My admiration for Leone is growing lately (having just seen Duck You Suckers). I vote for Once Upon a Time....

Agreed 100%. Though I like it for other, more simplisitc reasons, Browning's Dracula just may be the most shipwrecked adaptation of a novel to ever hit the silver screen. It's not only an abandonment, its a deformity. And, because Dracula happens to be my favorite book, I just can't get past the down-grade.

However, none of that really matters because Once Upon a Time in the West wouldn't lose to much in my mind.

Leone for meone.
