The allure of cinema,with its stylish men in tuxedos and thrilling gangsters.This film is cinematic gem that transcends any words of praise
My all time favorite gangster movie. This four hour epic flies by die to its gripping story over a rough period in American history.
I watched the near four hour version, and from what I'm told, that is the one to watch. That phone ringing at the start though....
Gorgeous score, gripping plot, drags on a bit towards the end. Still a definite worthwhile watch
definitely a masterpiece. The cinematography, atmosphere and acting are very successful.
where do i even start? OUATIA shows us the life of the unprivileged surviving in a cruel world. makes you look around, doesnt it?
Sergio Leone’s last and greatest picture, an epic deconstruction of the American mobster flick.
You’ll have to draw conclusions, and that’s my favorite part about it.
Amazing cast, amazing director, simply a masterpiece.
Despite a daunting 4-hour runtime, Sergio Leone’s farewell to filmmaking is epic in every sense of the word. Arguably his best.
