Is this a problem that is the same all over the world, or am I the only one?
wy cant my girlfriend be as excited about a spaghetty western as me, do mthere excist any woman that like spaghetties? is this a global problem?
I can imagine this problem. Cause girls donât really like thisâŚit is too boring. But I know 2 female friends of mine, who really want to do a western night with me. But this is maybe not because of the western ;D
my gf once fell asleep during OUATITW, but she was very tired. she said sheâd like to watch it again some time
girls have a problem with a) long movies b) the beauty of cinematography and c) dirty cowboys and gunshots
My âother halfâ canât stand SWâs. I have to wait until she goes out to watch them. I have caught her whistling along to the music on occasion so there is some hope she might develop an interest.
Some girls actually like spaghettis, and why shouldnât they really?
And you know we even had a member on this forum, Nobody!
my girlfiend finds it funny that I am so addictive watching and collecting spaghetties, but the only thing what she says while Im watching a sw is âcan you make the sound a little bit lowerâ. I think she liked il pistolero dell´ave maria,
it had a few soap aspects in the story.
Further she allways falls a sleep during a spaghetti or she starts doing something elws, so the best thing to do is watch a sw alone atnight with a nice cold beer in your hand and your feet on the table
Well I guess I am one of the lucky ones,my wife likes SWâS ,but she does prefer certain ones ala GBU,OUTITW,My name is Nobody and a few othersâŚI think she is more a fan of Morricone though LOL

My girlfriend had it with westerns in general. I let her watch Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and she liked it alot. So thereâs hope, just donât start with films like Once Upon a Time in the West but try some films that are lighter of tone.
I just came across this quite old topic and found it really interesting. : As Silvanito said, Iâm a girl and I LOVE western in general and above all SW. I donât know, maybe Iâm not ânormalâ hence itâs not that easy to find a woman who can appreciate this genre. ;D
I like SW not only for the handsome guys acting in them ( ) but their originality, music, and (from a cinematographic point of view) for the way the scenes are filmed. Even in a âB- spaghetti westernâ the images are just breathtaking and they really give an extra dramatic perspective.
Well, boys, I hope that youâll finally get to convince your girlfriends that SW are just great movies to watch !
Success
Why canât all girls be like you
Yeah, i find this subject quite interesting. I got into regular westerns as a little kid, and then rapidly moved onto spaghettiâs after seeing For a Few Dollars More. I donât know any other women who like these kinds of films. Then again, itâs pretty much the same with guys. The one i live with wonât watch them at all, and pretty much describes them up as âsilly and weirdâ!!! >:( This coming from a man who likes Steven Segal films! I think Nobody summed up the reasons to like SWâs so much already, (and the good looking men are a bonus for us girls of course). :
Well I just watched Per 100.000 Dollari tâammazzo last night with my girlfriend, and she really enjoyed it - she is a big fan of Franco Nero (its the grizzleâŚ!).
do spaghetti westerns and girlfriends go together?No!
Any particular reason for that?
Hah, just joking. Usually the girls I have known have liked Leoneâs dollar-trilogy but Iâve never met anyone whoâd be really enthusiastic about the genre.
my girlfriend loves spaghetti westerns, although I didnât know that when we started seeing each other! she loves horses, so I think that has a lot to do with it whenever I buy any new ones, I get told off if I watch them before she has a chance to come round and see them with me. the only ones she canât be bothered with are those that are in italian with subtitles
well, if you just talk about spaghetti western all day, then you got problem or youâre a damm geek. My, ex-girlfriend likes spaghetti western ( she means with that⌠the dollar trilogy, thatâs it bout).
Adios.
Hm. I made the experience that it does go togehter. Although my girlfriend doesn`t like those bloddy violent flics she is sitting next to me saying nothing and let me watch it Or sheâs reading. But she accepts my fanatism
It absolutely depends on the individual and the movie in question. For example, just about anyone â male or female â can appreciate a great movie such as The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Spaghetti or not, itâs recognized as one of the greatest movies in film history, and itâs hard not to appreciate the artistry involved. However, the deeper you delve into the genre, the lesser the overall quality of the films becomes, and I believe thatâs when Spaghettis start becoming a hardsell for the wives and girlfriends. The machismo and over-the-top violence â not to mention the way women are generally treated in these movies â is obviously tailored to male audiences.
Talking from experience here, my wife would gladly sit down and watch any of the Dollars films with me, because they are truly classic movies that just about anyone can enjoy. Same goes for other non-Spaghetti Eastwood films such as Unforgiven and Hang Em High. (Eastwood in general has a pretty decent female following Iâd presume.) However, I donât think sheâd sit through something like Django or Death Rides A Horse, these are films that in my opinion you would have to be a true fan of the genre to appreciate.
I watched films like Run, Man, Run, Django and Keoma with my ex-girlfriend and she liked 'em but Four of the Apocalypse was too much for her. Too much excessive violence and the rape scene was just too much.
