Fabulous! The ending made me stand up, cheer, then run to my computer and buy the DVD. Snow, music, great ending, and the BEST screen time for my all time favorite actor outside the Herzog collaborations.

You won't be disappointed...

Bruce - I really like Alex Cox and I've enjoyed his films a lot. Straight to Hell is a great movie! Vincent - I'm not sure I could contribute something to the John Ford Blog-a-thon since I've only seen 5 or 6 of his films. I feel a bit silly writing about him, but I'll see if I can think of something worthwhile to contribute. Thanks for thinking of me! Thanks for the comments Bruce & Vincent!

But thats only my opinion. I'm just excited were finally getting the other Leone westersn as special editions that have availabe over seas. There is a great but very pricey book that lists every Spaghetti Western ever made. wellworth searching out, but like I said a bit on the steep side. Sadly they did not include Alex Cox's Straight To Hell. Which was a modern day take on the genre. Great list but I think 1 and 2 should be switched. But thats only my opinion.

It would make my Top 20 list for sure! I haven't seen <b>Five Man Army</b> though so I should give that a look soon. AR - I think you'd enjoy Corbucci's films like <b>The Great Silence</b> and <b>Django</b>, as well as the other two Django movies I mentioned. Corbucci's westerns have a surreal quality that I think you'd appreciate. Nicolas - I do like <b>Run Man Run</b>, but it's not a favorite. I think it's because I prefer seeing Thomas Milan in more serious roles so the casting didn't work too well for me. I'm not sure, but for comedy/ spaghetti westerns I personally prefer Terence Hill's films like <b>My Name is Nobody</b> and the <b>Trinity</b> series.

This gives me some good ideas of more films to watch. Thanks for posting! I wonder what a list of my top 10 films noir would look like?

A couple Italian westerns that I like that you didn't mention are "A Man called Blade" by Sergio Martino, and Don Taylor's "Five Man Army" which I count as it was written by Dario Argento. When I get settled, I'll see about catching up with Django. I didn't see "Massacre Time" but I did see Fulci's "Four for the Apocalypse". I still have gaps, and have not seen three of your ten films.

Yep, it was tough to choose. There was no way I could leave my favorite Leone films off the list, and no matter how I cut it he dominated. Of course, I snuck in mentiions of other films so it really ended up being a Top 16 list. ;) Neil - I hope you'll join in the fun too! Marty - Thanks for stopping by! I look forward to checking out your own list. Jeremy - I’m glad you participated! Yep, it was tough to choose.
