In 1984, one of the greatest films of all time was released, though it received little recognition from The Academy or the Palme d'Or. Sergio Leone's Once Upon a Time in America is an epic masterpiece, perfectly suited for today's audience, who increasingly appreciate long-form storytelling. For any true film buff, this cinematic gem deserves to be at the very top of your must-watch list.
