Duck You Sucker aka A Fistful of Dynamite
Rod Steiger and James Coburn are both great in this classic from spaghetti western master Sergio Leone. The town of "Mesa Verde" couldn't look less Mexican, but the acting and directing are great and the story (complete with a quote from Chairman Mao at the top of the film) is subversive, leftist and really fun, if maybe a bit too long. Not on the same level as Once Upon a Time in the West and the Man With no Name trilogy, but still better than most westerns.
7/10
