Into the Sunset: Spaghetti Westerns

Geographically, Spaghetti Westerns are filmed nowhere near the American West, but they’re obviously about/influenced by it.  These low-budget films introduced an international audience to cinematic and musical talents and maintain a significant place in film culture and history.

They’ve also produced some badass film posters.
