I am a huge Sergio Leone fan.My personal favorite is Duck You Sucker!(not as stupid as it sounds).I love The Man With No Name Trilogy,especially The Good,The Bad,and The Ugly.Once Upon A Time In the West is also awesome.Henry Fonda as a cool villian.
Sergio was cinema.Watch one of his movies sometimes and pay no attention to the music or any sound.Check out the camera work.The close-ups,the way a character will just step into a shot,the wide open landscapes.Sergio could say more with one close-up than most directors could say in a page of script.You can see the dirt in every crease of the characters faces.
The cuts are always exciting.A good example is the three way shootout in GBU.Cut to the eyes,then to the hands,then to the guns,etc.etc.
A legend.

Very good movie and it launched Kevin Costner's career after being totally cut out of "The Big Chill".
I love it as he backs out of the saloon door (on a corner)and gets the bad guys, one on each side of the building.

And I think it was on the mouth too, unlike Jayne.
