Once Upon A Time In The West (1968)

As much as people praising this movie as the greatest Western ever made, I have to admit that most of it was lost on me. I have little or no idea who was who in the movie. I don't know which characters knew each other beforehand or what their current relationships are. People meet for the first time and suddenly have grudges spanning back ten years because some character did something to someone I don't know about. 

For the most part, I was lost between sparse dialogue, way-drawn-out scenes where people take five minutes to walk down a bar.
