I love these more than any other type of Spaghetti.
The type I have in mind are those that END bleakly. For instance, Cemetery Without Crosses, The Great Silence, A Minute To Pray A Second To Die (non US ending).
Can anybody recommend similar films?
The darker the better.
Thanks all
Well, maybe āDjangoā¦kill!ā, āFour of the Apocalypseā, āAnd God said to Cainā or āCut throats nineā ???
El Puro is one for the list.
āBlack Jackā might fit !?
Ah, yes, how could I forget Cut Throats Nine!
Beautiful
Iāve never seen Black Jack but Iāve heard about it. Iāll try to order it through Atlas.
Gracias
I donāt know where to get a copy. I donāt know about this film. Iāll go read about it.
Thank you Ennio
This is how I like 'em as well. ;D
As mentioned, āBlack Jackā and āEl Puroā are well worth the finding. Of the top of my head, others that are seeped in blood n mud for much of their dark existence, and worth the entrance price - would certainly be āCaliforniaā, āDeath played the Fluteā, - and āThose Dirty Outlawsā (bar one barroom brawl, that is as cliched as they come) is pretty grubby as well. Not all of these have that nihalistic ending, but still maintain a dark core at heart. It wouldnāt be fair to say which end on the ānobody gets out of this aliveā-vibe cos it wouldnāt do to know too much too soon, for the enjoyment of the film ;).
Not in the same league, maybe ā¦ but āDrummer of Vengeanceā and the confused but quite good mexi-western āEl Tunco Maclovioā arenāt a bundle of laughs at the end either.

Thanks Rev.
Ennio has been kind enough to offer to trade with me so I can get copies of El Puro & Black Jack. Iām looking forward to watching them.
California is one of my favorite later Spaghettis. Especially in the beginning Giuliano Gemma plays against the type of his usual relatively talky role. He is much more taciturn than usual. I thought he did it well. William Berger is also excellent in California.
I have Those Dirty Outlaws as well and will go back and watch it again.
Death Play The Flute: love that title. I will look for it as well as the others.
Thanks again!
If you love the English title, youāll certainly love the original one:
Lo ammazzo come un cane ā¦ ma lui rideva ancora !
Translation:
I killed him like a dog ā¦ but he kept laughing !
Enjoy BLACK JACK, probably the darkest of all spaghetti westerns (Il grande silenzio not included)

Scherpschutter you got my number. That is a GREAT title. Thanks.
I canāt wait to see Black Jack.
My favorite of the bleakest is Cemetary Without Crosses. As Robert Hossein said: āYou believe in revenge. I donāt. It never ends.ā And, man, does it NOT.
Say, is your name a homophone pun or a literal translation into German? Either way, itās a good one.
Itās Dutch and itās an excisting word, meaning sharpshooter or marksman
(scherp = sharp, schutter = shooter)
In German it would be ScharfschĆ¼tze
I chose the word not only because I like it and it seemed appropriate, but also for the two āschā; this gutteral sound is probably the most difficult one to pronounce for foreigners. In German the āschā isnāt gutteral. (In Dutch the āgā can be gutteral too, but officially only in final position; in some parts of the country, mainly in the west, itās consired to be gutteral in every position, although thereās a tendancy to drop those sounds more and more and replace them by more smooth ones; in Flanders, where I live, gutterals arenāt as outspoken as in Holland; Belgian Dutch - Flemish - sounds smoother throughout, but local dialects are much stronger, so itās harder to understand for those who have learned Dutch as a foreign language)

Nasty little slices of spaghetti-pie these two, so you should enjoy these then! 
And I particularly look forward to your review of EP. Iām gonna get BJ checked out again so weād better see if thereās a thread out there for it.
Oh yeah, and Apache Woman ā¦ you know these guys aint gonna live happily ever after :ā(.
Iām curious about EP !!! Still missing in my collection 'cause I couldnāt get my hands on it yet !!! Sent you a PM Rev. concerning Un buco in fronte !!!
Ha Ha!! Pretty Good. I donāt know too much about this one. Of course Iāve seen some the stills/posters from it so I know it looks extreme (and extremely interesting). I donāt know of an Engilsh language version. Iāve seen both Italinan & Spanish versions for sale. Iāve almost purchased the Spanish version (I speak some Spanish) but have put off getting it so far because of the language problem for me.
Youāre in touch with Brother Ennioo, or you can pm me. We both know of a couplāa English versions kicking about. 
Thanks Rev.
Iāll let you know.
Iāll definitely say that the two that stand the most for me are The Great Silence and Cemetery Without Crosses. Both have excellent nihilistic endings which every now and then is needed as life isnāt all strawberries and cream. Speaking of which I need to pop in CwC again next week.
Iāll watch Black Jack tonight.
El Puro definietly
Tepepa is bleak but not dark
Price of Death is darkish
Massacre Time: Bleak and dark
Mannaja: Bleak, dark, violent
Keoma
These sound like my kind of films as wellā¦ Iāve take note and Iāll be sure to check some out
