Favorite spaghetti westerns

[Phantom Stranger]

This what I watched last Friday night.A night of perfect western action:

"Fistful Of Dollars"
"For A Few Dollars More"
"The Good, The Bad and The Ugly"
                                        -Clint Eastwood (well. duh)

Sergio Leones classic trilogy about a mysterious "Man With No Name" and the adventures he gets in to.

Phantom"s Review: Well there's really nothing that I can say, that hasn't already been said about these films. There great. There classics. There the best of the "Spaghetti Western" genre. 'nuff said.

exactly, The Dollars films has some of the best stuff when It comes to spaghetti westerns, such as the Mexico location, bandidos, lots of action/shootings/killings, and the Man with No Name has to be one of the coolest Western characters ever

I'm a big fan of Ricardo Blasco's Gunfight at Red Sands from 1963, and, of course, the original Django (1966) directed by Sergio Corbucci.

Oh, if there was only more time in the day and no need for "real-world-jobs" . . . I'd sit at home and watch movies all day.  I REALLY enjoy spaghtetti Westerns (at least, what I've seen), and wish I had more time/could make more time to REALLY explore this subgenre.

I know John Wayne filmed some of his later westerns in Mexico, and the "Maginficent Seven" was filmed there; however, I believe the trilogy was filmed in Italy, which is why it was derisivly called a "Spaghetti" western.  By the way, those filmed in Germany, were called "Saurkraut" Westerns.

You'd need plenty of time.
There are about 600 Spaghetti Westerns.

And the term, Spaghetti Western is more descriptive of the producers, directors, and cast of the movies that any filming locations.
In the beginning the term was derogatory, however. become accepted as descriptive. In Italy they are called western all'italiana (Italian-Style Western).

These movies were originally released in dubbed Italian. The typical Spaghetti Western production had an Italian director; Italian and Spanish crew;  and a cast of Italian, Spanish, German and American actors.

A Fistful of Dollars was shot primarily in Spain, with some filming in Italy.
For a Few Dollars More shot entirely in Spain (except for some interior studio work done in Italy).
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly  Filmed mostly In Spain, studio work in Rome, and some scenes shot in Mexico.
Once Upon a Time in the West was filmed in Arizona, Utah, and Spain, with studio production in Rome.

One of the most popular locations was the desert in Andalucia, Spain. The town of Tabernas has a pretty active movie ranch that rivals Old Tucson.
Check it out:  Texas, Mexico, Arabia, Australia, and Cimmeria all rolled into one . . .

I had no idea that any of "Once Upon a Time in the west" filmed in the US, so why not?  If parts of Europe could pass for the American West, then I imagine that the American West could as well.
