Corbucci is alongside Leone the most important director of spaghettiwesterns.
Yeah, together with Sollimaā¦The Three Sergios.
I think āGreat Silenceā is his best film,and the best spaghettiwestern ever made.
and I think that Companeros and Mercenario are the best revolution-films.
the end of hellbenders is genial and django is one of the best films too.
i didnt understood āWhat am I doing in the middle of a revolutionā because of the englisch-synchro.
āSpecialistsā is a nice western i think.
You could almost say that Corbucci is better than Leone really.
āGli Specialistiā is certainly not among Corbucciās great ones !!! Itās just slightly above average, not really bad, not really good !!! Itās a kind of hippie-western !!!

Gli Specialisti is one of my favourites, great film 
Only seen TGS, Django and Companeros, all are masterpieces. Iāll say TGS is the best - really shocking. Loco is maybe the most evil charakter of the film historyā¦
Django - the only problem is the incredible ending, but itās very cool. The coffin is the best ;D
Companeros - almost as good as GBU. Brilliant actors, in their best form, and a very funny story.
Poor falconā¦ ;D ;D ;D (Iām sure Corbucci had read Boccaccioā¦)
Hmmmā¦that is strictly a matter of opinion. For you, it is ācertainly not among Corbucciās great onesā. But, in my opinion, it is. However, that is what makes these forums so interesting and funāthe sharing of opinions and thoughts!
Picking an absolute favorite Corbucci Western is incredibly toughā¦so much so that I just canāt do it.
I love, equally, DJANGO, THE MERCENARY, and THE GREAT SILENCE!
I stick to my opinion ! What doesnāt mean that I donāt like the movie.
Of course! I understand that. You should always stick to your opinion, amigo.
It's a kind of hippie-western !!!
Bizarre to have 1960s hippies in a film about the wild west, and shoot the whole thing in the European Alps, mmmm me like it ;D
My favorite is Il Grande silenzio (The Great silence).
A question. In which editions is Kinski named Loco? In original version his name is Tigrero.
I donāt know very well Johnn Hallyday song but I think he is a rockānāroll singer and not a folk singer.

In English dub he is Loco, I donāt know why. But in Hungarian subtitles he was Tigrero. Funny.

As far as I know his name is Loco in the English and German versions and Tigrero in the original Italian version !!! Donāt know why they changed the names !? Maybe 'cause Loco is close to lunatic or so !?
Loco in spanish means ācrazyā
My favorite is Companeros but, honestly, I havenāt yet seen a Corbucci western that I havenāt liked. Mind you, I havenāt seen them all yet. Iām currently losing a bid on Gli Specialisti on ebay at the momentā¦

I would be surprised if you DONāT find a Corbucci to dislike!
Well, of course, itās possible. As I said, I havenāt seen all of them so who knows? He made quite a few of them so thereās a good chance that thereās going to be something that he made that I might not get behind but I havenāt seen it yetā¦
He started with Massacre at Grand Canyon on a very low level, worked his way up to 1968, the year where he was at the all time top of his cinematic skills with his masterpieces The Great Silence and The Mercenary, and afterwards made his way down until he reached with his last western The White, the Yellow, the Black a new nadir of his career. But there were even worse comedies to follow.
A tragically great waste of talent.
Francesco Rosi asked him once:
"Donāt you be ashamed to make such bad films?"
And Corbucci answered:
āYes, Iām ashamed, but when Iām going to my bank, getting my money, Iām no longer ashamedā
