PURCHASE THE DVD: 800 Bullets (800 Balas) (2002)

Part modern comedy, and part spaghetti western, this 2002 Spanish production has the best of both, and is very entertaining.

A young man steals his mother's credit card and takes off to search for his long-lost father. To do this, he must go to Almeria, where his grandfather, an alcoholic one-time stunt double to Clint Eastwood is staging elaborate Western shows for tourists on abandoned film sets.

Rumors say the old man accidentally caused his son's death doing a dangerous stunt. As the kid grows close to his grandfather, they join forces to fight the rich landowners who want to turn the old sets into a modern (non-Western) amusement park.

Well done, and lots of fun.
