2/10

The name of this Spaghetti flickitself suggests that it has something

to do with gambling. But more thanthat, this is a revenge story with lots

of chasing around.

The story revolves around sixcharacters mainly. Cacopoulos (EliWallach), Cat (Terence Hill) ,

Hutch (Bud Spencer), Drake (KevinMcCarthy), Paco Rosa (Livio

Lorenzon) and Thomas (BrockPeters). Ace High picks up where

Colizzi's God Forgives..But I Don't(1967) wrapped up with the

explosive death of bandit Bill San Antonio...read more

17. A Bullet For The General - (1966) by Damiano Damiani

Mexican revolution is the favorite

backdrop of many western films. Notonly this backdrop gives these movies

a historical touch, but also employs alot of extra actors (as rebels, soldiers

and Mexican people). Jokes apart,Mexican revolution's influence on

western cinema is rooted deeper thanany other backdrop...

16. The Big Gundown - (1966) by Sergio Sollima

If cars would have been invented back then in

the Old West, Spaghetti Western film

production would have caused the major fuelconsumption. Why? Every second Spaghetti

western movie is enriched with chase-n-huntsequences. Well, being a fan of those deadly

hunts and a environment friendly western filmslover, I am glad they used horses which are

very eco friendly.

I know you have got it. Yeah, this Spaghetti western film is about a man hunt. But avery inquisitive I must say. The story is of a bounty hunter Jonathan Corbett, who is

a terror for all the bandits of Texas. For his lawful services to the state, he is offeredwith the candidacy to Senate of the United States...

15. Sabata - (1969) by Gianfranco Parolini

Spaghetti films portrayed the growth ofold west, rail road construction, bounty

hunters in a much stylish and brutalway than traditional western films. This

style and brutality could never beachieved without Spaghetti stars like

Lee Van Cleef. Lee in this movie is as

great as ever, tight lipped but loadedwith wicked comments and weapons ofassassination...

14. Death Rides A Horse - (1967) by Giulio Petroni

Spaghetti films no doubt are deadly

stylish flicks western cinema everwitnessed. They do everything in style

to capture your cow-boy nerve. Andman, they are good at this. Death

Rides A Horse, what else can bemore stylish than that? The title of

this Spaghetti Western Movie is itselfcapable of keeping you on the edge of

your comfy couch. But this classicmovie doesn't thrive on its title only;

it has more to offer your blood-

seeking western taste... read more

War just to find it in ruins by plague andterror of landlord Caldwell (Donald

O'Brian). With beautiful experimentswith sound and camera angles, Keoma

captures you by heart and tells a story

which is brutally violent but far moreimaginative than usual Spaghetti flicks.

12. Red Sun - (1971) by Terence Young

In western movies here comes theglorious East too. In this East-meets-West

western film, a train carrying a Japanese

diplomat to the United States isambushed and robbed by two outlaws

Gauche (Alain Delon) and Link (CharlesBronson). They steal a priceless golden

sword along with money... read more

11. Trinity Is Still My Name - (1971) by Enzo Barboni

No kidding.. some of the popular

Spaghetti films have funny bonestoo. This Spaghetti western movie

ranks high due to its popularityrather than that famous Spaghetti

violent touch. This sequel to

Trinity Is My Name (which was asuccess on European box-office),carries the same torch nicely.

Trinity (Terence Hill) andBambino (Bud Spencer)are

together again...

10. Django - (1966) by Sergio Corbucci

A strange man enters the town dragging amysterious coffin behind him. This Spaghetti

western film became an inspiration for manyother western movies later on and was

imitated several times on silver screen.Character of Django played by Frank Nero

remains a legend in the crowd of gunslingers

from Spaghetti movies...

9. They Call Me Trinity - (1970) by Enzo Barboni

They Call Me Trinity is a fun packedSpaghetti Western movie which is very

unusual in aggressive and violent naturedSpaghetti movies. Trinity (Terence

Hill) and Bambino (Bud Spencer) arebrothers of unmatched qualities

Trinity is an all time relaxed but thefastest gun around...

8. My Name Is Nobody - (1973) by Tonino Valerii

My Name Is Nobody is a mix of Sergio Leone

style western and Trinity style. It has both the

flavors to offer you; deadly sting of Spaghetti films

and laughter of Trinity series. While Henry Fondacomes in traditional western film package andTrance Hill will remind you of silent era of

comedy...

7. Campaneros - (1970) by Sergio Corbucci

Rejoice folks! You have got many reasonsto do that with this Spaghetti western

movie. Campaneros offers you more thanyou expect. Firstly, a dream cast ofFrank

Nero, Thomas Milian, Jack Palance andFernando Rey. Secondly, a compelling

music score by Ennio Morricone (My God!

I am praising him again). Thirdly, SergioCorbucci on director's chair. Now tell me,

how often you do get this kind of master-

blaster packages? ...

6. The Great Silence - (1968) by Sergio Corbucci

Sergio Corbucci's masterpiece "Il Grande

Silenzio" aka "The Great Silence" is more

than just one of the great Spaghettimovies of all-time. It's different from

Corbucci's earlier masterpiece "Django"(1966), which was a violent Spaghetti

Western, but The Great Silence is alsofull of dark humor. Corbucci's new

treatment of making the thin linebetween Good and Bad more blurry is

outstanding. For the first time we see the

outlaws as victims and bounty hunters asvillains. A brutal saga of misery, greedand selfishness has never been told in

such a 'mute' way...
