For a Few Dollars More (1965)

 

Directed by Sergio Leone. Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef. My father is watching this downstairs now on Tubi, after running out of old LSU games on VHS. I have Tubi playing in the TV room upstairs as well. I also have this special edition box set DVD. I've got that whole Leone DVD set and it is excellent with some really good commentaries. Second Leone/Eastwood spaghetti western and some like this one best. It's a good one.

The Ruthless Four (1968)

 

Directed by Giorgio Capitani. Spaghetti western. Van Heflin. Klaus Kinski. Italian Treasure of the Sierra Madre. You have to be careful with these Youtube versions. Hopefully some of these for the next two movies coming up will be passable.

Matalo! (1970)

 

Directed by Cesare Canevari. This is a weird one. Acid spaghetti western. I'm watching an Italian version in HD on Youtube because the English ones are crap. Almost no dialogue anyway. Rock score.

Django Kill... If You Live, Shoot! (1967)

 

Directed by Giulio Questi. Tomas Milan. One of the first gay spaghetti westerns. One of the most bizarre movies I've ever seen. The first time I watched it it blew my mind. It is shot like a gothic horror movie with gothic horror sets. Controversial for a couple of scenes of extreme violence, a man shot with golden bullets is torn apart by villagers for the gold. Has nothing to do with the Django series. Not only one of my favorite spaghetti westerns, but one of my favorite movies, period. It is seriously strange. Found on Youtube (the first time I saw it was a beauty HD version on Youtube that was deleted, I can't vouch for the one I'm about to watch yet.)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Django_Kill..._If_You_Live,_Shoot!

Django Kill...If You LIve, Shoot! was described by film historian Howard Hughes as "difficult to pigeonhole", noting it encompassed the Western, horror film, and splatter film genres, describing it as "the weirdest Italian made Western". It is well known for the surrealistic violence and for the psychedelic editing of Franco "Kim" Arcalli. Phil Hardy defines it as "the most brutally violent spaghetti western ever made". Describing the film, Christopher Frayling says that "the violence was of an extraordinarily savage kind". Antonio Bruschini writes that "this film is the first western to offer a sample of truly horrendous scenes". Marco Giusti defines the film as the most violent and bizarre ever filmed in Italy. It has also been characterized as an Acid Western.

Tepepa (1969)

 

Orson Welles spaghetti western. Another title from Alex Cox. This was one of the better ones I watched when I was first looking for spaghettis. Also acclaimed. Welles behaved less than admirably on set, allegedly. Found on Youtube.
