Poll: Favourite spaghetti western?

[Cargando]

For all who don't know, spaghetti western is a term used to refer to Sergio Leone's westerns.

Personally, I adore For a Few Dollars More, (the first one with Lee Van Cleef in) I loved the cinematic quality about it.

Anyway, which is your favourite?

EDIT: Yes, I realise I made a made a mistake over the termage of Spaghetti Western, and several people have corrected me, so can you please stop quoting me over me.

Django.

I didn't think it was just Segio's films that made it to "spaghetti" standard. Favourite western is the Magnificent 7

Out of those in the list " a fist full of dollars""

Really? Oh bugger, ah well, you know what I was getting at.

I haven't seen Once Upon a Time in the West yet, but I will do, mark my words.

I love all of the other's equally, but I think that I'd go with For a Few Dollars More too.

The opening titles are amazing, brilliant music. The end duel is so tense as well, I love the music for that. In fact, the music in all of Leone's films is fantastic

I though "they call me trinity" was pretty good.

I'm inclined to say The Good The Bad and The Ugly because of the finale.
It's been years since I've seen it but I still remember it was fucking EPIC.

Also, The Outlaw Josey Wales is brilliant too. I know it's not a Spaghetti Western, but still...

 

[The Infamous Scamola]

I think that I'd go with For a Few Dollars More too.

The opening titles are amazing, brilliant music. The end duel is so tense as well, I love the music for that. In fact, the music in all of Leone's films is fantastic

Yeap, pretty much everything he said.

Most people will answer The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, which, granted, is a masterpiece, but I just love FaFDM that much more. Truly, one of tge best films ever, without even taking genre into consideration.

For all who don't know, spaghetti western is a term used to refer to Sergio Leone's westerns.

Spaghetti western is the term used to describe westerns made around the early '70s because back then producers found it was much cheaper to make the movies in Italy than in America.

The one that I did a review on. [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/326.78104#964048]

Excellent review, and by the way I did notice Lee's missing finger joint.

I know it's cliche, but I really love The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, the combination of Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef and Eli Wallach is just too perfect for the triple perspective story and the entire thing is a wonderful work of Spaghetti Western/High Adventure Film.

Glad you agree

I love Lee Van Cleef's character in it, sheer bad-assery, and a really good back-story for him. I think I prefer it to his character in The Good the Bad and the Ugly.

Not entirely, it also has to do with the fact that Italian Directors were the ones interested in making westerns, their cheap and unique approach was already well established when American Producers took note of the films.
