Sergio Leone sure knew how to turn out epic masterpieces. This falls onto my all time top ten movies at no.7. Robert De Niro's performance along with James Woods were electric and some of their best, to date. The score, provided by Ennio Morricone brings such ambience and atmosphere to an already great film. There have been many versions of this film with different endings, it's up to you which one you prefer. I'm still in search of an uncut version; at nearly five hours; but these are as scarce as hobbie horse's droppings, maybe this is an urban myth though.

This was a truly great film. It's hard to understand why, with an original running time of 3 hours and 49 min in Europe, it was cut by 90 minutes when it was released to the US.
