i think it is

Sitting right beside For A Few Dollars More on the podium of #1

no, best western yes

It ranks 4th in IMDb top 250.... (http://www.imdb.com/chart/top)

Best movie ever? You bet it is!

I don't know if it' the ultimate movie ever made. But i think is the best western ever made for sure with once upon a time in the west.

yes it is..definitly

Basically anything with Clint is damn fine. But this is the damn finest of the damn fine.

agree with daniel, best western, but not best movie.

To me its the 2nd best movie of all time after Godfather

What makes it popular to that extent is that it's a nice mixture of action, adventure, comedy, and, also contains deep feelings specially the relation between Tuco and his brother..

my No.1 film ever!!

its tied for number one with a lot of clints other movies.

I am a huge western fan so for me it is the ultimate western, and my personal ultimate all-time movie. Clint's other two spaghetti westerns run it close though, with A Fistful Of Dollars and For A Few Dollars More being there or thereabouts. Between them they are definitely my 1,2,3!

El bueno el feo y el malo número 1!

Yup, I think it's the best movie ever. Although it's hard to decide because the other spaghetti westerns by Leone are great too.

best directed film ever

It isn't the best movie ever, that would be the Godfather. Along with Once Upon a Time in the West it's the best western ever and firmly in the top ten of best movies ever.

Yeah definitely in the top 10 and definitely the best western but I don't know about best movie of all time, although I have been known to say that it is at times! :)

Yes i is the best movie ever

Meilleur film de tout les temps !

The Scene in the Cementery is the best ever i think, the music soundtrack with Ennio Morricone is the best of all time.....

I think it s the best western and personally the best film ever even better than godfather wich is a great movie too

Not the best film ever, but undoutedly one of the best. Certainly the most technically perfect western ever made.

No movie can ever be called "best movie ever," due to the subjective nature of the medium. you can't judge strictly from a technical standpoint, as there are many movies which come close to technical perfection but simply aren't all that interesting as entertainment. And once you factor entertainment value into the equation, you automatically have an unanswerable question, since how entertaining something is depends as much on the viewer as the product itself. Also, how does popularity factor in to the equation? While an excellently made and popular movie such as this one would easily get more votes of support than something equally well-made yet far less well-known in mainstream circles, such as Fritz Lang's M or Carol Reed's The Third Man, does that really make it a better film?

With that being said, is it the best movie ever? No, no movie can ever claim such a title. But it's definitely one of the films at the forefront of the contest.

it is the best western ever... and it kicks ass... doesn't matter if it's the best or not!!

Once upon a time in the west is awesome as well but I think G.B.U. is hands down the undisputed best western ever ... best film of all time is a tough one; pitching it's likes against the Godfather, Citizen Kane, Schindlers List etc but it is my favourite film.

Did you know that Sergio Leone was offered to be the Director for the first Godfather film but he turned it down for Once upon a time in America.....both amazing films but if Sergio Leone had directed the godfather and hadn't died so young he would probably be recognised as the best director ever...he and Ennio Morricone were such a good team...

This film is pure Art - thanks to Sergio and Ennio !

Exactly right, the team of Leone and Morricone - pure Genius. Entertainment, excitement and art! The best western in my opinion also. John Wayne was suppose to be a western legends, but his movies are boring and slow, the cinematography cannot compare and of course the soundtrack are merely in the background, not integrated into the story. I have all the sountracks and enjoy listening to them, G.B.U, Once Upon a time in the West, For a few dallors more, A fistful of dollars.

Damn right, Clint is damn fine! I especially enjoy the Dirty Harry movies these days, with no computer graphics, no slowmotion bullets and people flying thru the air - they are gritty, realistic and gripping movies! No modern actor/ director has been able to make such good cop movies!

This was always my all time favourite western til i saw once upon a time in the west,now i just cannot decide. As for best film,no but in the top ten.
