Where did a subgenre of Western films, Spaghetti Western originate?

The Good, the Bad & the Ugly.

I wish we could be less hysterical about cultural things. I read 'spaghetti western' and thought 'how long before someone complains that this "cultural stereotyping" and it will be renamed "post Columbian American cinema influenced by Italian Artists set in the nineteenth century"' to avoid offending anyone?

The man with no name (Eastwood) so cool .

My favourite was Fistful of dollars

love me some westerns, new or old.

Clint should get an Honorary David di Donatello Award for putting Italy on the map with popcorn entertainment after the country’s serious emergence with a postwar black-n-white poignant-drama film industry. They had to get an American actor to clinch it. Mastroianni just didn’t cut it in a cowboy hat. How many westerns has Loren done?

Dogsmum, my brother Loved that show! Everything it was on, we just Had to watch it as a family!!

HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER. CLINT EASTWOOD STARRED AND DIRECTED IT. BURNT THE WHOLE SET DOWN AT THE END.

James, that's a favorite of mine as well!!!

I spent so much time triple watching those western movies in theatres in my youth. I believe it was time well wasted. It was the innocence and wanting to be adult but enjoying a fantasy I liked.

OK! Spaghetti westerns are of huge interest to me ! I and my super good looking husband have been watching these movies for many years. Django (the original), Death rides a horse, The grand duel, The Sabata films, The Trinity films, Companeros, Keoma, Texas Adios, and anything by Sergio Leone,.

Clint Eastwood was my first crush in Rawhide, anyone remember it.

my favourite was A fist Full of Dynamite/ Duck you Sucker
