A list of puns related to "List of Spaghetti Western films"
I'm down to watch a ton. I'd rather watch too much than too little. I just want to see everything I need to from front to back.
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.
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.

Epilogue:
The West as Parody - **Comedies added from
... keep reading on reddit β‘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:
I saw this movie probably 20 years ago and have had the image of a man dressed as a rodeo clown holding a rifle burned into my brain ever since. All I remember is whats in the title. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
