I remember watching SUPER FUZZ as a kid on HBO in the early 80's and loving it.
Probably watched it everytime it was on.

I'd have to say my favorite these days alternates between DJANGO & TGS.

DJANGO is one of those films I can watch over & over and always dig it's coolness.

TGS, on the other hand, is a flick I've only seen once and still just relish the feeling I got after that one viewing.

I've got the DVD, but the lasting impact of that first time is something I want to savor for awhile longer.

It has been nagging at me to watch it again lately.

It's cool that Corbucci can handle more lighthearted fair like COMPANEROS & THE MERCENARY with such apparent ease, but then handle the bleakness of TGS just as well.

I've heard some of his films are complete shit, but I've yet to see one I haven't enjoyed.

As of this moment I'd probably rate them as follows.

1. The Mercenary
2. The Great Silence
3. Companeros
4. Django

But I rate these like I'd rate my Leone top 4, I love every single one of them and 4th place isn't a bad place to be. I have Navajo Joe, Minnesota Clay, The Hellbenders and The Specialist lined up to watch.

For me it's Django, with The Great Silence nipping at its heels.

Companeros is up there too. Those three are really close together.

HATED The Hellbenders!
