PS- I LOVE Fulci, i dont know how his SW's are, but just letting you know! In all honestly Fulci's westerns are sort of bottom barrel stuff. Four of the Apocalypse is ok thanks to Tomas Milian though. Try Sergio Leone's stuff or Sergio Corbucci. Django, The Great Silence, Companeros, The Mercenary. I'd also recommend Sergio Sollima if you can find any of his movies. A Bullet for the General is great too. | |

A Bullet for the General is great too. the only Fulci western i've seen is Four... and it drags quite a bit, its not bad and is worth a watch. but it certainly wasn't top tier. | |

| FOUR OF THE APOCALYPSE is fine. It's a little slow, but it's decent.
Getcha self some Sergio Corbucci flicks like DJANGO (Im wearing my DJANGO shirt right now!), THE GREAT SILENCE, COMPANEROS
And get Leone's "Dollars" trilogy.
Those will get you pointed in the right direction.
KEOMA is another really good one, but the music is pretty shitty. | |

| I would start with some of the lesser directors, then work my way up to Leone and Corbucci. If you start with the best, all the others will feel like a letdown(which they aren't). | |
