Not sure if anyone has ever done a recap of what they’ve watched on the thread before, but I figured it’d be cool to give a brief final thought for the first 15
Day 1: Acquasanta Joe - A definite future re-watch, has its flaws, but it has a lot more to like about than to dislike, and Lincoln Tate is a little underrated in my opinion.
Day 2: Testa t’Ammazzo Croce…sei Morto…Mi Chiamano Alleluja - A lighthearted action comedy SW that deserves a once a year viewing. The comedy blends in with the action well, and doesn’t get too silly.
Day 3: Due Croci a Danger Pass - Had a cool enough story and premise, and the opening really sets up the action to come well, but its execution fell a little short in the long run. I didn’t hate this one, but I think I may need to give it a second chance later.
Day 4: Dio Perdoni la Ma Pistola - A good SW spoiled by a poor quality print. Would definitely watch it again once a company gives it the clean up and TLC it deserves.
Day 5: Sette Dollari sul Rosso - A Classic SW that has all the hallmarks of what makes the genre what it is. A well put together story with enough pathos and character that adds that extra punch of excellence.
Day 6: Una Colt in Pugno al Diavolo - A fun little gem that needs a wider audience. A must re-watch for anyone who loves the genre.
Day 7: Dio non Paga il Sabato - Another fun little gem that I believe has reached the status of Minor Classic. It almost feels like a play with the small cast, but each character is never boring, and the mystery aspect adds a good bit of flavor that keeps viewers guessing what’ll happen next.
Day 8: Joko Invoca Dio…e Muori - A fun and entertaining series of set pieces that culminates in a curious cat and mouse game finale. An SW every fan should see.
Day 9: Nato per Uccidere - A lesser, but no less entertaining, American style SW with some good shootouts and a good performance by Gordon Mitchell. Not perfect, but one to check out for something different.
Day 10: Execution - A case of a good plot and characters hampered by inconsistencies and an unnecessary final scene. Only certain sections are worth watching.
Day 11: Bandidos: A classic of the SW genre, one everybody should see, 'nuff said.
Day 12: Per un Dollaro di Gloria - Another good story line that somehow ended up turning into a turkey that even Broderick Crawford couldn’t save. Not recommend.
Day 13: Giarrettiera Colt - An underseen SW and that needs a lot more love and attention. One that every fan should seek out and see. Nicoletta Machiavelli is the greatest Anti-Heroine of the genre in the title role.
Day 14. Joe l’Implacabile - Pure fun and entertainment, a cool precursor to genre favorites Sartana and Sabata with the gadgets and suaveness. Perfect to watch at any time and to just sit back and enjoy the ride.
Day 15: E alla Fine lo Chiamarono Jerusalem l’Implacabile - a mixed bag that fans either like or don’t like. I found it interesting and entertaining enough.
