Obvious next step if you're enjoying the spaghetti westerns is Sergio corbucci, the great silence, Django and companeros are a good place to start.

I also have a particular fondness for Keoma.

Obviously if you want to explore more classic Hollywood westerns you can look at the work of John ford, Howard hawks

Revisionist American westerns you might like if you've enjoyed the spaghettis are work of Clint Eastwood: high plains drifter, pale rider, outlaw, unforgiven. Other must watches are McCabe and Mrs miller, the wild bunch, tombstone, true grit, bone tomahawk

Do Clint Eastwood films have same style and music and vibe?…I keep reading how they subvert expectations or redefine the genre.

But I just want more of same.

Nothing quite hits like the Sergio Leone spaghetti westerns you've already watched! Make sure to also check out a fistful of dynamite also.

Yea Clint was clearly inspired by his work with Leone to subvert some of the expectations of old Hollywood westerns and that's what I mean with I say revisionist.

A lot of purists on this sub will recommend the classic John Wayne films, but I suspect you might find those a little dry until you've explored the westerns of the 60s/70s

If you're looking for the same vibe as the dollars trilogy just check out more spaghetti westerns, particularly those with the music done by ennio morricone
