I think 3D would spoil this times film that has so much buauty about it. The best movie of all time without question for me.

I saw it on a huge screen in Chicago in 1984 and I was completely amazed! I saw it three or four times because I knew I would never be able to see it on the big screen again in my life. Well, all these years later, it looks like I\’ll have the chance with more of Leone\’s footage. Yes, I would prefer to see the 6 hour version, but that will never happen because Sergio didn\’t get chance to put that together. The new version was a cut that Sergio actually created himself for release, then IT was cut down to the version we know today. So, I CAN HARDLY WAIT! -guy

Too bad this movie never got the love and critical respect that \”Godfather I & II \” received. Also, I stil remember seeing a young Jennifer Connelly in this splendid film.

This movie has got to be the fastest 4 hour movie ever made. I was so stunned the first time I saw it that I watched it twice in one weekend. It is an absolute masterpiece.

Nevertheless, despite its tremendous length, it has some real story gaps. You can tell that things are missing at a couple points around the 2/3 mark–scenes just feel sort of disconnected. I knew the first cut had originally been like 6 hours long, and I always wanted to see what had been cut, but I figured this would never happen.

Man, if somehow this could come out next year, and Bogdanovich and Co. could release Welles\’s Other Side of the Wind, I\’d be ready for the rapture.

It should be remade with Johnny Depp, Downey Jr and Scarlett Johansson.
