Once Upon a Time in America (1984) Sergio Leone, the Italian director famed for his “Spaghetti Westerns”, took on a different – but no less compelling – era of American history in this movie. Its four-hour running time spans 35 years, from the Prohibition era to the 1960s, with Robert De Niro playing a Jewish gangster returning to his old Brooklyn neighbourhood. But this isn’t merely a superior crime movie – it transcends the genre to become a timeless story, non-chronologically and masterfully told, of friendship, love and betrayal.
