- 'The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly' (1966) What could beat a perfect Western and a perfect crime epic for the #1 spot in Sergio Leone's filmography? His seminal film, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.
- 'Once Upon a Time in America' (1984) With his final movie, Sergio Leone moved away from the Western genre, which he'd explored throughout his previous five films.
- 'Once Upon a Time in the West' (1968) Easily one of the greatest Italian movies of all time, Once Upon a Time in the West is essentially impossible to fault.
- 'Duck, You Sucker' (1971) Duck, You Sucker was Sergio Leone's penultimate movie, ultimately becoming his final Western. It stands out for having a darker and sadder tone than any Western he'd previously made, though this story about two men unexpectedly getting swept up in the 1913 Mexican Revolution isn't without hints of dark humor here and there.
