Once Upon a Time in the West IS fantastic. Absolutely amazing action film. They don't make movies like that anymore. Or if they do, it's like once a decade. It's more like an opera with how well the music blends into everything. You can see in many shots how the composition has been planned with the music in mind and then cut properly for ideal emotional impact. And the storytelling, the dialogue. There's nothing extra. Everything fits.

Love @Letterman since 1981. From his Weather days a co-worker told me about, and guest hosting too. I'd get off my CNA job at 11, get home and settled and Letterman was on. Best way to wind down after work! Loved every minute of every year I've been able to watch you! Sidenote: Just Curious... Has @StephenAtHome ever acknowledged that his Questionert is basically (a copy/homage to/or rip-off of) James Lipton's (Inside the Actor's Studio) questions. "Most of the shows was a one-on-one interview conducted by the host James Lipton in the 22 seasons. It`s followed by the host submitting a questionnaire to the guest. The questionnaire concept aired on Actors Studio was originated by the French television personality Bernard Pivot on his show Apostrophes, (1975-1986) the Proust Questionnaire." PS If you've never watched them - do a search - great stuff. Glad that something similar is being carried on. Stephen should ask ALL of his guests, like Lipton did. It's good value!
