great post this thanks , think I downloaded 11 westerns mentioned in earlier posts yesterday , this gives me a load more .
 
I've had that taped for a while. Will have to get round to watching it.
Last great Fillum I’ve seen. A true all time classic.
Not much love for El Dorado? One of my favourites although to be fair Howard Hawks did make it more or less a re write of hid Rio Bravo
Are they the drunk Mitchum and Martin sheriff ones? Old western titles are too similar.

You can visit the graveyard used in the film set in Spain. It's on my bucket list.
Theres loads of canny Italian ones, especially with Lee van Cleef in them. I'm trying to remember a bank robbery one from maybe 60s or 70s where there was a safr in an office about 4ft high and it had a miniature cannon on top, like an ornament or something. Sure it was set to fire at whoever put the wrong safe numbers in. Been on my mind for over 20 years and can't trace it.
