One of my top 5 films ever. Seen it a few times now and still not made my mind up on the dream/reality argument. I am about 99% certain that he *doesn't* kill himself tho...

I much prefer Once Upon a Time in the West and The Good the Bad and the Ugly.

I have another theory that you can discuss.

When Noodles forces himself on (forget her name) in the limo it wasnt part of the script and De Niro was just horny. Since hes such a great actor the director went with it and it worked. Thoughts?

Once Upon a Time in the West is probably my favorite movie. I really appreciate and like Once Upon a Time in America though. I don't think it was an easy movie to pull off so magnificently.

Debrah I think it was. That's something I did not know, and is kind of unreal since I feel that the rape scenes are so important to the movie. Even if they are controversial. I've heard that some other odd things went on during film, like I read that in the last scene with Woods and Dinero, Woods was wearing high heels while he acted out the scene to win a bet he made with Dinero.

Def. one of the best movies ever. You should definitly watch the dvd commentary once you have it. Pretty interesting (I believe it was J.Woods who commented)

Its also pretty crazy that the movie was butchered when it was released (they cut half the movie out and they played it synchronicly!)
