Which western movie is better?
Once Upon a Time in the West

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

A very difficult choice to make as both are really good classics, but I'm going for Once Upon a Time in the West.

Once Upon a Time in the West

MechaGodzilla · 06-01-2014, 12:34 PM

Very difficult choice indeed, both are masterpieces. I have to give it to Once Upon a Time in the West though, it blew me away just a teeny bit more. But The Good, the Bad and the Ugly shouldn't be sad, it's still the second best western ever made.

SummerParadise · 06-01-2014, 12:36 PM

Yes. For me it´s also 50% and 50%
I still vote for The Good, the Bad and the Ugly because finale duel was more epic

The Good The Bad and The Ugly for me. I find Once Upon a Time in the West to have major tone issues, granted it's one of the best opening scenes I've ever seen.

Once Upon a Time in the West. Leone's masterpiece and the best western ever as far as I'm concerned

Once Upon A Time In The West - Excellent story, excellent acting, and excellent directing.

As much as I enjoy The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, there is really no contest for me.

stvn1974 · 06-01-2014, 06:56 PM

Tough choice but I will have to give the edge to GBU based on the soundtrack.

BladeRunner2007 · 06-01-2014, 07:27 PM

Both are perfect. But I think I slighty prefer WEST, only because I really dig revenge stories.

bootsy · 06-01-2014, 08:32 PM

Touch choice here but OUTITW is so good because of so many good performances and like BladeRunner2007 said: that revenge. Going with that but it's very close.

gbu

Elvis · 06-09-2014, 02:16 AM

Both are so good but I picked GBU just by a hair.

Todd Tomorrow · 06-09-2014, 03:54 PM

Love both, but I prefer West for its operatic tone and for being the rare Spaghetti western to feature an important female lead character. It's my favourite western ever.

BaerGriggs · 06-09-2014, 04:05 PM

Once Upon a Time in the West, but only by a slim margin. Personally I think it's difficult to compare the two because the tone is different but they're both masterpieces.

Clint for the win!

When I first read the poll I thought it was A Million Ways to Die in the West vs. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly...

The actual poll makes much more sense.

very tough, but I'd say Once Upon a Time in the West

SixSpeedSamurai · 07-30-2014, 05:15 PM

That's a tough one, I think Good has a better flow to it whereas West has some slow spots. The opening train stop scene in West is one of my favorites. I also think the soundtrack to West is brilliant. Not that Good is bad, but it's not over all as good outside of the main theme.

Bronson does just as much acting with his eyes than Eastwood does through the whole move.
