Why I prefer the black-and-white version of Kill Bill's big sword fight - The Quentin Tarantino Archives For over two decades, Kill Bill has split the fan world in two – like Hanzo steel. As you remember, the movie was released in two volumes, Volume 1 was released in 2003 and Volume 2...

As an appetizer to our upcoming review of KILL BILL: THE WHOLE BLOODY AFFAIR, here's an "opinion piece" on why we prefer the black-and-white version of the House of Blue Leaves fight sequence www.tarantino.info/2026/04/why-...

Pues me he empapado enterita "De hombre a hombre". No puedo toparme un (spaghetti)western en la tele y mirar para otro lado 😅

A still of Clint Eastwood in his lone gunman role in A Fistful of Dollars (1964)

A Fistful of Dollars (1964) Not the best but perhaps the seminal "Spaghetti Western." Clint Eastwood plays the taciturn gunman playing two factions against each other in his first starring role. A rip-off of Kurosawa's Yojimbo to the degree they ended up paying him part of the profits. #Filmsky 📽️

great film indeed, there's a very good BluRay of it, too

Poster for Closed Circuit. A stylized drawing of a pistol, with film reels over the cylinder to make it look kinda like a movie camera. At the end of the barrel a drop of blood. Tagline is ‘going to the movies can be murder.’

Change of plans with my movie watching.

#NowWatching Closed Circuit (1978)

Italian Made-for-TV murder mystery about a cop trying to determine which movie-goer shot a man in the audience of a spaghetti western.

One of those random finds while scrolling Tubi.

sounds really cool

A Fistful of Dollars / Per un pugno di dollari / 荒野の用心棒 : the theme (cover by Ryuki) YouTube video by ryukibass

The amazing Ryukibass outta Japan and his cover of Morricone's Fistful Of Dollars theme. Ryuki plays his bass as a classical guitar! He has recorded loads of Spaghetti Western theme covers. Magnificent!

Picking a random film from my collection to show off for no real reason! Year 2, Day #154

"If You Meet Sartana Pray for Your Death" (Gianfranco Parolini/1968) The first film in the Sartana series and a great spaghetti western. Check it out if you get the chance.

Heads or Tails is a love letter to Spaghetti Westerns of the past **The Verdict** "A love letter to Spaghetti Westerns, Heads or Tails is a gorgeous fantasy of love and dreams in a timeless genre." Region Free Score ★★★★★ 4/5 🎦 ****Independence & Ethics**** Region Free is entirely reader-supported and maintains full editorial independence. For more on my scoring and standards, see the Review Guide. I grew up with Spaghetti Westerns, and most of them weren't great. But watch something as a child enough, and you grow a fondness for it, even if later on you acknowledge it isn't exactly of the highest quality. For me, it was every cowboy film not made in America. The real thing came later, and they're an entirely different kind of love affair altogether. I mean the Eurotrash films shot in Italy, Spain, and Turkey, with questionable budgets, charismatic leading men who didn't speak a word of English, and baffling plots that were chaotic genre cocktails but also undisputably sincere. In that sense, I was predisposed to love Heads or Tails, which might sound like a backhanded compliment. As if to suggest it is a bad film, only unintentionally good through the eyes of nostalgia. That's not the case. In fact, Heads or Tails is a terrific picture, but I'm not certain it's for everyone. Heads or Tails is both a love letter and an utterly sincere emulation of the Spaghetti Western. It is as fascinated by the elasticity of genre conventions as anything made by Sergio Gorbucco or Raoul Walsh. As directed by Alessio Rigo de Righi and Matteo Zoppis, Heads or Tails skips and hops between tone and style without a care in the world. One minute it's a comedy, the next an Acid Western, and perhaps a tragedy the next. Who can say? The plot is as freewheeling and inconsequential as they come. It is the early 1900s, and Buffalo Bill (a tremendous John C. Reilly) is on tour with his famous Wild West Show. He's a braggart and swindler, though deep down he wishes he could be like the hero he writes in his dime novels. At a show in Rome, Bill challenges a local squire to a duel to see whose cowboys are tougher. Plans build upon schemes, and before you know it, the squire lies dead, and two lovers, Rosa (Nadia Tereszkiewicz) and Santino (Alessandro Borghi), are on the run. Partially to blame for all of this, Bill is hired to pursue. The film hops between the pursuer and the pursued, though it's clear that structure isn't of great concern. Reilly plays the part as if in a straight comedy, while the lovers are far more operatic. They all feel out of time and place, as if some fantastic figures out of an old world who refuse to accept that everyone else has moved on. The result is an acquired taste. Those looking for a straight western will undoubtedly be disappointed, while those hoping for something trippier won't find it here, either. But those of us who love the hopeless romanticism of this genre will find much to adore. This is a film drenched in bittersweet melancholy, where every gag is a means to keep the show going just a little bit longer. Once the laughter stops, someone has to accept we've all got to go home. Reilly is a generous actor, and it's never clearer than it is here. He's a huge presence; his mere stature throws the world askew when he walks on screen. Yet he never attempts to steal the film. Instead, he uses it to throw focus on our desperate lovers and the absurdity of it all. He is funny, tragic, and a little sad all at once. It's a wonderful performance from one of our great chameleons. Tereszkiewicz and Borghi are equally lovable, especially as the film allows for them to play with their chaotic chemistry. As in other great Spaghetti Westerns, there's little chance for a happy ending on the frontier, but that won't stop anyone from living it up while they can. Heads or Tails was shot in Tuscany sometime in 2024. It didn't see a full release until Cannes in 2025, and now on digital a full year later. Years ago, it would have found a second life on the shelves of rental stores, where it would grow in estimation as curious hands discovered it. Today, it seems less likely. I hope many will give this curious, lovely film a chance. It is a small miracle that it even exists. It isn't perfect, and it doesn't always make sense, but it has a breath of the old world in it, and that counts for a lot.

Sumptuously filmed and wonderfully acted, this melancholy Spaghetti Western is a treat for fans of the great European tradition.

Starring Rod Steiger - BOTD in 1925

«Keoma» es un «spaghetti western» postrero que, con la excusa de la peste, se arropa con andrajos posapocalípticos y halla su mesías en un Nero de espíritu libre. Hay grandeza en sus imágenes, potentes sin alardes, y quizá también en esa música tan peregrina que interpela a espectador y personajes.

A Reason to Live, a Reason to Die (1972)

Tonight’s watch: Think “The Dirty Dozen” colliding with a spaghetti western. Quite the coincidence that they both sported Telly Savalas.

Since getting into Westerns in December both Hang 'em High, and The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly have both been incredibly high points in a great new (to me) genre. I've now seen TGTBATU 8 times since December. I need to revisit Hang 'em High soon.
