This totally gets my vote. It's been "on the list" for ages. A professor used a clip from this film (the clip available at imdb) to teach about aspect ratio and presentation. If you watch that sequence in the proper super-super wide aspect, you get it. If you watch it on pan and scan... you don't even realize there are four people in the shot... and it's even funnier because of the lines exchanged about the number of horses. Anyway - yes please for Once Upon a Time in the West. This gives me the kick in the butt I've needed for years. I've not historically been a fan of westerns. I hadn't seen many as a kid that I liked. I've seen a few of the more modern ones... and now I'm old and grumpy... and they appeal to me more.
