Matthias Kuennecke - (Database page | Contributions)
Pirat.jpg

I'm a fan of all kinds of Euro films. Very often I find myself lost in the Spaghetti Western chaos of Italian, English and German titles: Django, Ringo or Rocco? Sabata, Sartana or Santana? 1.000, 10.000 or 100.000 Dollars? Did I see that film already or not? The SWDB is enormously helpful, I couldn’t live without it. I am located in Berlin and work in the music industry. Unfortunately not with Morricone, Cipriani, Ortolani or Fidenco, but I love them all and will take care especially of the SWDB OST section. May also write some film reviews soon.

  • Matthias’ name in the database is Matthias.

And he likes pizza.

I am probably the amateur of the group. I'm not only one of the youngest but one of the newer fans of the genre. I started with The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, then continued from then on. And though I have not seen as many as most of us fans, I'm working on it and have been expanding ever since I saw the Leone films. I will continue to do so with pride and no regrets.

Peter's name on the database is korano.

I am a 16 year old- student from Vienna (Austria). The first SW I watched was “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly”, which is still my favourite one. I really liked it, so I continued watching, first with the other Leone-Films, then with Sergio Corbuccis “Django” and “The Great Silence”. I am trying to contribute something to this database by designing new graphics, polishing up old pages and adding more Trailers & Clips to the database. I am also responsible for the SWDB-YouTube-Chanel.

Carl Mörth - (Forum Profile | Database page | Contributions)
Who.jpg

I'm the youngest of the group. My first SW was like most, The Good, The Bad The Ugly but my favorite is Django. I also really like Gialli. Much like Yodlaf, I like European (basically Italian and Spanish) Cult Cinema from the 60's, 70's and sometimes 80's but again like Yodlaf, there's something special about Spaghetti Westerns! The longer you dig in the cave of rare Spaghs, the better it gets!

Dirk Marburger - (Forum Profile | Database page | Contributions)
Who.jpg

I was and still am a great film buff, and the western was always my favorite genre. My ongoing passion for the genre got new nourishment since I developed a special love for the Italian variant of the western a few years ago. Entertainment that's what life is about and I think I will have a great future.

ChrisC.jpg

I am a musician, film buff, writer, occasional actor, and general loafer who enjoys being all of the above--and especially the latter! My obsession with Italian Westerns began in the early 1970's when, as a young lad, I saw a screening of Romolo Guerrieri's JOHNNY YUMA at a makeshift, outdoor theater in a small town in Oklahoma. Shortly after seeing that film I experienced the works of Sergio Leone via TV broadcasts of ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST and the "Dollars" films and I haven't been the same ever since. I wouldn't have it any other way.

I (36, New Jersey) am an avid movie watcher and I enjoy several genres outside of spaghetti westerns. Mostly what I will watch are 80's comedies, Hammer and Amicus horror, Shaw Brothers, Toho kaiju, Ray Harryhausen/Willis O'Brien movies, the Hellraiser series, and the works of George Romero.
