hi MS 45! have you tried any of the Guilanno Gemma spaghetti westerns, they are pretty good aand he is one of my favourite spaghetti western stars. here's a few of the good ones.

A Pistol For Ringo
The Return Of Ringo ( very good)
Day Of Anger ( with Lee Van Cleef)

another good one without gemma is " A Bullet For Sandoval"

i must say i prefer the more serious ones i pretty much hate the comedy spaghetti westerns, they are too stupid.
hope that helps if you like those i have loads more i can tell you about

But, like Deadie, there aren't many beyond the ones you typically hear about that I've seen.
One which does spring to mind, though, is a Hong Kong movie called Peace Hotel, which stars Chow Yun Fat as a reformed killer who runs a shelter for people seeking refuge from bandits and other villains. Like just about any HK flick it has its bizarre moments, but it nevertheless carries a strong spaghetti western vibe.
It also happens to be one of my favorite Chow Yun Fat flicks, so I recommend giving it a go.

yes lonnie i did speak to you about SW'S and creature as well. good stuff .

They forgot the peanut butter. What was I supposed to do? All I had left was olive oil, and not even EVOO!

I thought El Condor was pretty rad. Not technically a spaghetti western, but it's got the vibe of one. It's worth watching just to see Lee Van Cleef play a more comedic part (rather well I might add) Plus Jim Brown is an eternal bad-ass

An homage, sure. Though I think it's less an homage and more a deliberate attempt to make a spaghetti western, except with a Chinese cast. Unlike most frenetic, high-energy HK period films, this is more a melodramatic character piece with the occasional action setpiece which ends, like most spaghetti westerns, with a stand-off between the hero and a whole gang of baddies.

Some Chow fans complain that it doesn't meet the action standards of other classic Chow flicks (A Better Tomorrow, The Killer, Hardboiled, etc.) but what they don't seem to realize is that those films are JOHN WOO films first and foremost, and that Chow is merely the star. Chow co-wrote this flick, and while I believe Woo loaned some producorial assistance, he neither wrote nor directed it.

Just give it a look. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Takashi Miike's Sukiyaki Western Django (2007) is the director's homage to spaghetti westerns and features some input as well as an acting turn from Quentin Tarantino. I thought it was very inventive, I'd suggest checking that out as well

Yeah, I'm still a spaghetti western virgin myself.

I LOVE Sergio Leone's Dollars Trilogy though. Classic flicks.
The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly being my favorite of the three.
