Sergio Leone is one of my all time favorite directors. He only made a few movies, but his influence is still felt throughout the popular culture.
That said, I am not a big fan of
Once upon a time in America which I found overly drawn out. I much preferred
Once upon a time in the West and my personal favorite
For a Few Dollars more which struck the right balance between crisp story telling and the Leone style.
Incidentally, much of
Inglorious Basterds is structured as a spaghetti western, with much of the first chapter being a obvious homage to
Once Upon a Time in the West. The first chapter of IG is even called
Once Upon a Time in Nazi occupied France.
