am i the only one who love spaghetti westerns

[gordytheghoul]

I love spaghetti westerns almost as much as Italian horror. Some people don't know that Lucio Fulci directed some, and Dario Argento wrote a few. These movies are often mean, dirty, and graphicly violent. It's not all Clint Eastwood, there are plenty of others, Franco Nero, I think is way cooler than Eastwood. Plus the always watchable Klaus Kinski can be found in a bunch of them.

My favorites are:
ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST (co-written by Argento)
DJANGO
...AND GOD SAID TO CAIN
DJANGO KILL
THE FOUR OF THE APOCALYPSE (directed by Fulci)

Even if you don't like most westerns, I know I don't, these ones could surprise you. Like Italian horror, if your blood lust can't be managed by the mainstream, these things could be for you.

OUATIT West is one of the greatest movies I've ever seen. The whole Dollars trilogy, too, is superb

[IDrinkYourBlood]

Django kicks ass.

Italian feast fan here, I've not got many on DVD, but have seen quite a few on the Tv and vhs. This reminds me, I must watch Time in The West again, I got it on DVD ages ago and it's on the shelf, but I'd forgoten about it till now.

Hmmm... Well westerns aren't really my genre of choice, but I have seen some really good ones over the years. (Not sure what the criteria is for them to be considered 'spaghetti' so I'll just list all the westerns I've liked.)

Tombstone (One of my favorite movies ever! Val Kilmer should have gotten an Oscar for this one.)
Young Guns
Young Guns 2 (Not as good as 1, but still very cool.)
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Fistful of Dollars
For a Few Dollars More
Maverick (Okay, not exactly a western but it sort of fits.)
Blazing Saddles ( " " " " " " ")

[slasherman]

I like some of them but its a lot of bad ones too :(

[newb]

I'm a fan.






and NOBODY is cooler than Clint.

Time in Mexico isn't intended to come across as a western, it's not comparable to the classics, rather an action adventure, with some crime thrown in. Rodriguez pulled it off quite well, it was a good film.

I didn't even bother with Once Upon a Time in Mexico because I thought Desperado sucked so bad.

i was a bit disappointed the 1st time i saw it, i loved it the second time.

i'm still betting money that the depp character will be spun off into a blind gunfighter movie of his own ..

I don't think THE MANGLER is such a bad movie, it's just not a good one. Still I admire those who want to take a stand a praise a movie that gets dumped.

[IDrinkYourBlood]

[feral cat]

Love Italian westerns, nobody mentioned "A man called Blade" thats a great movie ... :cool:

[urgeok]

so the bottom line, in answer to the origional post ... is that we all live spagetti westerns .. there you go ..

[gordytheghoul]

I'm not a hyprocrite, just a guy who sometimes sticks his foot in his mouth deep enough to chock himself to death. Still, I started this thread, so damn it, I want my opions heard, so I dumped on TRINITY, I didn't say that I didn't admire the guy for admitting to liking them. :)

Well, like them or not, they still were some of the most successful entries in the genre, and made Terence Hill an international star. I liked them too. Good no-brainer entertainment. Hill did get directed by Leone, too, in a roundabout way. Leone directed a scene in a lavatory in My Name is Nobody.
