So many, so many.
But if pushed I think I would have to go with Milian and Gemma. And I suspect Eli Wallach would be good entertainment for the evening. Maybe Kinski if I was in the mood for a fight.
Of the directors, it would have to be Leone of course. Along with Sollima and Tessari and, just for fun, Signor Fidani!

Hahahaha
I think Garko and Anthony Ascott are the two people I would most like to chat with.
But there are others like Berger and George Martin, not to mention Clint Eastwood, Stephen, Van Cleef and Gemma.

Aw, but if I had to pick a dude, probably Steffen or Garko. Or Tomas āI am so fucking talentedā* Milian just to take him down a notch about that ego of his.

You are right of course! What was I thinking?? Please change my choices to Nicoletta Machiavelli, Nieves Navarro and Rosalba Neri. Now thatās a night out Iād really enjoy!

I think the actual quote was something like āOne thing I know about myself is that Iām fucking talented.ā But close enough for the point to stand.
However, as a famous big head from english football once said when accused of being conceitedā¦āItās not conceited to admit to being good at something when you are.ā
That pretty much sums up my feelings about Milian. Big ego, yes. But probably no bigger than he deserves. I am, of course, one of what Chris Casey likes to call the āMilian Hordesā so may possibly be seen as biased. But in all honesty, when I look at my list of favourite spaghettis not made by Leone, there is one common factor in most of them and it is Tomas. And furthermore, I donāt believe any of those films would be nearly as good without him. The Bounty Killer is probably the best example of that in my opinion.
So on my imaginary night out with Nicoletta, Nieves and Rosalba Iāll still keep a chair open for Tommy. If he feels like coming along. ;D
Sartana Django? 
I would go for Leone, Milia and LvC. And maybe Fulciā¦
Cider for me please! Does that count?
Iām sure Loredana Nusciak counts ā¦ sheās my āgravyā. :-* ;D
I agree and disagree. I think Milian has made some good films and heās made some horrible stinkers. As far as the genre goes, Iāve liked him very much when heās understated (Django Kill) and canāt stand it when he overacts (quite often). I think the bigger thing with me is heās got an ego like heās an A-list Hollywood star, where I donāt think he even comes close to an Eastwood or Pacino (or even a Gemma or Garko). I moreso see him as an upper-tier B-movie actor. He is indeed in some of the best spags, no doubt, but for me, he doesnāt factor so much into why theyāre so good (donāt kick me out of the club for saying that!)
ANybody see Milian in the prison series on HBO called āOzā a few years back? He played an aging convict whose son and grandson were in the same prison, and he had Alzheimerās. Undoubtedly one of the best performances Iāve ever seen from him.Very real and believable, and quite sad, actually.

Iām with you lordradish!
So, if they kick you out of the clubā¦they will have to kick me out, tooā¦and then we will have to start our own!
To be frank, I never had a real dislike for Milianā¦until those interviews he did for Blue Underground! I find him very interesting and allā¦but, he does, indeed come off as entirely conceited. And unlike the famous footballer, I donāt think Milianās conceit is warranted.
Films he is brilliant in would include: THE BOUNTY KILLER, THE BIG GUNDOWN, TEPEPA, and FACE TO FACE. I think he is good in DJANGO KILL, too. Films where I think the directors should have reigned him in would have to include: COMPANEROS and SONNY & JED. In COMPANEROS he was fine in some scenes and just too over-the-top in othersā¦making for a very uneven performance. I think that is why I much prefer THE MERCENARY to COMPANEROS.
But, there I go againā¦rantingā¦all thanks to these @#$!%# kidney stones!!!
Oh, almost forgotā¦
I am also with you in that I would rather spend my chatting time with the ladies!!
Iād like to have an actual sit-down with Nicoletta. Even though we have spent quite a few hours on the phone and via email, it just isnāt the same!
Iād like to spend a couple of hours with Silvana Bacci, Rosalba Neri, Claudia Cardinale, Nieves Navarro, and Pilar Velasquez, to name but a few!
As for the guysā¦
Well, as with Nicoletta I would like to have actual face to face chatting sessions with Franco Nero (weāve exchanged letters) and Enzo Castellari (like Nicoletta, we have had hours of phone conversations and email correspondence over the years).
I would also like to sit and talk with Richard Harrison, Gianni Garko, George Hilton, Giuliano Gemma, Terence Hill, Robert Woods, Leonard Mann, Tony Anthony, andā¦okā¦I confess, Tomas Milian!
I was lucky enough to spend an entire week with Aldo Sanbrell (Sambrell if you prefer the famous misspelling! heh heh!) in California back in 2004 and we have kept up correspondence off and on since then. A great guy!
Lee van Cleef. I have a HUGE crush on him. Sigh.

Alcohol free beer Silenceā¦
Worst invention EVER!
Yes, have to agree.
There are lots of alcohol free stuff but Iāve never heard about alcohol free beer ;).
To be quite honest, all the prior choices are obvious, but it would be even better to have these beers, with these sw greats, along with a few of you here on the forum. Phil H, Ennioo & Pacificador to name a few. Me, swās greats, fellow forumites & of courseā¦ BEER! (the staring role) 
Oh & of course the saloon would have to be all ages so I can buy Korano & Silence a Mountain Dew!
