Once Upon a Time in the West, on the other hand is visual (and sonic) poetry.

I actually prefer Once Upon a Time in America - though I think both are at the top of their respective genre's. They are very different movies - West is all atmosphere and mood, while America is story driven (not that the former doesn't have a good story and the latter have lots of mood and atmosphere).
Certainly a BRP western game I run would be modelled after the Sergio Leone films as well as Unforgiven - probably somewhere in the middle.
