Was surprised to find it on Youtoob. There are probably better quality copies there too.
Was roaming around on YouTurd tonight and was browsing through western movies. Watched the first 5 or 6 minutes of one called The Last Wagon (1956) starring Richard Widmark. It looked interesting, so I bookmarked it for later.

Youtube had an "official" copy (1080p I think, with ads) of My Name is Nobody available, so I started watching that. I didn't realize it was a Sergio Leone movie. YES, pretty quirky. The beginning of the movie starts like a Sergio Leone western always does - The bad guys come rambling into to town in an long tense scene with no dialogue, they set up and confront the good guy... and then the furious lightning-fast shootout. Henry Fonda is as you'd expect - he was a decent actor, but tended to play everything pretty much the same way. Terrence Hill as "Nobody"... fuckin' goofy at times. Kinda strange for a Sergio Leone western. I know he's been in several westerns, but I've never seen them. I've mainly stuck to the more classic westerns from the 50's and early 60's, John Wayne stuff, etc. I realize I've never made much of an effort to watch more of the late 60's and early 70's spaghetti westerns.
So I went on a downloading spree tonight. Collecting up all kindsa weird shit. Already watched some of one Klaus Kinski western called "Coffin Full of Dollars". I fell asleep in the middle of it. No loss though, it was pretty damn bad.

I got some other movies with Terrence Hill (like the Trinity movies, Django, others) a bunch with Lee Van Cleef (like the Sabata movies), some with Klaus Kinski, a few of the "Sartana" movies (I forget who plays in them). I knew there were a lot of italian westerns, but hopefully the majority of them aren't as bad as the Klaus Kinski Coffin Full of Dollars one. My god, the theme song for it they play in the opening and closing credits is sooooo bad.
