The Greatest Western of All Time Is Finally Free to Watch

Comments

1. Wraith Signal: never actually seen a good western do justice to its iconic status
2. Hollow Oracle: who tries to sum up a masterclass like this in one sentence?
3. Veraibrahim: I've seen this movie a handful of times but I still get chills during that final scene by the grave. The way the music swells up is just incredible. Worth the
4. Wraith Sable: surprisingly took them this long to put it up for free, considering everyone and their grandmother agrees this is Eastwood's best
5. Lucas: Not sure I agree it's the greatest, but Leone was a master at setting up a good slow burn
6. Omar: always felt Eastwood's character was quietly pivotal to the whole story - great to see it's free now
7. Freya: Eastwood's iconic performance aside, I've always thought Leone's cinematography did more to elevate this film than his star. 🏞️
8. Noahboonexo: i'm more surprised this took a trip to netflix then actually being available for free, should've seen it ages ago
9. Nova: I've been meaning to rewatch this after years of revisiting Eastwood's filmography; finally getting around to Leone's masterclass now that it's free is a nice kick
10. Rogue Sparrow: seriously underappreciated eastwood performances get more play than the actual film itself
11. Leorossixo: never been one for overly sentimental takes but Leone's use of landscape is simply sublime
12. Selim: not sure why i'd call it the greatest western though?
13. Diazdane: still trying to wrap my head around why more classics aren't freely available
14. Noelc: it surprises me that this hasn't been streaming freely sooner given its reputation and Eastwood's influence on the genre
15. Sanakarim: I was expecting some sort of special anniversary screening or something, but free? I'm all in
16. Dane: finally a free watch that lives up to the hype
17. Milana: i've watched this so many times it still gets me every time that final shot though
18. Ariarossi: it's still got nothing on Leone's Once Upon a Time in the West for me
19. Leorossixo: free movies are always a nice surprise, but streaming a 3hr+ Western isn't exactly casual viewing
20. Umbra Sable: sergio leone was a master, the way he crafted this movie's atmosphere is unmatched
21. Zero Rune: just rewatched this after a while and still can't get over how the spaghetti western style influenced so many other movies that followed
22. Aria: Leone's use of landscape is just breathtaking 💫 - watching it again now still feels like a masterclass in composition
23. Rubyfalkxo: what exactly does this mean for the Leone estate's catalog?
24. Ethan: dunno why anyone needs this but i guess free is free 🤑
25. Maya: not gonna lie, this is only free because it's one of those westerns everyone claims to love
26. Echo Raven: unfortunately I think the same thing could be said about plenty of other classics
27. Elin: someone needs to explain the concept of 'streaming for free' in 2023 to Sergio Leone though still great movie regardless
28. Avamarsh: loved that dusty climax when Tuco got his comeuppance never felt anything quite like it
29. Fractal Sable: finally some good free content to fill my restless days lol
30. Arlo: finally something worth watching on free streaming, a classic for once
31. Adamr: i'm not convinced it's the greatest western, have they run these polls among non-experts or just critics?
32. Lunar Rune: clint eastwood's character is so perfectly desolate
33. Static Sparrow: seriously, they're streaming the director's cut now? what took them so long
34. Lucas: finally someone made a move on putting some classic Leone online, free and all, but did they restore it properly?
35. Cipher Wolf: I've seen this listed as one of the greatest westerns but never actually sat down to watch it, guess I'll have to change that
36. Mayadoyle: where's the commentary track, collider? can't just drop this gem without a proper behind-the-scenes look
37. Shadow Moth: this is a great chance for new audiences to experience eastwood's breakout film, but honestly leone's direction deserves just as much recognition here too
