The Big Gundown has the reputation of being one of the very best spaghetti Westerns. It turns out that reputation is well earned.
The story seems simple enough at first. Cuchillo (Tomas Milian) is wanted for raping and murdering an 11 year old girl. Bounty hunter […]

I don’t know about you, but the title of Kill Them All And Come Back Alone conjures up the ultimate nihilistic spaghetti western. It pretty much writes itself. My fantasy of such a movie goes something like this: a group of hyper-competent cutthroats […]

When the first images of Keoma appeared on the TV, I got excited. A door in the right corner of the frame creaks back and forth, driven by the wind. In the far background, through the door, we see a lone rider. […]

For A Few Dollars More is all about creating moments that transcend story and even character. These moments are really about nothing more than themselves.
