What are the differences between spaghetti westerns and classic western films?

Would you say that both genres are very different?

Also why would you say that spaghetti westerns were more transcendental?
Why does spaghetti westerns have so many revisits, would you say it is because of the very easy way to follow the Leone formula are does it has something to do with the type of main characters that were introduced in this genre?
I am doing a comparison of both genres and I wanted help from the best of the best cinema lovers.

A ultimate timeline/watch-list of Western films?

Fully aware that should say 'An' in the title. That's gonna drive me up the wall.

I watched The Wild Bunch recently and started wondering what would be the perfect representation of Westerns, both in quality of film and in the eras they represent. I came up with this list - let me know what ones I've (wrongfully) left out! I'll also note why I included certain films where they are. To avoid spoilers I'll happily explain others in the comments.

Prologue:

  • The Magnificent Seven (1960); Comments.

Wyatt Earp and other Outlaws:

  • Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969)

  • The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007)

  • The Long Riders (1980); Comments.

  • Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid (1973)

  • 3:10 to Yuma ('57 or '07 depending on your preference)

  • My Darling Clementine (1946)

  • Gunfight at the OK Corral (1957)

  • Tombstone (1990)

Ford, Wayne, Cavalries and Marshals:

  • Stagecoach (1939)

  • Fort Apache (1948)

  • She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (1949)

  • Rio Grande (1950)

  • Dances with Wolves (1990); Comments.

  • High Noon (1952)

  • Rio Bravo (1959); Morally good John Wayne

  • Red River (1948); Vengeful John Wayne

  • The Searchers (1956); Morally bad John Wayne

  • Winchester '73 (1950)

  • The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962)

  • True Grit ('69 works best here for the Wayne element, but '10 is also great)

The Bounty Hunters and Eastwood legacy:

  • Django (1966)

  • Django Unchained (2012); Had my doubts about including this one, but I felt the Civil War premise transitions nicely into the film below.

  • The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966)

  • A Fistful of Dollars (1964)

  • For a Few Dollars More (1965)

  • The Outlaw Josey Wales (1971); Vengeful, but morally good Clint.

  • The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948); Comments.

  • Shane (1953)

  • Pale Rider (1985)

  • High Plains Drifter (1973); Vengeful, but morally bad Clint - sets up for the character of William Munny.

  • The Hateful Eight (2015); Comments.

  • The Great Silence (1968); Bookends and contrasts Django.

The Death of the West:

  • Bad Day at Black Rock (1955); Comments.

  • The Cowboys (1972); Comments.

  • Once Upon a Time in the West (1968)

  • The Wild Bunch (1969)

  • The Shootist (1976); Comments.

  • Unforgiven (1992)

Epilogue:

  • How the West Was Won (1962); Comments.

Do you like Spaghetti Westerns outside of the films of Sergio Leone?

I grew up watching the films of Sergio Leone and they hold a very dear place in my heart. Over the course of the last 10 years, though, I have been exploring this sub-genre much more in-depth and I have developed a keen liking for this area of films. They can have their charms and qualities about them, and they're just so fun.

Never do they compare to the quality of 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly' (1966) or 'Once Upon a time in the West' (1968) but there are a few others that I still rate highly such as 'The Great Silence' (1968); which I consider better than 'A Fistful of Dollars' (1964) and 'For a Few Dollars More' (1965), 'The Big Gundown' (1966), 'A Bullet for the General' (1966), 'Django' (1966), and 'Face to Face' (1967). I consider these films at least better than Sergio Leone's 'Duck, you Sucker' (1971). So there is that.

Some others that I like are:

  • Death Rides a Horse (1967)
  • Sabata (1969)
  • Cemetery Without Crosses (1969) [one of the most beautiful films from the genre]
  • Day of Anger (1967)
  • Keoma (1976)
  • They Call Me Trinity (1970) and Trinity is Still My Name (1971)
  • Navajo Joe (1966)
  • Django the Bastard (1969)
  • The Mercenary (1968)
  • My Name is Nobody (1973)

"Spaghetti Westerns" were so-named because they were low-budget films made by Italian studios, and shot in various locations in Spain and Italy. This makes them very different from JFK, who was shot in Dallas, Texas.
