This event is free and open to the public.

Directed by Sergio Leone, 1967
R; 180 minutes
“Art it is, summoned out of the imagination of [Sergio] Leone and painted on the wide screen so vividly that we forget what marginal productions these films were.” — Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Directed by David Miller, 1962
PG; 107 minutes
“The performances are strong. [Walter] Matthau and Gena Rowlands are particularly memorable. But it is Douglas' film. He is a great screen actor, and exerts his presence and believability in the role of the man who wants to keep his soul free.” — George Perry, BBC.com
Directed by Sergio Leone, 1965
R; 132 minutes
“A hard-hitting western with upper-case values out of the busy Italo stable, this is a topnotch action entry.” —Variety
Directed by Sergio Leone, 1964
R; 96 minutes
“Once in a great while a western comes along that breaks new ground and becomes a classic of the genre." —TIME Magazine
Directed by Robert Rodriguez, 1992
R; Spanish with English subtitles; 82 minutes
“[Robert] Rodriguez goes for broke with a breakneck pace, swarms of bullets, cinematic tricks, and a tone as playful as it is knowing of genre conventions. The director's light touch is all his own; and this unpretentious offering delivers in all departments.” —Geoff Andrew, Time Out
