Welcome!

You've found A Fistful of Pasta, a (sometimes irreverent) look at the genre films known as Spaghetti Westerns, or Eurowesterns.

There were over 500 westerns made in Europe between 1965 and 1975. Some were serious artistic achievements in filmmaking, completely redefining the western film genre, and elevating it to an art form. Others were simply B-movies of varying quality, and in some cases, worse. And for better or worse, we love them all (well, most of 'em, anyways), and if you're still reading this, you probably do, too.

If you have any questions, suggestions, corrections, or see something that doesn't look right, please drop us a line at the contact page. We'd love to hear from you.

For every last thing you'd ever want to know about these films, the best place on the web is The Spaghetti Western Database. If you haven't been there yet, you're missing out on a great resource for these films.

Sebastian of the SWDB has been gracious enough to let us have our own forum over at the SWDB forums, so I'll be redirecting that Fernando Sancho link in the sidebar over there and taking down the new one I just set up. Post any of your thoughts about what you see here over there. You can get there here, too.
