The best movie ever made...

[noodles_leone]

Nope, not for me.
OUTW is slightly more fun to watch than GBU, and OUTW and GBU are more fun to watch than the other Leones, cause they are better. Maybe they are better cause they are more fun. Whatever ...

Ohh, and 2001 is much more fun to watch than Star Wars. Just to give another extreme example how things work for me.

That’s a lot of implausible stuff, lol.

I started a list once detailing where pure serendipity helped in GBU.  Above, for sure.  Stevens blurting out information about the hidden gold when Angel Eyes knew nothing about that.  The carriage in the dessert at the perfect time.  Tuco and Blondie being so close to Mission San Antonio.  Tuco and Blondie ending up in prison camp where Angel Eyes was.  Angel Eyes overhearing that Wallace had called out "Bill Carson".  Tuco who knew so much about guns (shop scene) couldn't get Wallace's pistol to work.  Tuco finding his way to the town where Blondie and Angel Eyes were.  Others as well....

Some of those aren't, If you saw the geography of GBU it would make sense that they are where they are, there is a whole timeline thread that explains all of it. For instance Wallace's revolver was damaged in the fall from the train the frame bent and the cylinder wouldn't turn, that's a far cry from saying he can't make it work.

Not really.
When 2001 is for me more entertaining than Star Bores, and it definitely is, than it makes a lot of sense. 2001 is for me light entertainment, I can watch it every day, while I suffer imagining to watch Star Wars or even worse the Lord of the Rings films. Which are many people's idea of light entertainment, but surely not mine.

Actually there'a a lot of very deep sense behind these simple perceptions.

I agree with exactly 50% of your statement 

What's your beef with Leone?

You make almost as little sense as Drink.

And more trivia: Simonetta Santaniello is best known for being Michael's Italian wife in Godfather; she got blown up in the car explosion.

I think this may be a mistake; Godfather actress was Simonetta Stefanelli  https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0824940/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cl_t53

But both are listed as Maureen McBain here (but uncredited)  https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0064116/fullcredits?ref_=tt_ov_st_sm
