great stuff i don't have any in that first picture, but i do have my name is nobody, sonny and jed and bullet for the grenral. i think that is an amazing film, quién sabe? amazing totally underrated. sonny and jed, i don't really think of that one as a western but it's got some amazing lines in it from what i can remember "large enough to feed the world" and once upon a time in the west is another great one.

I saw it late one night about 15 years ago and loved it. J & S: Criminal Story of an Outlaw Couple - definitely regarded as a Spaghetti Western and even features music by Ennio Morricone. Looking forward to watching several of the early Columbia Video Discs today! There is also a really cheap boxset available on DVD that features 44 Spaghetti Westerns that I bought some time ago. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Spaghetti-Weste ... ti+box+setIt includes many of the lesser known titles at a great price if you like films of that genre.

The 3 must have Columbia releases are Days of Vengeance, Django and Massacre Time but if you get those you'll not stop until you complete the set.
Favourites overall - My Name is Nobody, Django and A Bullet For the General but they all have their moments. My Name is Nobody has a beautiful music score, but perhaps is a little bit too slapstick. Django - you will never forget that coffin getting dragged about and the sheer violence throughout. A Bullet For the General has a less impressive music score but is still a wonderful film overall. The train and machine gun scenes are unforgettable. i agree with all above but have to add for me the last scene was the best in bullet for the general. as for sonny and jed, i know it's a spaghetti western but just has less of a western than some of the other. i still think it's a great one.

Another fun one which you unfortunately won't find on laserdisc is "The Good, The Bad, The Weird," which is a wonderful Korean take on the genre, set in 1930s Manchuria - it has gun battles, banditos (Korean and Chinese), a train heist, wirework, and a climactic battle between four or five different factions including the Imperial Japanese Army. It's absolutely brilliant, and I strongly recommend it - subtitled, but the action is so good it really doesn't matter.
