The Top Ten Reasons Why Sergio Leone Is Better Than Quentin Tarantino

[Leone Admirer]

ok thanks for the clarification, I'll have to watch the doco again soon.

I saw the entire Once Upon a Time: Sergio leone documentary and not the cut version on the OUATIA DVD. Tarantino comments: " OUATITW I loved so much watching it on tv as a kid. It's like how to make a movie, well a sergio leone movie that is. " So to answer LA's question a while back Tarantino does like OUATITW. As for DYS, I never heard him say anything about that.

Whether he has seen DYS or not is something to ask him personally. Too bad that is a bit improbable

As I said to Noodles_Leone, I have it taped so if you want I could burn it to DVD for you.

  With all the movies he's seen and since he's so knowlegdable about the history of movies/film, I'd put money on Tarantino having seen DYS.

  It's from a genre he obviously likes and a director in Leone he admires.  Now, I have no tangible proof, but I bet he's seen Duck You Sucker at some point in his life.

but it is apparent he doesnt like it much. If at all.

  What makes you say he doesn't like it, Firecracker? Just because he hasn't directly referenced it in one of his own movies, or something else?

The fact that he has never mentioned it. He seems anamored with Leone's other films but he never mentions "Giu La Testa".

  IMO, that doesn't mean he isn't a fan of it.  It just means he hasn't mentioned it in interviews.

well I just found it weird that in this particular interview he stated all of Leone's films(after Colosuss of Rhodes) and commented on all of them but left "Giu La Testa" out for whatever reason.
