Quentin’s top 20 favorite Spaghetti Westerns

Exclusive Tarantino.info

For some reason I cut my finger last night, and all I could think of was “Basterds!”, which now seems to be in my vocabulary for situations like that. But let me get to the point, dear readers. Someone in the forums said he will pre-cream his pants over what I’m gonna write about now and the coming days and weeks, so I guess a word of warning is appropriate. Our sister project, The Spaghetti Western Database, and Quentin’s favorite website on the internet aside from porn, does have something we call the Essential Top 20 Films of the genre, which is a list compiled through a complicated formula from our community. Quentin is aware of that list, but his personal list does not match ours very well.

So without further fucking around here, please enjoy, exclusively at The SWDB: Quentin Tarantino’s Top 20 favorite Spaghetti Westerns (click), the first in a series of exclusive goodies, so stay tuned and spread the word! (Update: Click here to discuss)

    no new spaghetti westerns need to be made the classics need to be left alone, already over 300 were made.
