# Spaghetti westerns — Leone, Corbucci, Sollima, and the second tier

> Leone defined the form: the trilogy with Eastwood, then Once Upon a Time in the West, then the gangster elegy of Once Upon a Time in America. But Sergio Corbucci made Django and The Great Silence — both bleaker and stranger than Leone. Sergio Sollima's trilogy is tighter than it gets credit for. Morricone scored most of it. The second tier runs deep: Damiani, Castellari, Petroni, Questi. The list filters Italian-language westerns and action films from the genre's working years, 1964–1978.
