.....Alot of early low budget Westerns were actually made in Italy. That's where the term comes from.

Very informative, sir. I didn't know that.

I think a lot of them were produced by Italians also.

They were made in Italy. ALot of the ones with Clint Eastwood were made by director Sergio Leone.

Fist Full of Dollars, The Good The Bad and The Ugly, Once Upon a Time in THe West are IMO some of the best examples.

I think that I like Clint a lot in spite of the spaghetti
westerns he did.......just thought they were weak as hell!
The best one was "The Good, The Bad & The Ugly" and THAT one was good mostly because Eli Wallach is such a cool ****er!

....Yeah, they were cheasy but good. The music and the sound of the gunshots were the best.

Good westerns are ****ing great. Anyone read the old Elmore Leonard ones? Hombre and Valdez is Coming in particular are fantastic.

Quentin Tarantino has long pondered turning one of Leonard's westerns into a movie. Hope he does someday.

Good, Bad, and Ugly is awesome, i also like Fistful of D 2 a lot because of van cleef's character - col. mortimer...it's not a spaghetti western but i also love the outlaw josey wales ( it's a book called gone to texas (by forrest carter???))

i think my favorite western of all time though has got to be Pat Garrett and Billy the kid - has kristofferson and coburn in it, also cowboy chracter actor slim pickens
