-| '''How I started watching Spaghetti Westerns.'''
-|-
-|
-I entered the genre from the east door...
-|-
-|
-First of all, I was a great jidaigeki fan. Akira Kurosawa is just without words and one of my favourite films is Yojimbo with Toshiro Mifune!
-|-
-|
-So, one day when I was around 12 my father had an inspiration...
-|-
-|
-'''Dad:''' You know son, there is a western themed remake of Yojimbo. It's called "A Fistful of Dollars" and was made by Sergio Leone.
-It's Italian.
-'''Salty Jim:''' An Italian Western?
-'''Dad:''' Sure! They are called Spaghetti Westerns!
-'''Salty Jim:''' Ok... Show me!
-|-
-|
-The next day or so my father went to a video club. Asked about the film and returned with a DVD. We watched it the same night.
-|-
-|
-'''Salty Jim:''' Wow! That was cool!
-'''Dad:''' Yes, but it was the wrong film! The guy from the club has no idea. That was "For a few Dollars more". The sequel!
-'''Salty Jim:''' You have to go again then!
-|-
-|
-The next week we went together. We stood there and searched the movie in the western section, when my father said full with excitment:
-|-
-|
-'''Dad:''' That's what we are gonna watch tonight!
-'''Salty Jim:''' But that's called The good, the bad and the Ugly.
+A small special about them is maybe also in the plans...
-'''Dad:''' Exactly! And it's much much better!
 |-
-|
-And so I fell in love with Sergio Leone and later with the entire genre.
-The next films were A fistful of Dollars (at last), Once upon a time in the west, Duck, you sucker and then... I lost counting.
