I'm glad to see "Face to face" is featured in your "to see" list, meaning you still remember it. I saw it on a cheapo spanish DVD edition (available at http://www.divisared.es/ , but it has no subtitles) and was amazed at how good it is. Hope you can see it soon and we can talk about it.
About learning of other films, you can try this page, they have about 200 titles listed:
http://www.spaghetti-western.net/index.php/Main_Page
Can't really add anything to that list other than to say 'phew, that's alot of westerns.' But I did recently get The Good the Bad and the Ugly Soundtrack, A Fistful of Dollars Soundtrack, and I borrowed an Ennio Morricone Cd off a friend of mine. Great music by Morricone, the track Ecstasy of Gold from The Good the bad and the ugly is perhaps my favourite; very inspiring.
Wow, that is exactly what I'm looking for Neville. The webpage gave me a link to 526 Italian Westerns (http://german.imdb.com/List?genres=Western&&tv=on&&countries=Italy&&nav=/Sections/Genres/Western/include-commoncountries&&heading=5;Italy;Western) at imdb.com.
FACE TO FACE has been on my list for a long time as you know Neville. Maybe one day I'll find a copy without paying to much. Thanks.

Dean THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY is the best of the best and Ennio Morricone created some of the greatest stuff ever recorded.

You don't have a single title I recognize from Robert Woods, who, along with John Ireland, did a dozen or so Spaghetti's in the '60s & '70s.
Woods played in "Where the Boys Are" & was Henry Fonda's pilot in "Battle of The Bulge".
Edmonto Amati directed him in "Quel Caldo Maledetto Giorno Di Fuoco", which I don't have a translation for --
One that was released in English was "Seven Guns for the MacGregors", which has the wonderful effect of a family of kilted, red-haired gunslingers riding hellbent for leather --

I've also noticed that alot of his music is working it's way into the popular music scene, with a song/s by ex british dance act 'The Future Sound of London' that they did a few years back, one of which is called 'My Kingdom' incorporating some Morricone and Vangelis music and the start of a Massive Attack hip hop set starting with Ecstasy of Gold [which also is well done by Metallica on the S&M cd]
Hey, IFC is going to be running a new documentary called The Spaghetti West starting on Sept. 10. For three Saturdays they will be running a spaghetti western on Saturday night also.
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
For a Few Dollars More
The Big Gundown
Check out the schedule at ifctv.com.

Encore Westerns is also doing a special Sergio Leone films during August. Just wish Encore Westerns would really dig up those 600 Italian Westerns that are out there somewhere and play them. Their not as good as Leone, but still very entertaining.

Oh, and knowing your interest in westerns, I have to mention this, Scott: I recently saw the Andersonville (1996) miniseries directed by John Frankenheimer and they are nothing short of fantastic. Don't expect many western elements, though, they play more like a prison flick, but they are very, very good.
I have a bunch Western mini-series, Western series, and TV shows still to view like:
Lonesome Dove
Deadwood
Gunsmoke (to many episodes to begin)
Gene Autry
Hopalong Cassidy
Roy Rogers
(Also missed the recent TNT Western. Can't remember the name of it. It is suppose to be very good.)
Only a few American Western movies that I have yet to see are:
The Hunting Party
The Train Robbers (John Wayne)
Monte Walsh
Jubal
Man From Laramie (may have seen it, not sure)
Spaghetti Westerns are the last frontier for new viewing from the Western genre.

SIX GUNS FOR THE MAGREGORS!!
SIX GUNS FOR THE MAGREGORS!!
Scott, if you or anybody else have seen something that looks like Shakespeare's "King Lear" set in the American west, excluding the more recent version with Patrick Stewart, then you have seen "Man from Laramie" w/ Donald Crisp in the King Lear part, and instead of three daughters, Jimmy Stewart, Arthur Kennedy, and Alex Nicol play the three son-like characters. Probably the best remembered scene is Alex Nicol shooting Jimmy Stewart through the hand, for some transgression Stewart has committed.
Thanks Peter for the SIX GUNS FOR THE MAGREGORS suggestion. I have the music to it on CD, but haven't seen the film yet.
BoyScoutKevin it dosn't ring a bell, so I'll be checking it out. Hopefully on AMC or some where.
As long as you're counting the 70's, you could include Red Sun. True it includes a samurai, but it has enough spaghetti elements even without the meatballs. This is actually a decent movie, but if you have TGTBATU on here, then anything goes.
Matter of fact I just rented "The Good the Bad and the Ugly" today. I havn't watched it yet but I hope it 's good.
Actually I am positive this is my first western.
You can't go wrong with that one, is a fantastic film.
Wow ! First Western? Happy trails to you. I really like them Westerns. There are so many good Westerns especially from the 60's and 70's. There are many classics before the 60's that are also very good. Some recent films you might find on rental DVD are:
Open Range
Alamo
The Missing
Tombstone
Dances With Wolves
Geronimo
Wild Bill
Young Guns
Unforgiven
Quick and the Dead
Silverado
Wyatt Earp
Then you have Encore Western Channel and AMC plays a lot of Westerns.
