From my early childhood, I have been a huge fan of Italian western movies, aka spaghetti westerns; my father used to play the tunes of Ennio Morricone frequently, and I'm still getting the shivers when I hear his music. I hope our American friends forgive me, but the spaghetti variety beats "classical" western à la John Wayne by light-years.
I still love them, especially 'The Dollars Trilogy' directed by Sergio Leone and starring the young Clint Eastwood.
Here's an interesting feature about Leone's inspiration from Akira Kurosawa's movies, in particular, 'Yojinbo'.
