They were made in Italy. Spain also, but mainly italy.

Sergio Leone hated the name.

The scene you describe sounds very much like FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE with Lee Van Cleef.

I love westerns from the 60s and 70s...my favourite being Sam Peckinpah's absolutely amazing THE WILD BUNCH.

I love TG, TB & TU!, also love fistful of dollars.

My other favourites are:
Outlaw Josey Wales
Unforgiven

Seeing a pattern here? Clint eastwood!

Other than that..not really fussed about them. Confused

'Make me three coffins..sorry make that 4' is a classic. Smile

Shane was a great western with Alan Ladd, maybe my favourite. But I like all the Clint Eastwood ones as well. He was influenced by the old Henry Fonda Westerns.
Who shot Liberty Valance is very good also.

Can't believe no one has mentioned "A Fistful Of Dynamite", or ,"Once Upon A Time In The West". Cool

'There's two kinds of people in the world my friend; those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig." (Clint, Good, Bad, Ugly)

"I don't think it's funny, you laughing at my mule." (Clint, Fist full of dollars)

No-one does it better than Clint, though saying that they're all rip-offs from Japanese cinema anyhoo.

I actually like Young Guns 1/2 as it was great to see them picked off one by one....Doc's famous quote from part 2 "You drove a 15 year old boy straight to his grave and the rest of us...straight to hell." Classic western cheese-fest.
