It seems that similar questions have been asked several times on this site, so please let me know again. I would like to know the top 10 Spaghetti Western films of all time in Italy. thank you.
I have been trying to put this Italian box office figures into English. Up to about 330 so far with another 100 to go.
In the appendix of Austin Fisher’s excellent book Radical Frontiers in the Spaghetti Western: Politics, Violence and Popular Italian Cinema (2011), there is a list of the 100 “Highest Grossing Italian Westerns, 1962–1980 (Domestic Prima Visione Box-office Returns).” The first ten are (2014 paperback edition, p. 219):
1 … continuavano a chiamarlo Trinità
2 Per qualche dollaro in più
3 Il mio nome è Nessuno
4 Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo
5 Per un pugno di dollari
6 Lo chiamavano Trinità …
7 … e poi lo chiamarono il Magnifico
8 Un genio, due compari, un pollo
9 C’era una volta il West
10 Zanna Bianca
First of all, I’m Japanese, so I can’t understand English well.I apologize if my writing is incorrect.I am making and uploading videos about spaghetti westerns to YouTube in Japan.
I previously compiled and uploaded a ranking of the popularity of spaghetti westerns on the internet.What I noticed was that, similar to the example mentioned in the comments, there were works that were considered unpopular in Japan at the top.So I wanted to know about works that were hits in Italy but were unknown in Japan.Thank you everyone for your comments. I especially found the box office numbers published in books about Spaghetti Westerns to be helpful.Thank you for your help

Thank you everyone for your many comments. And when I saw the valuable materials, I was amazed. I found it interesting to see the differences in the works supported by different countries. Thank you very much.
