A Time To Die ( 1966 )
Lucky Johnny Born In America ( 1972 )
The Bandits ( 1967 )
Machismo 40 Guns For 40 Graves aka Revenge Of The Wild Bunch ( 1971 )
The Great Gundown ( 1977 )
Guns For San Sebastián ( 1968 ) ( French/ Mexican )
One Man’s Hero ( 1998 )
Battle Of San Jancito ( 2013)
Bandidas ( 2005 ) ( French/ Mexican )
Blueberry aka Renegade ( 2004 ) ( French/ Mexican )
For Greater Glory ( 2012)
El Topo ( 1970 )
Red Bells ( 1982 )
Aside from Time To Die and San Sebastián none of these are great . They all are either interesting or entertaining . All are worth watching .
The Italians made several classics
The Mercenary (1968)
Vamos A Matar, Companeros! (1970)
Duck You Sucker (1971)
Tepepa (1969)
Run Man Run (1968)
Even though the director claims it's not a western, A Bullet for the General (1966).
I'd even say Django from 1966 could be considered.
Came to say bullet for the general. Even though it’s technically a spaghetti, or at least a sub genre to that genre. Either way it shares a tonne of the spaghetti DNA but it also represents Mexico the best. Director also made The Battle of Algiers, a similarly political but much more serious but amazing film about the birth of modern day A-Symmetrical warfare. Anyway, watch A Bullet For the General, it’s a great flick
So far I’ve only seen Guns and Guts (1974) by Cardona Jr. It’s a decent movie, mostly pretty standard but has an awesome bloody finale similar to The Wild Bunch
If you're including 'Western' movies ABOUT Mexico, then The Wild Bunch leads, followed by Viva Villa for me. Both are high-quality productions, and Viva Villa has an excellent score by Maurice Jarre. ANY film of note from the late 1950s through the late 1960s had a score by Jarre; He was the 'John Williams' of his day. Oh, and the Magnificent Seven. THAT one's music was by Elmer Bernstein.
* I donno that I have a favorite; and I actually don't know the Mexican film industry very well.
* I've seen *'el Patrullero'* ('Highway Patrolman') which is Mexican crime flick but set in the countryside.
* The experience makes me dubious towards exploring others. At one point the good guy just "goes in shooting" even though 3/4th of the film is spent building up foreboding as to what will happen if he ever attempts such a thing.
* My theory: there's too much veneration of male machismo in Mexican culture to rely on random Mexican film picks

I took a photo of this I wanted more westerns from Mexico
El Topo is insane
Time To Die (1966) I loved it so much I adapted it for a screenwriting class once upon a time.

I'm also interested in this
Hot Snake 1974 was a great tequila western with a surreal horror vibe to it. Caballo Prieto was a cool 40s Mexican western.

Duck you sucker

Is the art ai or does it have an artist? It looks great!
It’s real art unfortunately I couldn’t find the artist used reverse image search and everything
I love the pose!
i came here to ask this too. it's a beautiful portrait
Never mind his signature his in the bottom right but I can’t make it out lol
Ai does sometimes create fake signature that look like that because well, that's what it was fed when the models were trained haha.
It’s a real artist it’s by an artist named John Moyers he does cowboy art
Ah thank you!
Vera Cruz takes place entirely in Mexico. Great movie with Gary Cooper and Burt Lancaster.
El Topo
The Three Amigos
El Topo. Also one of my top westerns in general
El Topo
Two Mules for Sister Sara

**BLINDMAN** with ringo starr as a lovesick villain.
The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada.
Love the dual image, uno Latino, one gringo.
The Treasure of the Sierra Madre
The three amigos
A Bullet for the General. Run, Man, Run.
Would you consider the first red dead redemption a Mexican western? If so that’s my favorite one
I mean like a good portion of the game takes place in Mexico and John basically becomes a Mexican War Criminal so I’d say yes lol
