My grandfather got me into the old spaghetti westerns growing up.

"My Name Is Nobody" still remains one of my favorite movies today.

They are on the bargain rack of the local supermarket check out isles, next to the Time and Newsweek.

I love these movies as well. They are starting to come out more and more on DVD.

Great link to the old westerns, Ping! Man, what a flood of memories that little show brought back. It also answered a lot of questions that were in my mind about those old Heroes of mine. Great post, can't believe most are gone..
FeelingFroggy, That old movie, "My Name Is Nobody" or was it called, "A man Called Nobody" was one of my favorites. It's star was Henry Fonda, but can't recall the excellent co-star? I'd bet most never saw it and one should if you're a western fan..

It's called "My Name Is Nobody". The co-star you speak of goes by the name of Terence Hill. It's a very rare film to find in any stores.

Below is a link to the theatrical trailor for the film. The quality at the beggining is poor but it gets better.

Okay Ping,

You got me on that one. Nothing like the Statler Brothers to start my morning and the memories of those old Westerns.

If you have caught the new Brad Paisley Song/Video "Waiting for a Woman" You'll see one of those Hero's in a Cameo Appearance.

Did someone invoke the name of the Statler Brothers?

"Countin' flowers on the wall,
that don't bother me at all.
Playing solitaire till dawn,
with a deck of 51.
Smokin' cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo,
Now don't tell me, I have nothing to do"
[/singing]

Sorry, just one of my favorites

Ha yes I do remember those Saturday afternoons as a kid watching Gene or Roy. Those were the good ones. There were so many old westerns which were good. Must of shaped my growing up, as I did the cowboy thing (rodeo) and worked a ranch for a while. Nothing like clean air and hard work to shape a young man's mind!!

BillyD, since most folks now-a-days play solitaire on the computer, how many do you think will catch the irony in these lyrics?
