A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS (1964)

Certification15 Our Rating

Much imitated but never surpassed first film in Sergio Leone's iconic trilogy starring the 'man with no name' as a nomadic loner who rides into a small border town ripped apart by two feuding crime families. Brilliant, stylish, bloody and proof that Europeans make better Westerns than the Americans! find out more...

A FISTFUL OF DYNAMITE (1971)

Certification15 Our Rating

A bandit leader and a fugative IRA man join together to rob a bank in an explosive spagehtti western set in Mexico in 1913. Having already, in Once Upon a Time in the West, taken energetic liberties with the typical Fordian Western, it's not surprising that Leone should have taken a sideswipe at another of the director's stereotypes, the revolutionary Irishman, in the second part of his trilogy of political fables. But the specific IRA background of Coburn's Sean is as ultimately unimportant as find out more...

A FISTFUL OF FINGERS (1994)

Certification15 Our Rating

A low budget spoof of westerns, A Fistful of Fingers is not so much a story as a series of absurd filmic jokes. Made for 10 grand and shot entirely on location.....in Somerset! This is actually quite funny... though I wasn't entirely sober when I watched it. Made by the dude who did Spaced. So, y'know, check it out cos Spaced is really funny. (And one of the 20th Century Flicks team painted the totem pole! ...yeah, I know it's not that great a claim to fame but what the hell) find out more...

AMERICAN OUTLAWS (2002)

Certification12 Our Rating

A fast paced western with as many quips as it has action set pieces (and it has a lot) cannot disguise the fact that this is a rather pointless exercise, trading as it does on the notorious legend of the James/Younger gang for no discernible reason. Having said which, despite that verbal 'arse whoopin' American Outlaws is pretty good fun. find out more...
