   I can't argue with anyone's choices on this poll...they are all superb.  
I have voted for The West, because it is probably the closest to moviemaking perfection he ever came to, although I absolutely LOVE Good, Bad, Ugly...and I have a large framed movie poster of America on my wall.
I also think that Fistful of Dynamite is severely underrated...nuff said.

	Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

	I went with OUATIA. As brilliant as his spagetti westerns were, they were still a genre you just can't take too seriously. OUATIA was labor of love for Sergio. Has anybody seen the Italian tv version of this? About 6 hours wasn't it?

	"Once Upon a Time In the West", but I like the dollar trilogy too

	For me it's "Once Upon a Time in the West", an easy choice although all his "major" films are superb. It is simply the most poetical movie I have ever seen and one of my all time favourites. Leone was a truly unique director. edit: My 2nd choice would be "Once Upon a Time in America". Edited by geezer

	One of Quentin Tarentino's biggest influences. This man created a whole new genre himself, the Spagetti Western. Sylish, violent and very mesmorizing, you just never tire of watching them. Sadly his final opus was trashed by American distributors and never got its just due. I know he did some minor films earlier. I just kept this poll to his major releases. Edited by marktheshark
