Spaghetti-Western is the best genre ever !!

Western films have always been popular in Europe and in early 1960's first German made westerns appeared. During the years of 1964-1976 over 500 euro-westerns were made, most of them spanish-italian production but also German and French films. Filming locations were usually in Spain for desert filming, Pyrenees or Alps for snowy pictures and East-European landscape for hills and rivers (Bosnia-Herzegovina etc.)

From the start European westerns were very different than the typical movies of this genre. Music scores and artistic often shaky way of using the camera was a vital part of the films. Soon almost all great film directors of Europe started to make westerns too. Leone, Corbucci, Sollima, Valerii...

As a result many classic film were born. Of course everyone knows Sergio Leone and his works but there were a great deal of other good directors too. Ennio Morricone composed many unforgettable scores. Other famous composers of this era are Bruno Nicolai, Riz Ortolani, De Angelis and Sante Maria Romitelli.

Here are some of the best films and intros. Just pure art...
