Once Upon a Time in America/YMMV


 * Adaptation Displacement: Many don't even realize that Harry Grey's book exists.
 * Award Snub: Ennio Morricone's score was not nominated for an Oscar thanks to an error on the submission form.
 * Crowning Moment of Funny: For what is otherwise heavy-going material, there are a couple; namely Max's purchase of an elaborate chair that was a gift to a Pope.
 * And according to the commentary it may even be a self-deprecating joke, as Leone was an avid furniture collector.
 * Crowning Moment of Heartwarming:
 * Crowning Music of Awesome: Naturally, as it has a soundtrack by Ennio Morricone. Not only that, but Sergio Leone considered the film's soundtrack the best work that Morricone had ever done for him. Just think about that for a second.
 * Moral Event Horizon:
 * Tear Jerker: Poor Little Dominic. The music makes it even worse when it... happens.
 * Vindicated by History: A longer Director's Cut was made available, and was hailed as a better version.
