in 2011

[333Revolver333]

5:52 "The meaning of life is..."

[tiburcio9999]

For a few dollars more is waayyy better..

[berliaux]

@tiburcio9999 Your opinion and i respectfully disagree. For a few dollars more was indeed a beautiful movie, but I find this one more interesting, more exciting.

[Aquar1uZ]

"Make your loving brother happy"

Ironic that Frank chose his own destiny by letting the younger brother live.

[alamo1836alamo]

Nejlepšší film a nádherná muzika

[1974kaplan]

Best western movie ever,good actor the best sountrack ever i seenennio your are the best ever.

[ricardoxavier85]

13 people dont know how to "play"

[MRdaanraan]

just one word: epic

[23ciccio23]

75% per cent of Sergio Leone Movies is Ennio Morricone Music

[maiden0206]

in terms of sheer epicness, this climax is equal, maybe even better, than The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

[MatadorShifter]

@maiden0206 Definitely better

[dennisblij]

this is what i call music

[aurbina12]

Soon something would be this good again

[seneca175]

I was very young but this was the very first movie I saw at a theatre. I'll never forget it.

[globusa100]

god ! just let me to be born in 1900 and die in 1980 !

[LenartS]

@globusa100 and go through both world wars?

[globusa100]

@LenartS yes i would !

[Sieglinde84]

Pure EPIC. Even better than Inigo Montoya vs. the Six Fingered man, and that's saying something.

[lewartoff]

When you all say 'Italy', think about this. not berluscOni

[MComix90]

@lewartoff you damn right, or maybe think about the good, the bad and the ugly...

[lewartoff]

@MComix90 sure mate

[KRATOSRETURNSv2]

Goddammit, this is epic......

[Lankastersss]

What's his brother says in: 5:49  before kicking Harmonica?

[Grigioni86]

@Lankastersss Only Harmonica knows that.

[stephos21]

oh my fucking god!!!is this a 1968 movie???look at the scenes!the direction is to die for!

[expositor]

Serious who can dislike this?!

[Vassag022]

Beautiful

[M23MATERAZZI]

It is not the typical emotional movie, but that doesnt mean anything, I think it's totally normal to cry here, this scene and the music are so GREAT that its impossible not to feel it, it's love for art and cinema, its fucking epic.

[94krisu]

Revenge is a dish best served cold....

[didaludi]

Last sunday me and my dad were home alone and I was making some popcorn for us (no reason, just wanted some snacks). While I was in the kitchen he was channel surfing. As I was bringing us 2 bowls of popcorn into the living room he stopped on one channel - it was the very beginning of a rerun of OUATITW! Neither of us knew that it was on that night. Talk about perfect timing! Better yet - destiny! Epic movie as well as other S. Leone westerns! :D

[dominik7260]

o melhor filme em trilha sonora, quem nao gosta é porque nao t em sensibilidade no coracao!

[josefk64]

One of the best scenes ever made. Henry Fonda at his greatest role

[massa5584]

Sergio Leone+Charles Bronson+Henry Fonda+Ennio Morricone= E P I C ! !

[zigguratify]

vengeance never dies

[thadon12]

Instant goosebumps.

[jek852]

Charles Bronson was the real alpha male, now there is only pussies out there...

[ncj25]

@jek852 Haha you said it all right there, nicely done

[murdockbrasil]

@jek852 We still have Clint Eastwood!

[DynastyLuminous46]

@jek852 True, how did protagonists like this get replaced by fucking Edward Cullen?

[brammatie2]

@jek852 wtf?

[sergioscorsese]

this is cinema at its peak

[stormywinter2004]

This movie I saw in 1979 on the desolate Island Schiermonnikoog in Holland.

I was going to see a fantastic movie I was told by my dad. This was something new. No John Wayne and the old coyboy-indian fight. This was about something, what's life about. The struggle for justice.

A fight in the club where I saw it made it even surreal, This was life.... these kind of movies aren't made no more. It's a pity.

[rrushekumlla]

i would watch this all day !

[tumtillio]

I hope that no one ever enters the top comments. They're like a film in themselves, haha.

[tigerboy1966]

The sequence that killed cinema as an art form.

Why? Because nothing would ever be this good again.

[2099deadpool]

@tigerboy1966 Amen!

[GiammarcoAkaDizon]

legendary ennio morricone!!

[Roby99ful]

CHILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLSSSSSSSSSSSS­SSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[caronthegerman]

@Roby99ful

The entire 8 minutes and 31 seconds...

[blzc]

Morricone & Leone. I'm proud to be italian... We're not only pizza, spaghetti, mafia and mandolino...

[blzc]

Morricone & Leone. I'm proud to be italian... We're not only pizza, spaghetti, mafia and mandolino...

LEGENDARY ENNIO MORRICONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Schaezen]

Wow thanks everyone for the support and not calling me gay... :p

[33grass33]

@Schaezen You're GAY!

[Schaezen]

@33grass33 trolled by a british, probably the worst type.

[Bagrah10]

I love that @8:21 it's a case of - "Oh yeah... I do kinda deserve this."

[Tomsouthrock]

A GREAT MOVIE IM GLAD HE GOT HIM IN THE END

I WILL LIVE MY LIFE IN THOSE TERMS, IF YOUR GOOD TO ME I WILL BE BETTER TO YOU IF YOUR BAD I WILL FUCK YOU YOU UP

[LennyGish]

A brilliant performance by Henry Fonda! He was always the good guy in films and people were shocked to see him play such an evil character: people were going "Jesus Christ!, that's Henry Fonda!"

[sstephen1960]

the greatest film ever made has an amazing soundtrack the duel has you rivited!

[lesleypaul59]

...best film-composer, ever !!! best music for orchestra since bartok & shostakovich !!! LES from berlin/germany

[Tomsouthrock]

WHAT A GREAT MOVIE I COULD LIVE THIS LIFE THEN THE RAFT OF CRAP I SEE TODAY IT WOULD MAKE MORE SENCE

[finalbossmachinima]

Look at any spaghetti western, the really hero isn't Clint Eastwood or Lee Van Cleef or Charles Bronson... It's Ennio Morricone.

[lesleypaul59]

@finalbossmachinima ...best film-composer, ever !!! best music for orchestra since bertok & shostakovich !!! LES from berlin/germany

[lesleypaul59]

@finalbossmachinima ...best film-composer, ever !!! best music for orchestra since bertok & shostakovich !!! LES from berlin/germany

[33grass33]

got this fucker on Bluray yesterday! Cant wait to watch it

[dmanc1]

That shot spun him around.

[Squee36]

The Good The Bad and The Ugly is great...but it has nothing on this...

[Pintkonan]

this as good as western or duels or films get. the journey ends here. no need to waste time on searching for better stuff if you understand sth of films. i was about 10 or 12 years as i saw the movie for the first time. it's not that it blowed my mind, that happens to most people that see that movie. it's that it changed my whole life, my view on things, my view on movies. its one of the few films i have to cry. only makes sense in original version. german's did a huge crime while translating it

[FTStratLP]

@Pintkonan

Yes, in the German translation it never comes out that "Harmonica" takes revange for his brother, because in the German version Franks does not say "Make your loving brother happy" but "Play me the song of death" (which is also the German title of this Movie). So before seeing the English speaking version I assumed for years the guy they hanged was "Hermonica's" father.

[caronthegerman]

@FTStratLP

The original versions of movies are always so much better. Spiel mir das Lied vom Tod ist behindert...

[ukkfayooyay]

Interesting: in "High Plains Drifter," the bad guy's last words (to Clint Eastwood) are "Who are you?"

[BaumKeksMensch]

In the german release of the movie he says "play me the song of death" instead of "keep your lovin`brother happy" thus putting an emphasis on the harmonica sound itself instead of the revenge of his brother. It kinda put me off, the second I knew about this, but if you think about it, its not that bad by itself. It gives the entire movie a completly new meaning. Btw, the movie is called "play me the song of death (spiel mir das lied vom tod)" in german,.

[kaktusowawywloka]

Dont f*ck with Charles Bronson !!

[jgrdonquixote]

This whole movie wasn't really about avenging his brother's death. It was about getting Lee Van Cleef's hat back.

[TheFeliciascabello]

Música maravilhosa, homens bravos, valentes e charmosos. Isto me encanta... Meu próximo poema vai ser deste jeito...

[marcodangelo84]

Ennio Morricone is the man who had the greatest influence in my life, starting with this movie (when I was 6 yrs old), then "La Piovra" series. I didn't even know that all those magnificent pieces were composed by one single person. His music had such a great impact on my sensibility and tastes. God bless him and his angelic music!

[Daniel0889]

It doesn't make me cry but everytime I see it I always and i mean Always get goosebumps!

[kaledrealmanofsteel]

11 guys deserve to being kept happy by their lovin' brothers

[uSTAYFROSTY]

You've brought 1,312 horses too many.

[Zehltf2]

So great movie

[billybegin15]

11 people were on drugs...

[clementles]

Henry Fonda is THE MAN.

[winston678]

the movie that made bronson

[RedDawnIsBreaking]

@winston678 That isn't really true.

[maroonoasis]

this scene is one of the best things i've ever seen. so intense.

[58Mellon]

It is told that the scene is directed by Leone to match the music - which Morricone wrote before. So in fact it's a choreography.

[4362mont]

The greatest scene ever...just before this when Harmonica has been waiting, Frank rides up and Harmonica says "So you found out you aren't a business man after all",and Frank replies "Just a man" and Harmonica says "An ancient race"...God, I love this epic movie.

[joaoyoutuve]

second best movie scene ever



[azuraw]

RIP Charles RIP , one of the most epic person in history of movie

[yasiu1918]

Great movie. I love it. Even without Clint westerns can be great

[dnrobs]

will one of you blink ffs

[GhostOfBugsy]

Henry Fonda was the best. What an actor. This movie is simply a classic.

[artagnan62]

exquisito,excelente,la gloria del platllo frio,la venganza.

[keepitcoolish]

Mais quel talent!!!

[Sulcuscentralis]

Chuck Norris doesn't fear anybody, except Charles Bronson.

[joneswr626]

greatest ever...love it!!!

[Schaezen]

you can call me gay, but this is so intense that it makes me cry. i feel like the double rainbow guy. and i'm not on drugs. i remember when i saw that for the first time. i was 6 (i'm 20 now) and for the first time of my life, my parents let me watch a movie in the evening with them. my father said to me : you're allowed to go to bed very late tonight, because i want you to see something you'll always remember, i want you to see this movie. and i WILL remember it for ever. rest in peace dad

[ukkfayooyay]

@Schaezen  This is the very height of movie making. One of the greatest dramas ever filmed.

[MyMREDDIE]

@Schaezen What a great way to explain what this scene meant to you,couldnt have put it better myself.

[ukkfayooyay]

@Schaezen You're gay. Just kidding. This is one of the most emotionally intense scenes in all of film -- and the music is what really does it. Don't worry about it.

[thenotoriousadin]

@Schaezen wow your dad sounds awesome im sorry to hear that

[Grayfox354]

@Schaezen Anyone that calls you gay for crying over the beautiful justice in this scene is a coward who is afraid to show they feel for it too. You're not gay at all man, in fact you're more of a goddamned man because of it.

[Xenogaea95]

@Grayfox354 word!

[JohnACorp782]

@Grayfox354 Indeed! it just strikes to the bone...:)

[levrone007]

@Schaezen many a son will tell the same story, i will remember it forever too

[Stiny114]

@Schaezen Awww. What a nice thing for him to do for you. 

[photon72]

@Schaezen Beautifull story dude. Cheers!

[NicotinMan]

@Schaezen Your father was a great guy, makes me think of mine, and you're not alone: I have to swallow tears every time I watch this movie. It's just too big.

[h0licrap]

@Schaezen .... gay

[martybels1]

@Schaezen: They don't make 'em like this anymore. This kind of emotion, this kind of power. I have goosebumps and tears in my eyes every time I watch it. Just like Once Upon a Time in America, my all-time favorite movie. Sergio Leone was a unique genius.

[MrRoGill]

Without a doubt, when it comes to cinematic confrontations, this sequence remains unpararelled. Morricone's score at his most powerful. Camerawork as exceptional as in Leone's earlier Dollar Trilogy. That zoom which makes Bronson's eyes fill the entire screen at 4.10 still makes me gasp. Listen closely to Bronson's gunshot, so unique when in just a split second, you hear the gun clearing leather, the cocking of the hammer, the firing, and finally, the report echoing in the mountains.

[MrEclectic61]

I also like the seen just before this when he whittling on a piece of wood and talking to Frank.... when he stops whittling I think something going to happen.

[frontrow11]

the look on henry fonda's face when he finally realizes who charles bronson is just before he dies with the harmonica in his mouth is priceless!...watta great western!

[MrAnarchyrules]

there is only one word word to describe this scene,MAGNIFICENT!

[GodfatherSandro]

Look carefully at the two keep their hand away from guns before the final position. Incredible

[jajabor1]

11 people lost the duel. 

[pier755]

@jajabor1 ahahaha that's for sure :)

[vanbarnum]

Still the best movie ever made.

[mrharmonica100]

Im gunna go eat an apple now...

[KimmoPeltola1]

The best movie I have ever seen! Leone and Morricone were a perfect artistic couple!
