Once Upon a Time in the West 1968
So many superlatives packed into this classic that I find something new to appreciate with every one of my viewings:

I did not know this would end on a cliffhanger, I would've kept the "Part I" in the title as it was originally.

Not the last impression you want to leave an audience with in what was otherwise a joyous experience.
What a reversal, from Kevin Feige e-mailing…
