Western

High Plains Drifter is Clint Eastwood’s second directorial feature, following Play Misty for Me (1971), and it is arguably one of his boldest early works. On the surface, it is a revenge Western in the tradition of Sergio Leone’s spaghetti Westerns, but it quickly reveals itself to be something darker, stranger, and more allegorical.

There Was a Crooked Man… (1970) is a unique and subversive entry in the Western genre, directed by the veteran filmmaker Joseph L. Mankiewicz in his final directorial effort. Written by Bonnie and Clyde scribes David Newman and Robert Benton, the film straddles the line between traditional Western iconography and the dark, ironic revisionism that defined the genre during the late 1960s and early '70s.

For a Few Dollars More (Per qualche dollaro in più), released in 1965, is the second entry in Sergio Leone’s legendary Dollars Trilogy, a follow-up to A Fistful of Dollars (1964) and a prelude to The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966).

A Fistful of Dollars (Per un pugno di dollari, 1964) is more than just a Western—it is a seismic event in film history.

Cat Ballou is a genre-bending romp that mixes broad comedy, Western tropes, musical interludes, and subversive satire into a singular cinematic concoction. It was a bold departure from traditional Westerns of the era — irreverent and light-hearted, yet rooted in themes of justice, personal transformation, and frontier corruption.
