    Thanks Winston

    Yes, I remember that part in the train depot. On the DVD commentary in that movie, somebody said that Sergio Leone wanted The Good, Bad and The Ugly main cast (Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef, Eli Wallach) to appear in train depot as the three men waiting by train station, and be shot down by Bronson.

    I am glad those guys did not agree or their career would have gone down drain after that. I don’t know how true that story is, but it was bizarre.

    Agreed....

    His best role for me was ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST, although the film THE GREAT ESCAPE is a phenomenal film, his role was minor.

    In fact 1968 is my all-time favorite year for films, they include:

    2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY
    THE PLANET OF THE APES
    ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST
    ROSEMARY'S BABY
    THE LION IN WINTER
    DANGER DIABOLIK
    ICE STATION ZEBRA
    NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD

    That was a very good year

    The only problem I have with One Upon A Time... is that after a while, the excessive close up shots become too annoying. There is such as thing as being too redundant.
