Two great movies that taste great together. Which one is the greatest and why?

Eastwood.

There was a time that I would have said TGTBATU without hesitation, but Once Upon a Time is really growing on me.

Once Upon a Time has a lot more ambiguity. Even Henry Fonda, one of the most evil characters ever to appear in a Western, has some depth. Jason Robards is amazing, and Charles Bronson (in the role originally written for Clint Eastwood) is pretty good, too.

...oh, and it's Once Upon a Time in the West. I fixed your poll.

I voted GBU, but now that I actually think about, it is a tough call. I think for me, I like GBU better bacause of it being based on Yojimbo. But it goes without saying that OUATITW is an amazing movie as well.

I would say if I had to choose a single actor, Eastwood wins. But pitting the casts of each against each other, they're nearly equal in my opinion.

My favorite quote from my favorite western:
Harmonica: I saw three of these dusters a short time ago, they were waiting for a train. Inside the dusters, there were three men.

Cheyenne: So?

Harmonica: Inside the men, there were three bullets.

Once Upon a Time.

Honestly, I think I need to see both again to say for sure, but I think Once Upon A Time, like sleeve said, has more depth and rich characters. And it has some pretty bad ass moments.

As for GBU, I honestly like For A Few Dollars More than the third one. It's a great movie too, but something about doesn't really stick with me.

But again, I need to see both again to say definitively.

GBU is not based on Yojimbo. You're thinking of A Fistful of Dollars.

Yes!

I love that opening sequence, too.
