adios sabata was very good for me but original sabata a million times better
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Before that, True Grit. Before that, Open Range and then The Great Silence, I believe.
Jonah Hex ,
yes I know itās been mauled by everyone, and rightly so,
but I would be lying if I said I did not enjoy it, My liking of the title character has yes,
blinded me some what to the movies short comings , but I liked it I did!
Minnesota Clay
Great SW. Really enjoyed the storyline. Liked the plot twists. Not alot of action but some good gunfights and Corbucci did a great job directing this one.

on of his top 5!
I also just watched Minnesota Clay but I didnāt enjoy it as muchā¦If not for Fernando Sancho I probably wouldnāt have even guessed it was an SWā¦I realize it is a very early one (Makes me really appreciate Fistful of Dollars) Also watched Johnny Hamlet which I liked a lot. The Koch DVD looks amazing!
This is how I feel. About both films.
The Stranger and the Gunfighter
A very fun film, laughed out loud a couple of times and honestly, whoever thought of having Lee Van Cleef and Lo Lieh together in a movie is a genius. The villain was also hilarious. I showed this one to my brother, since heās a fan of Lo Lieh, and he liked it as much as I did. His spaghetti western education sure is atypical, first MĆ”talo and now this, he hasnāt even seen a Sergio Leone yet!
I wish it was a bit better though, so I could say I loved it, itās funny and well-made, but itās not a great comedy spaghetti western (Iām starting to wonder if the only great one is My Name is Nobody).
The funniest SW comedy Iāve seen is Trinity is still my Nameby far. I thought They call him Hallelujah was also funny ā¦(The Mercenary and Companeros have their moments but I dont know if theyāre considered comedies)ā¦I agree Stranger and the Gunfighter could have been better. Lo Liehs (dubbed?) voice and Kung Fu are awfulā¦The villian is awesome 
and LVC great as alwaysā¦Entertaining movie.
Youāre right about Lo Liehās voice, it was rather annoying and Iām pretty sure itās not his. I once watched an interview of Lo Lieh in which he spoke English and his voice sounded nothing like the one in the movie, although he was considerably older, so maybe it just changed too much for me to recognize. The kung fu was also pretty lame compared to a lot of martial arts films, but at least every time there was some kung fu a funky music started and it made everything better. I thought the last fight was okay too, especially with the dramatic death scene. I think the movie would have been better if they pushed the absurdity even farther.
Iāll check out the two films you mentioned.
Gunfight At Red Sands, Seven Guns for Timothy and Nobody is the Greatest
Liked the first one, even if Richard Harrison was a bit wooden. Big fan of the opening song āA Gringo Like Meā.
Thought Seven Guns For Timothy was an enjoyable mix of comedy and action; anything with Fernando Sancho automatically gains a few points, and Sean Flynn was likable-shame about what happened to him in real life. 
Didnāt even finish Nobody Is the Greatest aka A Genius Two Partners and a Dupe. Really nonsensical and painfully unfunny at times. I suppose Iāll go into it again at a later date, but after watching over half I totally realize why Leone decided to take his name off this one-you can totally tell he shot the opening scene and not Damiani.
Oh, and also caught Massacre at Grand Canyon-not Corbucciās best, obviously, but not bad for an early Spaghetti. I liked the scene with the antagonist and his Father talking about the fate of the younger son.
I just finished watching Cjamango, which I found pretty forgettable. A lot of the film, including the ending, fell flat. It had some merits for sure, but overall this was one of the weaker Koch Media discs Iāve purchased.
True Grit - superior in just about every department to the first adaptation, IMO. First-rate performances all round (I prefer Kim Darby as an actress to the new lass, but the latter was remarkably confident and convincing in a difficult part), the humour is much drier, and the smattering of āCoen momentsā (the bearskin-clad dentist in particular) much appreciated.
Iām reading the book at this moment. The new version arrived in Belgium last weekend, but itāll take 1-2 weeks before it arrives in the town where I live.
I just finished the novel and I really enjoyed it. The book was on my shelf for many years cause I always liked the John Wayne Western. Iām very curious to see the remake of the Coen Brothers. According to some sources it will be released on the 25 Feb in Austria 
Hopefully with the sucess of True Grit and 3:10 to Yuma some years ago they will continue to make Westerns. Quentin and Robert should do one either (more Spaghetti Western like).

It would be cool if they did a SW double feature kinda like they did with Grindhouse.
Just finished Taste Of Killing. Just when I think Iāve seen all the best SW characters, along comes Hank āLankyā Fellows. Great flick. Loved the ending.
I watched Keoma last night for the first time in about 4 years and I enjoyed it more this time around. The music was a little more bearable (but I still find it extremely bad in some parts). I had forgotten that this film was filled with slow-motion moments. I think itās a cool effect but perhaps used a bit too much. Great performances by Franco Nero and Woody Strode.
i hate the last scene gunfight without sound
