Defined in the glossary: Spaghetti western
The spaghetti western attends its own funeral, cracking jokes. Fonda, Terence Hill, and Leone's fingerprints everywhere.
Sergio Leone produced this and reportedly could not keep his hands off it, and it plays as the spaghetti western writing its own obituary with a grin. Henry Fonda is an ageing gunfighter who wants nothing more than a boat to Europe and a quiet retirement; Terence Hill is Nobody, a fast, beaming kid who worships him and would rather the old man go out facing a hundred and fifty riders alone, so history has a legend to remember. It is a comedy and an elegy in the same breath, Fonda's weary myth handing the genre over to the jokey Trinity-era version that killed it. Morricone scores the Wild Bunch's charge to a warped Ride of the Valkyries and it is glorious. The affectionate goodbye the whole cycle deserved.

Filed alongside
Sabata
A gadget-toting gunfighter blackmails a whole town. Lee Van Cleef, having an obvious blast.
Death Rides a Horse
Revenge, Van Cleef, and a score Tarantino lifted wholesale.
El Topo
Jodorowsky's mystical, violent acid western. It essentially invented the midnight movie.
Django
A coffin, a machine gun, and mud everywhere. Banned in Britain until 1993.
They Call Me Trinity
The comedy turn that ended the cycle by making it impossible to take seriously.
A Bullet for the General
The most openly political of the Zapata cycle, and the sharpest.
Duck, You Sucker
Leone's revolution film. A Mexican bandit and an IRA dynamiter blow up the establishment together.
The Great Silence
Corbucci in the snow. The ending would never have cleared an American studio.
Keoma
Late, strange, half-sung by a folk narrator. Castellari's best film.
Companeros
Zapata western with Franco Nero and a very good Morricone theme.
Face to Face
Sollima's smartest western: watch a decent man discover he likes it.
Day of Anger
A gunfighter mentors a despised young man, then has to face what he created. Van Cleef at his best.
