Jag har sett många filmer som beskrivs som en Spaghetti Western. Vad gör en film en Spaghetti Western?
Det korta svaret, citerat från Wikipedia, är som följer
Spaghetti Western, also known as Italian Western, is a broad sub-genre of Western films that emerged in the mid-1960s in the wake of Sergio Leone's film-making style and international box-office success. The term was used by critics in USA and other countries because most of these Westerns were produced and directed by Italians. According to actor Aldo Sambrell, the phrase 'Spaghetti Western' was coined by Italian journalist Alfonso Sancha. In the beginning the term was used in a derogatory sense, but over time it has become accepted as descriptive.
The typical Spaghetti Western team was made up of an Italian director, Italo-Spanish technical staff, and a cast of Italian, Spanish, German and American actors, sometimes a fading Hollywood star and sometimes a rising one like the young Clint Eastwood in three of Sergio Leone's films.

Så, vad gör en "Western" en "Spaghetti Western" då?
Det finns en artikel på spaghetti-western.net som gör ett ganska bra jobb vid att beskriva skillnader, men att sammanfatta det Spaghetti Westerns är mer våldsamma, actionorienterade och glesa i dialog, och "hjälten" är oftare än inte bara mindre ond än resten.
