and you made some surprise spagvemberfest ads… to be revealed shortly 
Glad to help spread the spaghetti craziness 
I have a big list of potential rewatches ready, including the Leone films, mostly stuff I haven’t seen in at least 5 years, and a shorter list of first time viewings, mostly lesser films. I’ll try to spread the classics out over the month so I know I’ll have some gems to look forward to, in order to prevent potential burnout. I’m certainly going to try to avoid doing something like watching a week full of Fidani, though a few here and there won’t hurt. Don’t have a day by day list as I tend to go with my mood.

Definitely gonna have some rewatches too. My soulmate as committed herself to join me in some sessions, as long as the picks are from hers favorites. So I’m now pretty sure that Cemetery without crosses, Django il bastardo, Face to face will make the list.

Day 1: Bullets Don’t Argue (1964)
Woke up early this morning so thought I’d get Spagvemberfest underway. I’ve sorted my watchlist into a vaguely chronological order so this early film was first up. While showing few signs of what would come to define a spaghetti western this was quite enjoyable… until we get to the ranch at the end. 5/10

Today’s movie - Trinity and Sartana Are Coming (1972)
This very silly comedy western could have been completely unwatchable but it’s silliness becomes entertaining because of just how off the wall it is. Of course it’s pretty bad and Sartana is not Sartana and Trinity is not Trinity. Bad but maybe worth a watch.
Also, - Zorro (1975)
Not a spaghetti western and definitely made for children but Delon is charismatic enough to make it work and Tessari knows how to direct a film. Good entertainment but turn off your brain before widening.

I am starting the month with a tribute to George Martin so it begins with a re-watch of A Pistol for Ringo (1965).

Day 1 - They still call me Amen

I’m starting with this one. Didn’t watch the first of the series, but I reckon it should not have mutch continuity. Gonna see it straight from YouTube.

Day 1 - The Last Gun (rating: 7/10)
This is one I own on the Mill Creek Blu-ray. The first time I watched it I rated it as a 4/10. I forgot all about that rating and viewing. I watched it a second time this morning and gave it a 7/10. My impression is very changed. As an early Spaghetti, it leans a bit into American themes (the young boy following around Cameron Mitchell gives me “Shane” vibes). But it has a Peter Tevis theme that is fairly catchy, and I always love Peter Tevis. The masked hero makes for an interesting figure, even if the mystery of his identify isn’t all too mysterious. The obligatory town takeover by bandits is here, there’s a bit of brutal back-shooting, and the musical Guitar character may have influenced Harmonica, Banjo, and even Trinity with his laconic grinning and easy nature. Well worth a watch.

Actually it’s the first movie Così sia on YouTube, with a wrong English title.

- Siciliano: Halleluja & Sartana Strike Again
-I had a some good films on bluray lined up ready for spagvember but instead I chose to watch this awful film from vhs as my first film. Why? I dunnno but at least it looks like I’m not the only one as LeSpecialiste and Pereira had a similar start. Terrible film which at least has few funny scenes here and there because of the bat-shit-crazy villain. 3/10

Jesse & Lester - Due fratelli in un posto chiamato Trinità
I’m watching the Italian language version sans subtitles, so far I’m enjoying it very much. More tongue n cheek humor than slapstick

1st - Requiescant
Wasn’t very fond of this one first time around so I gave it a second chance after ten years, but I think it fared even poorly. Sorry, fans of this spagh, but this is not my bowl of minestrone.

You’re correct. Thanks for the heads-up.

I guess it’s more likely to watch crappy ones as the marathon is still in its beggining. Down the road we’ll be to wear to deal with such.

1: Blindman (1971)
Starting off ‘gently’ with an easy one, and like @makesthemovie I plan to watch with Italian audio and Italian subs … I think it’s a good way to revive interest in films I’ve seen many times, and get the SW flavor back again

Day 1: For a Few Dollars More (1965). I’ve seen countless Italian westerns over the years, including Leone’s AFFD and TGBU. But not the second one in the Dollar Trilogy. Therefore, it’s the first one on my list.

SPAGVEMBERFEST DAY 1
After the brutality/gormlessness of trying to watch the same one film each and every day of Spagvember last year, I’m taking things nice and easy in 2021. I’m only watching spags I own on blu-ray, so they’re all relatively big titles, they’re all movies of which I’m very fond and they’re all rewatches. It’s going to be a comfy, pleasant Spagvemberfest for me; I’ve earned it.
And I’m about to kick off right now with a late-night showing of Django (Corbucci, 1966), the fifth spaghetti western I ever saw (behind the Dollars trilogy and OUaTitW), back in the nineties when I wasn’t even 100% sure on what the term “spaghetti western” meant. It was a blind purchase on VHS tape from a CD/video store in Basildon. Merely going off of the video box jacket, it looked cool, intriguing and kind-of scuzzy. And it didn’t disappoint on any front. What in shitting crikey was in that coffin? I honestly couldn’t fathom it. The real kicker to that little mystery? I can’t recall for sure, but I think Nero was holding the bloody gun on the box cover. D’oh!
Anyway, Django tends to be a movie which blows hot and cold with me. One time, I’ll watch it and love it to pieces. Next time, I’ll watch it and wonder what I saw in it. The next time, I’ll adore it again. I don’t know how I’ll view it tonight but I know that I’m very much in the mood for Django, and for SpagvemberFest. Giddy up!
