It lacks substance. There's nothing to take from it. It teaches you nothing, honors nothing, reinforces no values that you can apply to your own life and worldview. No depth to the plot or characters. Pure entertainment with a memorable soundtrack.

It wasn't easy to win the land or live in it, and towns didn't build themselves. It took a certain kind of person to survive out there and prosper.
John Ford even made it clear throughout his career that he respected the indians, but to respect them, you have to understand that they were warrior peoples.

Most allow it to happen because the government tells them they have to and that it's an American value. It's not exactly a fight and the people aren't a foreign nation gaining territory and building their own towns and cities, they just join into American ones, pledging allegiance to the winning side.

Westerns are not defined by what they teach you. You are 100% allowed to hate the movie or think it was "meh". You're 100% allowed to think other Westerns are better, but saying that The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly is not a Western because it doesn't teach you a lesson is not a sound argument.

NTA, but I have well over 350 Spaghetti Western Films in my personal collection. Leone is legendary for a reason, and the Corbucci films are great for their more violent nature, but there are a lot of other directors that are also quite good (many of which have created films that are considered classics of the genre).
There are too many to list, but shortlist:
Alfonso Balcazar
Demofilio Fidani (Sometimes credited as Miles Deem)
Duccio Tessari
Enzo G. Castellari
Ferdinando Baldi
Gianfranco Parolini (often credited as Frank Kramer)
Giuliano Carnimeo (often credited as Anthony Ascott)
Tonino Valerii
There are more, but at that point I should just make a spreadsheet.

There are a lot of very prolific directors in the genre. It's true that some Spaghetti Westerns are better than others. I'm not a huge fan of some of the later slapstick films, but there are so many good ones that I would have to disagree that "most" are "shit movies". I don't hate American Westerns or other Euro Westerns (which can be difficult to classify and often crossover with Spaghetti Westerns since productions were typically international), but as a bonafide nerd of the genre, I can confidently say that, in my humble opinion, Spaghetti Westerns are typically better.

I don't know why you think of it like this in the first place. The indians (collectively?) are "the weak"? The settlers fought various indian tribes for 300 years, they weren't powerless. They fought with some tribes against other tribes. The territory of a given tribe at the time of contact with the settlers was whatever territory they could hold after having demolished the previous tribe.
> but there is a certain symmetry in white Americans being supplanted by descendants of the people they and other Europeans conquered.
Can you elaborate on that? You're talking about people creating a nation vs others joining that nation to become a part of its people under a shared government. What's the symmetry?

Also, Spaghetti Western soundtracks abso-fucking-lutely mog American Western soundtracks. It's not even fucking close. Sure, that includes Ennio Morricone, but he's not the only one. The work of Riz Ortolani, Nico Fidenco, Francesco De Masi, Bruno Nicolai, and Alessandro Alessandroni (and his work both with Morricone as well as Cantori Moderni), all deserve a close listen. Spaghetti Westerns are an incredible study on how much weight a great score can pull in the production of a film.

agree to disagree. I don't think the value of a film is based on the lesson it teaches. It would be a more important consideration if I was deciding what to show children or a neuro-divergent individual, but I think films can be great for quite a lot of reasons. That said, I think the earlier films in the "dollars" trilogy were better.

Gladly. Most of the films go by several titles because the films would be re-released under multiple names, plus each country had a name (or multiple names) in their language. If you have trouble tracking them down, I can tell you what they also go under, but here are 15. These are in no particular order. I'm just looking down my list and cherry picking what stands out to me.

1) A Bullet For the General - by Damiano Damiani
2) The Five Man Army - Don Taylor
3) A Pistol For Ringo - Duccio Tessari
4) A Pistol For Ringo - Duccio Tessari
5) Keoma - Enzzzo G Castellari (this one can be polarizing. The use of slowmotion in the cinematography can sometimes be laughable and the soundtrack is...strange...but I keep coming back to this one so I'll list it)
6) Kill Them All and Come Back Alone - Enzo G. Castellari
7) Sabata - Gianfranco Parolini
8) Return of Sabata - Gianfranco Parolni
9) Adios Sabata - Gianfranco Parolini
10) Death Rides a Horse - Giulio Petroni
11) Boot Hill - Giuseppe Colizzi
12) Ace High - Giuseppe Colizzi
13) The Big Gundown - Sergio Solima
14) My Name is Nobody - Tonino Velerii (Stay with this one. It starts off kind of stupid and comedic, but it comes around)
15) Arriva Sabata - Tulio Demicheli

again, agree to disagree. I think that's the heart and soul of an educational film, but Westerns can be character pieces, or tragedies, or time period vignettes, etc.
I think that American Westward expansion is a fascinating topic and to glibly sum up that complicated topic with a lesson that can be wrapped up in a bow eschews the complexity of the era. The American tendency to portray westerns as clear cut good guys vs bad guys is a bit too facile to me. I like the fact that Spaghetti Westerns often feature despicable characters as the hero. Characters are sometimes motivated by virtues, but are just as often motivated by money, greed, lust, or personal glory. Westward expansion was largely stimulated by the gold rush of '49 which was not a virtuous motivation. I'm not saying that Spaghetti Westerns are at all historically accurate, but I think the fact that they sometimes DON'T teach a lesson feels more poignant, and tends to stimulate more thought after watching a film than something that portrays white hats vs black hats and the moral of the story is to keep your word.

People argue that westerns died due to a lack of relevancy or oversaturation, but the truth is that westerns didn't die, it's just that they had to wear different clothes in response to suburban and urban living being the norm and technology and industry becoming a closer part of our lives. Cowboy stories became cop shows, police procedurals, capeshit and spyshit, and crime shows like Breaking Bad.

That isn't the case though. There's far more complexity in American westerns, in the characterizations, the morals, and the topics and themes presented. In the spaghetti westerns I've seen, they're more likely than American westerns to have simple do-good heroes and "evil just to be evil" villains, only their do-good protagonists are useless in the real world where problems aren't solved exclusively by shooting dozens of bad guys with perfect accuracy

And Spaghetti Westerns were what became of Samurai Films, but I wouldn't say that A Fistful of Dollars is a Samurai film.
Most stories can be broken down into basic structures that are essentially a retelling of a classic tale. What makes a western a western or a sci fi film a sci fi film has more to do with the setting and how the story is dressed up than where the story comes from.

Probably not, but it is unintentionally comedic, and this is part of the charm of the movie. It's entertaining for its goofiness and that weird 70s Italian style. The action is fun, but seeing a guy go up against 40 armed men in a big showdown doesn't make you think "wow, what great writing." There's a racism angle to the story, but it's mostly superficial and just serves as a set-up for the shooting. Compare it to something like Flaming Star or The Unforgiven (1960) and how they handle the topic of half-breeds and prejudice in a more grounded and realistic way.
