If we are going to add all euro-westerns we could only add them as a list with name, director, year and country of origin and link to imdb. That would be good if we are going to keep focus on Italian westerns.
But some important films like Winnetou films, most Spanish westerns, and spaghetti-style eurowesterns could have their own page with all the info, pictures and dvd information.
Films like Hunting party (already on databade), Town Called Hell and Hannie Caulder are good examples of eurowesterns which should have their own pages on database. Theyâre not italian but they are very similar in style.
yeah but spaghetti westerns are eurowesterns. so weâd have to call it ânon-italo eurowesternsâ or something.
iâm just trying to push for a term or phrase that fits those movies best
what if we label them âThis film does not fit everyoneâs description of an Italian western. This Eurowestern was listed for completenessâ or something
I liked it. made a small fix to it, what do you say? I will also turn this little box into a template, so we can easily insert it by using {{Eurowestern}}, for example. Iâll make another called {{Iberowestern}} or something for Spanish titles if you guys, want, but Eurowestern shoudl be fine. and i added it to that category. so we can use Category:Eurowestern to put all these titles in one place, and add a little text and explanations, or different viewpoints, and links to the regular Spaghetti WEstern definitions etc
[quote=âSebastian, post:53, topic:457â]i have the feeling we are slowly listing every western ever made outside hollywood⊠?[/quote] UK is Europe. Apart from the American co-productions listed, theyâre purely European, thus elligible for inclusion in hte Eurowestern category.
Some of Eastwoodâs westerns after returning to the States are definitely Spaghetti-style. Hang 'Em High, High Plains Drifter, Two Mules for Sister Sarah. They should be included. There are only several hundred SWâs that genuinely qualify for this site, and outside of Christopher Frayling, many have not been seen by the general fanbase. A section devoted to Ennio Morricone is not a bad idea either. A lot of fans identify with the music.
[quote=âLode, post:56, topic:457â]But we a are SPAGHETTI WESTERN database. Eastwoods US western do not fit. Maybe the are spaghetti style, but they are us-produced.[/quote]So was OUTIW, and partially shot here. My Name is Nobody too. And other SWs. You wouldnât exclude them, would you?
what he was saying is, that while OUATITW hat backing from paramount and a handful of exteriors were shot in Arizona, the movie is purely italian.
while other eastwood films like high plains drifter have nothing to do with italy. weâre a spaghetti western database, and extending to other eurowesterns is already a huge concession. we donât wanna be a western database, anyone can use the imdb for movies, we are a genre corner, that allows us to focus on things and go into detail
