Two of Sergio Leone's most epic westerns. But which one is the best? I can't decide.

My personal choice is ** Once Upon a Time In the West*. The opening shoot-out scene, the haunting harmonica tune, " _How can you trust a man who wears both a belt and suspenders? _", "The Man Can't Even Trust His Own Pants!*", the revenge mystery and the final reveal.
As good as The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is with the character arc as played and infused with pure Clint Eastwood Once Upon a Time In The West just shines with so many minor moments that are raised to such epic importance.

And Henry Fonda is such a badass.

"The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" is a treasure hunt. "Once Upon A Time In The West" is about the founding of a town. Pitting Charles Bronson and Henry Fonda, two about-to-be-relics-of-the-past is Epic.
