Hands down, best DIRECTOR ever.

So many directors now borrow from Leone, it's not even funny. And people think it's all original and hip, yet Leone did it back in the fucking 60's and with all the critics calling him a total failure.

So fuck all y'all.

It rarely has happened that USA producers imposing a film to an author led to something great. C'era una volta il West is one of those times.

this guy is one great director that died too soon. His "Once Upon a Time in America" is equivalent to other 5 director's lifetime work.

You've earned your legendary status by any definition Sir!

The legendary Sergio Leone probably inspired Clint Eastwood to become the great director he is today! =)))

Sergio Leone e Ennio Morricone sono italiani magici!! Ho solo visto il grande epos e la grande declaratione di amore per America "c’era una volta in america". Il libretto e la musica. Un recordo "para siempre" in mi corazon. Tutti anni – un giorno- repito - con lacrimas la historia de Noodles, Deborah, Fat Joe e i altri. Mille gracie Italia per Sergio e Ennio!! Perdone mi italiano e cattivo. Sono norvegese.
