Dir: Sergio Leone
Genre: Western
Year: 1966

SephG Superlative: The greatest western ever made

Sergio Leone. Clint Eastwood. Ennio Morricone. It doesn't get better than this triumvirate when it comes to spaghetti westerns. I am sure the more hardcore fans might point to a different film or something else in the Dollars Trilogy as the best one, but for me, nothing comes close to the film synonymous with this genre.

Two things stand out for me as to why this is the best western I've ever seen. And they are obvious: the score and the ending. These two elements work hand-in-hand to deliver one of the most satisfying climaxes to any movie ever. Just watching the graveyard scene by itself can get me hyped for anything, and to this day it remains what I picture when I think of this era of filmmaking. Absolutely magnificent.
