73. Ride the High Country -- This early Peckinpah films seemed kind of ordinary when I first started watching it but it's really quite special.  Not as brutal as say The Wild Bunch but packs a good punch.

The trailer is too cheesy and has some spoiler-ish elements, so I didn't post it.

Oh, God, the infamous soundtrack!  When I watched it I first thought, "It's not that bad..." it reminded me of the band Comus.  But the vocal bits started to get really grating after a while.  The music sans vocals is cool, though, and I do like the film.

Yeah it's amazing how the soundtrack can be so good and so bad at the same time.  I actually like the parts with the female vocals.  I think her voice has a strange and eerie quality to it that suits the film well.  The male vocals, on the other hand, are truly awful and I could do without them.  Still, Keoma is a great flick.

76.  Black Jack

This great but not so well known spaghetti western directed by Gianfranco Baldanello is a violent, gritty, dark, revenge tale with a great music score that has some cool organ parts.   The ending even has a touch of Edgar Allan Poe thrown in for good measure.  This one might be hard to find, but it's  worth seeking out.

"The cowboys" is a good one. 

Save for "Cahill, US Marshall", I can't stand the string of cheap westerns the Duke made during that era, but with "The cowboys" you can tell they were trying for something very different.

81.  The Price of Power

an excellent spaghetti western directed by Tonino Valerii and starring Giuliano Gemma

82.  Get Mean

This is the only blatantly supernatural spaghetti western I have seen.  It actually reminds me a lot of "Army of Darkness."  Tony Anthony is great.  He's probably the most under-rated spaghetti western actor I can think of.  This movie has been under-rated too, mostly by people who don't get it, and people who don't appreciate weird westerns.

What about "McKenna's Gold"? It's not without flaws, specially a great supporting cast wasted, but it's lots of fun. It's about a sheriff (Gregory Peck) who accidentally finds out about a lost cannon of indian gold and is coerced by some bandits to led them there.

It has many things to like, from the cast, the Indiana Jones-like plot, the quirky visuals and the supernatural touches.

are we allowing modern westerns? films like 'bring me the head of alfredo garcia' or 'no country for old men'? or how about 'the proposition' (right time, but wrong side of the world)?

all three of those are great.
