I forgot to mention it has one of the most controversial endings in movie history.There's a whole story behind it that deals w/ the fact that the movie has different edits and some edits are bad.
The real version has a proper ending where you know what happens.Answering your question isn't really a spoiler, because no it wasn't dream
It also has the off time sequences like Pulp Fiction,Momento, etc
I became obsessed w/ it a few yrs back and have thought of it as just as good as The Godfather ever since -
It was a good movie, but it was so ? long. Only movie I can think of off the top of my head that is longer is Ben Hur.
-
only mafia movie i can think of i didnt watch by the age of 17/18 and thats only cause its so long. its still on my list though

Apocalypse Now is practically paced like a Michael Bay action flick compared to Once Upon A Time in America tho lol
btw, they're debuting the newly restored ORIGINAL DIRECTOR'S CUT at Cannes this year - 4 hours, 29 minutes lol yikes

It's the goat gangster movie, period. ? if it lasts almost 4 hours. It's epic. I could watch this movie thousand times and can't get tired of it. It has this strange surreal feel and is free to interpretation. Truly unique and genius work.

c/s medallion too long.......the story just didnt hold my attention....i remember the video store clerk was like its on the same level as godfather when I bought it on vhs back in the day.....the story just didnt hold my attention I had to fast forward to the end.
-
man, this was the longest movie ever, but I watched every minute of it.
great flick, I need to own this joint -
classic, why do ? sleep on this???
the music was great too
you dont have to watch in all in one sitting. i like to watch it in chapters like a book -

Nah, nah, 4 hour 29 min IS the original version Sergio wanted and premiered at Cannes. Then he edited it down for distribution to 3 hours, 49 minutes, the version we've all seen. But that still wasn't good enough apparently because stupid Hollywood execs butchered it down to like 2 hours and the man hated it so much he basically quit films and died heartbroken. (SMH) -
This movie is an underrated, underappreciated epic classic. A coming of age Jewish gangster movie w/ Robert Deniro...if you're gonna complain about the length of a movie, then you really don't appreciate a good movie. How could this movie not keep ones attention? Sex, Violence, Betrayal.....and ? .
I've seen this movie so many times.
