And that's the long one....and the original version!? Or not?? Who knows if Leone even did any of the cutting for the US version? Unfortunately, what killed the "restored" version for me was the newly performed dubbing of the scenes which had been cut for the US release - it just didn't fit in with the rest....or is it just that I, like you, saw the US version so many times, it's extremely difficult to experience the changes??

Though I suppose originally Copolla wanted the Redux version, he really did make a better film, in my opinion, without the added footage.

Its also not specific enough to be anything other than confusing. Great movie about 'america' or a great movie by an american citizen? Either way film study has moved on from schoolboy (or girl) lists of best and worst? Hasn't it?
