The best ever created by Ennio.

@hungrylikethewolf23 What a pathetic small person you are... And no, i'm not jewish

[finias246]

@hungrylikethewolf23 I feel sad every time I remember people like you live in this world...And I'm not jewish

[Claymore2408]

@hungrylikethewolf23 please hang yourself and i'm atheist.

[shelkala]

@I hungrylikethewolf23 I never knew there were people in the world like you. You are a disgrace to Mankind. Yo need to ask God to forgive you for your hatred toward your fellow man..Shel

[hungrylikethewolf23]

@shelkala

Why dont you read the Talmud and the Tanach then you know what hatred towards fellow man is ignorant idiot.

[imaedacomment]

"no description available"? No description needed. Brilliant. 

[schulzssi]

Marrant ça; 62 trous d'culs qui n'aiment pas,ben ça alors!

[LamplightersSerenade]

Doesn't this sound a bit like the Nat King Cole Version of "Nature Boy"?

[STONEMAKERCANADA]

hi

[MrJkid2010]

Just finished watching the nearly four hour long version. Definetly in my joint 3-4 number one films of all time.

[Hittingitstiff]

@MrJkid2010 That comment makes no sense what so ever but you loved the movie so i'll let you off,

[MrJkid2010]

@Hittingitstiff *sigh* It means i have 3-4 movies which i cant number because there all my favorites.

[Ronaldinhoo11]

Ennio Morricone you magnificent bastard.

[amiramilova1]

I did not trust to my eyes when I saw that there are 62 people who did not like this music. Who are they? What kind of people are they? Are they human beings?

[Kallistoism]

62 assholls

[MilkAndGanja420]

And then... aliens came down to earth... and taught umanity a glimpse of their technology... and then they built stonehenge and flew away... then my childhood started to smell like opium... and then i saw my soul flying in a tunnel of light... then everything disappeared.

[lukekennedy1001]

With earphones on, I put this on full volume. It chills my spine, flutters my heart and alters my modern soul. I look back and reflect on my life while that haunting whistling sound flows through my veins like a lazy, translucent river shimmering against the sun which is my ears. Thats what beautiful music does to me.

[JOSKE123100]

this film is better than 'the godfather' imho

[EllisBoydRedding]

@JOSKE123100 My all time favourite, music included

[dornravlin]

@JOSKE123100 thats dame right

[fatterhojben]

Ok, here's my plan:

1. get a driver's license again

2. get a stereo with a car

3. burn this to a cd along with the theme from Cannibal Holocaust

4. Cruise till I die!

[92af]

Once Upon a Time in America is much better than The Godfather is

[Anhramanty]

@92af It's a sin to compare those two movies. It's just irrational.

[MrJkid2010]

@92af Agreed.

[MrGisexpert]

check out the imdb 100 movie list the godfather is te best movie ever

[92af]

@MrGisexpert just because it is on the top list then it dosen't mean that it is the best movie ever made, cause I have seen alot better movies than that.

[NeverAloneForever]

@92af Sergio could have directed it but he went for this instead.

[derrenvictorbrown]

@92af I wouldn't say better, cause both of them are great, I think they're different, I love them both!

[AFFEHAX]

;) great theme

[WeeChrissyKelly]

One of the greatest gangster movies of all time.Anybody that disagrees must be out of there mind .

[bojan718]

@WeeChrissyKelly for me greatest movie ever.

[TheSouthernPsycho]

@WeeChrissyKelly Well this movie (In my opinion) wasn't that much of a gangster movie. I thought it was 3/4 about friendship and love, it was just based in crime (which takes up the other 1/4) . . . kinda like 'Romeo + Juliet' . . . . . but still, this is one of my most favourite movies . . . .

[ChillyCheezItz]

My favorite movie and my best score...EVER

[justmusicist]

I was VERY disappointed when I watched this movie. It had the potential to be a great movie, but it most definitely missed the mark. I LOVE ROBERT DENIRO. He is actually good in this film, its the film that is not good. As for the score, magnificent, its just wasted on a terrible movie just as Chi Mai is wasted the movie The Professional. Chi Mai is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever composed, but again, it was paired with a terrible movie.

[tonajki]

@justmusicist which version did you see? the one sergio leone intended it to be or the one that broke his heart and led to his death?

don't answer. look up the other one.

[nkelly1432]

@justmusicist Did you watch the extended 3.5 hour version? not the 2 hour american version

[Ipoop7colors]

I just say this movie. Although it was 220 minutes long, and I didn't quiet understand it, I have the need to see it again. This is really a great movie. I love Sergio Leone's movies. I am glad I just had enough money with me when I saw it laying in the store.

[Lyndle54]

The bridge is moving because some jew ghetto rats are trying to steal it to sell for scap metal. What happens when scum from the world's sewers are allowed to swarm over here? Ya get the mafia. The Sicilians too were mostly jew rats as well. Nothing good will ever come from this tribe of treacherous trolls.

[SickSideSS]

Not that's my problem- but why would anyone dislike this? Bad memories? Deal with it...

[IVomitOnYourGod]

After so many years still it gives us chills. A true masterpiece.

[shin6242]

최고의 영화!

[SteauaBucuresti]

The panflute is Romanian song. While the rest is Ennio. He heard this music sample from a shepherd in Romania.

[sabinethefirst]

j'adore ce film

[Dlineman91]

the most beautiful music i've ever heard!

[jackthehatuk]

I struggle to comprehend how anyone can dislike pieces of music like this, to each their own i know....but damn, what a waste.

[afshiddi]

@jackthehatuk

I think they are a bunch of kids who expect Lady Gaga music or Bieber boy.

[danceismyverb33]

@afshiddi Hey i listen to lady gaga and justin beiber sometimes but this music...i can't imagine someone not moved by these master pieces that Ennio Morricone has made. On earth as it is in heaven made my cry from the first time i heard it...it's genius

[StupidFuckingTrolls]

@danceismyverb33 you're automatically a fag for typing "i listen to lady gaga and justin beiber sometimes" call me a Troll if you will.

[danceismyverb33]

@StupidFuckingTrolls Naaw i won't but thanks :)

[OhSeamus]

@afshiddi why would anyone expect Lady Gaga or Bieber when clicking on "once upon a time in america" D:

[jackthehatuk]

So many great films wouldn't be great without Ennio. The ultimate film score genius. (no offence Lalo, i love you too :-) )

[papershop220]

When i was a child i saw this movie and mooved.

[lolabeaz]

@papershop220 Where to?

[slobodan2908]

Ennio Morricone simply the genius !!!

[tinova7]

@flre180 ok that soundtrack is really beautiful but no one tops the soundtrack from "the godfather"!! NO ONE!!

[floozle702]

@tinova7 The godfathers soundtrack wasnt really all that good. The filmmaking was the real element behind that masterpiece. Honestly no one will top this track

[gloomystorm]

The best !

[Viktorward75]

58 dislikes.... How can you dislike it to the point you have to push the dislike button....

[HellsGateOnTripleH]

why the fuck bridge is moving ?!?!?!

[Wad12br]

@HellsGateOnTripleH It's the 1904 earthqual Lol.

[Wad12br]

@HellsGateOnTripleH It's the 1904 earthquake Lol.

[Pawelp]

@HellsGateOnTripleH Cause we're all high

[warriorofwrestlingv3]

@HellsGateOnTripleH It was very poorly built

[lusiferotoma]

@warriorofwrestlingv3

of course, that's the brigde the want to do in italy to join sicily and calabria. Rubbish.

[coldplay9982]

@HellsGateOnTripleH lol

[Rettke]

@HellsGateOnTripleH cos the music sends shivers down its spine

[dukk77777]

@HellsGateOnTripleH lol she is moaning.

[banzai1979]

@HellsGateOnTripleH Isn't it the London Bridge falling down?

[eamonn081]

@HellsGateOnTripleH

Start of an earthquake

[trauski1]

@HellsGateOnTripleH could be an earthquake lol

[DonSchuellemann]

@HellsGateOnTripleH made in china

[badmanigga]

@HellsGateOnTripleH i think you're drunk.

[GallTommy]

@HellsGateOnTripleH I have the same question!

[Rothschild1976]

epic Film & Sound

[lagathy]

blows the HELL out of anything composed for film for a long long time...

[lagathy]

blows the HELL out of anything composed for film for a long long time...

[jmcmegamega]

Ennio Morricone... The best

[LAKATOSMARITA]

J'ai adoré le film, idem pour la musique, I l'<3 It!!!



[freedomm]

Such beauty captured on record for us mortals to hear makes me glad I'm alive despite all the ugliness in the world.

[Armenian29]

Great music and the best gangster movie ever made.

[BardCoennius]

The Yiddishe Godfather...

[DJDoggfight]

@BardCoennius

the figures are NOT jewish the living in a jewish town = this is NOT a fucking jewish Godfather

[BardCoennius]

@DJDoggfight Ethnically, the characters were Jewish, living in a Jewish neighborhood...for me, the point was, not all mobsters were Sicilian or Italian - almost all ethnic groups considered "2nd-class" citizens by the majority who lacked power resorted to organized crime. As I recall, there was also an Irish gang depicted in this film; Noodles, Max and the others "make their bones" working for Sicilians (then the Irish boys go after them). There were also African-American mobs back in the day.

[BardCoennius]

@flre180 Thanks for the tip, I saw it there.

[rorschach1985ify]

@LimeLou wow i'm 16 and i like movies like this too small world isn't it.

[badmanigga]

ali kaptaaaann!

[micsu1982]

2:46 - epic

[Carthsgtr]

@LimeLou

Fair enough I guess. I really wasn't a big fan of either but can admit they were both well made films.

[BardCoennius]

@flre180 This is one of the best all-around films ever made...damn thing is, I have never been able to find the novel this was supposedly based on...

[NeverAloneForever]

@BardCoennius The Hoods?

[Carthsgtr]

@LimeLou

Far more superior? Firstly, that is a badly written sentence, and secondly, Enter the void is a pretentious piece of shit. Honestly, as much as I consider Inception a hollow eggshell without a soul, the cinematography was far superior to that of Enter The Void.

[ghaladgwaith]

Beautifully haunting

[scooby1ize]

if its good enough for tarantino then it"s good enough for me! (kill bill)

[Jezzascmezza]

57 people slipped

[HarborGuy]

The film is a classic - and is the way it was at the time if you scratched the surface of any City.............

[ecaterina56]

samyi lucshii film!!!!!!!

[TheMovieCountdown]

@LimeLou eh the academy awards arent reslly a joke they do give awards to amazing movies. im 16 and i know alot about films : )

[TheMovieCountdown]

@LimeLou It wasnt nominated for anything not even the score in the academy awards and this was sergio leones masterpiece it took him 20 years to make

[salvador0919]

this film has the most intense rape scene I've ever seen.

[NilsVoldis]

@salvador0919 then go watch "Irreversible"

[gsheringham]

Greatest soundtrack ever written for a film and should have won the oscar but the Ladd Film Co forgot to submit it. They were almost bankrupt and the film was butchered for general release. Fortunately the full version at over 3 hours is one of the greatest cinema achievements. A sprawling epic of love and betrayal spannig several decades its a masterpiece and Ennio Morricone score is breathtakingly beautiful. Its not a cosy watch with violence and rape but incredibly moving and on an epic scale

[ealbeal]

Moving.

[SvItoJ]

57 ppl got busted whille havin a sex with a teen.

[Arrested101]

@LimeLou I think he means underrated in a sense that it isn't as widely appreciated than as it should be. Yeah, critics like it as do true film lovers such as you and I, but there are many who won't have even heard of it... or may have heard of it but never seen it. Thing is, so many youngsters these days just want to see explosions and lots of action 24/7... they're not interested in true storytelling and true filmmaking.

[micsu1982]

best drama all around the world

[sassym]

The Uncut Version Of this movie is Magnificent.

[MrMatthewrb85]

@sassym Which version? The 3 hr 49min? OR is there some black market version that's like 7 hours long, or something like that? Because I read Leone origionally had some 10 hrs worth of footage, and very painfully cut it to 6hrs, wanting to release the film in two 3-hr. parts. He was forced to reduce it even further, to 3hr 49 min. There is rumored to be a 269 minute version to be remastered and released sometime next year, for some film festival. What have you heard?

[xBiZniZ]

most underated movie of all time

[Lazar3451]

@xBiZniZ Underated ?????????????

[xBiZniZ]

@Lazar3451 umm yeah definitely underrated. It took Leone 20 years to make this film. He never received any awards for this film. it only got a 89% on rotten tomatoes. It wasn't even nominated for any awards and this amazing score that is done in the movie isn't recognized AT ALL. that is why i call this underrated

[Lazar3451]

@xBiZniZ OMG Really ??? i didnt  know that thnx for the info IT DESERVED BETTER

[xBiZniZ]

@Lazar3451 yeah it truly did

[dornravlin]

@xBiZniZ He won a bafta didnt he and roger erbert and other gave it a raze review even people who dont like it have somthing good to say about it

[Francis666ism]

One of the most underated gangster movies of all time.

[MGSmucker64]

This theme captured that sort of mystery involved with this movie and the beauty of the film at the same time

[Boss6907160]

Ennio captured the mood of the film to such an extent you wonder what came first the film or the score!! Like Gabrielle's oboe it moves you close to tears. Haunting and majestic...

[decoysk]

57 dislikes are off there meds !

[letswheel]

57 people have no ears



[rudee691]

great movie..i agree 53 dislikes do live in the retard zone...

[The2ndDonMafianChild]

Someone needs to upload this movie

[zaza140264]

great sound it relex to me

[thesicilianguitarist]

@flre180 Ah man... Look....When you watch it, take a couple of shots of vodka or whatever you fancy, and watch it with your significant other...trust me.

If you can speak Italian it's amazing, but even if you can't it is subtitled, and still great.

My girlfriend cannot speak Italian, and still loves Cinema Paradiso.

[CKDindustry]

@flre180 This I agree

[bassdude1000]

This has to be one the most evocative pieces of music ever composed. Beautiful and at the same time so haunting, perhaps even creepy. The scene where they are chased by Bugsy and Dominic falls would be nowhere near as powerful without this song. "Noodles I slipped" ...puts a lump in my throat just thinking about it.

[mariostia]

Musica magica!

[thesicilianguitarist]

@flre180 Your right very beautiful. Ennio Morricone is probably THE best film composer. Have you ever watched "Cinema Paradiso"?

The score is by Morricone as well....man...it is so beautiful. That film makes me cry everytime I watch it. (Don't tell anybody I said that!)

[SteauaBucuresti]

The is something y-all need to know. The first part, with the flute, is strictly Romanian, Doina Otului is called. The rest is Morricone. So it´s both Italian and Romanian soul mixed in one. That´s why is so beautiful, the two most beautiful souls on this planet.

[ag14drg]

romanian sound gheorghe zamfir

[nottheissue1]

1/4 to 1/3 of Sergio Leone movies are Ennio Morricone's film scores. In other words, genius+more genius=masterpiece.

[1956gooner]

fire180 - agree, along with another Morricome masterpice, The Mission, this has to be his best work

[The50centshows]

This soundtrack is only for this movie,Not for Matrix or 007 cus it would be stupid so "one of the most beautiful soundtracks ever composed in fim history" Is wrong.

Check out Once upon a time in mexico

[vincieful]

dansanz~ here is another ennio masterpiece~as well the good ,the bad & the ugly & the " professional"/chi mai~ french film...

[Toader78]

Nai Gheorghe Zamfir

[wazer7693]

i adore this movie, i love u robert de niro

[NH7Nico]

@wazer7693 Chaud de pas savoir dire "adorer" en anglais

[wazer7693]

@NH7Nico lol bah c ca non ?

[cocainecripin]

This movie is fuckin retarted.... and i do not get the ending... but i did enyoj it

[haloxcheats]

@cocainecripin It's indeed a complicated story, but if you do understand it eventually you realize the whole movie with the music included is a real masterpiece.

if necessary I really recommend you to watch it with somebody who 'did' understand it. It's really worth it!

[captain2ahab]

@cocainecripin in the end it is shown, that max got a new identy, murdered two of his friends, stole the money from noodles and married deborah.

maybe he committed suicide by jumping into the mixer....i like the movie but this goes to far

[icklerockerpags]

This is, and always will be, my most favourite film of all time....

[Cate2512]

quant'è importante la colonna sonora per un film!

[djz7000]

Actually this masterpiece's name is Childhood Memories (by Morricone of course)

[jandiehel]

how can someone says that Avatar is the best movie... while they havent seen this masterpiece

[Kankannan]

@jandiehel Please don't tell me someone said that?

[ariannaerendira]

un insostituibile genio della musica italiana. grazie per tutti i capolavori che ci hai regalato

[MantschAdrian]

moments like this song keep reminding you that Cinema truly is The Seventh Art ... and the best one of all in my opinion.

[gusyyy23]

I find it easy to masturbate on this.

[muus1979]

sack starke film

LOVE THAT PAN FLUTE BY ZAMFIR !

[Lampodoria]

Meraviglioso ! Grazie, Ennio Morricone !

[principessafavilla85]

@flre180 u' re right

[PoppinSean]

Manhattan bridge!!

Good tune

[Freedomcostmoney]

This theme is awesome! So is my cock insurance :D

[thenorthcountryboy]

never got around to reading the book "the hoods"but the film is a work of genius.its story is a rollercoaster of thought provoking emotion.the soundtrack will haunt me for the rest of my days.

[fredury]

they should create a radio station for film scores, something like "Radio Film 98.5". Only problem is who will finance it?

[tochtlitacallan]

Great movie. Bad ass theme!!!

[chefaopt]

Inspiring masterpiece. I feel that it managed to touch so many different subjects that it's just insane. Definitely worth a 2nd watch.
