Is Sergio Leone's Once Upon a Time in the West (1968) the best western of all time?

Gunslingers, one-road towns, horse and buggies... Once Upon a Time in the West has them all, and spread across a sprawling near three hour running time that is as punishing on the ol' rickety knees as it is rewarding to the eyes.

Leone (1921-1989) is here at the peak of his epic powers.

Sergio Leone's Western is his undisputed masterpiece, a lush, sensuous, elegiac operatic film made on epic yet intimate scale.

[Sergio] Leone creates a horseback epic of bad guys with a heart of gold and an iron engine that reshapes the landscape as its tracks are laid through the wilderness.

If only the first 10 minutes of Sergio Leone's Once Upon a Time in the West still existed, this most hyperbolic of oat operas would still be acknowledged as one of the genre's greatest exhumations.

Once Upon a Time in the West is the mythic Western; an ode to the end of its era.

There is something touching and maniacal about the two-and-three-quarter- hour result.

Leone shows his skills with superb mastery over the medium.
