Film: TNG Movie Club: Once Upon a Time in the West
Every Friday TNG recommends a movie you may have missed. Last week we featured Magnolia.
Director Sergio Leone is the master of the spagetti western. While he is noted most for the films that made Clint Eastwood famous (A Fistful of Dollars/The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly/etc.), his masterpiece was “Once Upon A Time In The West” (1968). It’s a sweeping epic with all the distinct elements that have made Leone one of the most visionary and imitated directors in film history (view his wiki for more info on his style).
In addition to Leone’s unique directorial stylings and epic setting, the film is most noteworthy for its score and use of music (the amazing Ennio Morricone…you may be tempted to buy the soundtrack after viewing), as well as the iconic performances by legendary actors: Charles Bronson as the drifter, Jason Robards as the hired gun, and Peter Fonda (in a major departure from his good guy roles) as the villian…and what a villian.
I’ve included a clip after the jump.

Ennio Morricone is the personification of genius.
