Spaghetti Westerns can best be defined as Westerns that were made in Europe, rather than America, often (but not exclusively) in Italy. So, the term was a bit of a derogatory one, since the sentiment at the time, according to some, was that Westerns made outside the U.S. just weren’t as good, or couldn’t be as good, even though some spaghetti Westerns genuinely could rival American classics like The Searchers, High Noon, and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance in terms of quality. Actually, those ones aren’t ideal to bring up if you want to contrast American Westerns with spaghetti ones, since those three can be considered at least a little revisionist or subversive.
