Thats just crazy talk, I was referring to sixties styling you uncouth fellow. I must of seen every sixties spaghetti western imaginable, all top notch entertainment, everyone of them.
"Spaghetti westerns" are one thing. Italian directors like Sergio Leone left a strong legacy of the cheap but good western movie. This is where Clint Eastwood made his mark.
But westerns on TV are quite another thing. Nothing "spaghetti" about them, unless you watch them while eating a reheated can of Spaghetti-O's.

Charles Bronson with his harmonica .... classic !!
I believe the movie got a Best Picture Oscar.
Originally posted by mghrn55It won some awards in Europe, but not an Oscar. It is one of the few Westerns with a real part for a woman, not merely as a tag-along to the gun-slinger.

The role of the ice-cold bad guy was quite a departure for Henry Fonda; it startled some audiences at the time.
-Removed-I don't really count myself as a consumer of sc-fi - hence my failure to watch any Star Wars films (and despite my devotion to the Start Trek franchise) - but I must admit that I have started to dabble in TV sc-fi of late and have been getting some entertainment out of newish stuff - Revolution, Dark Matter, Killjoys - Firefly (admittedly, some years ago) - Almost Human - Minority Report (TV version) - Humans - Limitless - The 100 - Defiance...

Originally posted by FMFYou don't need the leather pants to watch them. Just put on a pair of trackies and relax.
