Spaghetti Westerns were a name given to low-budget Western movies, which were made by Italian movie companies in the 1960s.
They were different from the American western movies, usually filmed in Italian, had limited budgets, filmed on location in Spain and Italy with minimal sets, and many close-ups and artistic shots.
Perhaps the most well-known of these movies is "The Man with No Name" trilogy: A Fistful of Dollars (1964), For a Few Dollars More (1965), and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966).
All three of these movies were directed by Sergio Leone, featured music by Ennio Morricone, and starred American actor Clint Eastwood as the main character.

Disneyland Park is a theme park in Anaheim, California, United States.
It is the first Disneyland.
It was opened on July 17, 1955, by Walt Disney, the man who invented Mickey Mouse.
It is one of the most popular theme parks in the world.
Disneyland Park celebrated it or 66th, anniversary on July 17, 2021.
In 2001, the area around the park expanded into a resort with three hotels, a shopping and dining area called Downtown Disney and a second theme park, Disney's California Adventure.
The area is now called Disneyland Resort.
The park offers its guests many ways of enjoying their visit.
For instance, when visiting the park, guests can find "Hidden Mickeys"  on each ride and all throughout the resort. "
Hidden Mickeys" are shaped in the form of Mickey Mouse's head and ears, and displayed through various forms; such as a Hidden Mickey shaped cement, on the floor of the Daisy Level in the Mickey & Friends Parking Structure, or three speakers—in the shape of a circle—forming Mickey Mouse's head on the Space Mountain ride, in Tomorrowland.
Hidden Mickeys provide guests an exciting way of discovering magic throughout the park.
Walt Disney worked very hard to run his movie studio.
He liked to spend weekends with his two daughters.
The family liked going to carnivals and fairs.
Mr. Disney wanted to build a place that had all of the fun of the traveling fairs where parents and children could ride together.
That is how Mr. Disney got the idea for Disneyland.
In 1953, Disney talked to people at Stanford University.
He asked them to find a place that would be a good place to build his park.
The Stanford people recommended an orange grove for sale in Anaheim, a farming area south of Los Angeles.
Mr. Disney's friends thought the idea was a crazy one.
He was sure that his dream would be a good one.
After selling land that he loved very much in Palm Springs to help pay for the park, the building of Disneyland began in 1954.
He also used a weekly television show called Disneyland to make people want to see his park.
In only one year, Disneyland Park was open.
When Disneyland Park opened on July 17, 1955, the opening was shown on television as it happened.
Mr. Disney asked three of his Hollywood friends to help him: Art Linkletter, Robert Cummings and Ronald Reagan.
Many things went wrong that day.
11,000 people were invited to the private event but nearly 30,000 came.
The streets were still fresh and many people had their shoes stuck in it.
They stepped out of their shoes.
Even the running water was a problem.
Mr. Disney had to choose between drinking water and water for flushing toilets.
Mr. Disney chose the toilets.
Disneyland may have had problems when it opened, but it was not long before it became a success.
Visitor number one million came to Disneyland less than two years later.
Sunday, July 17, 2005, was the fiftieth anniversary of the opening day.
Many people waited to enter the park that morning.
Some people spent the night waiting in Disney's California Adventure.
A ceremony was held that morning with very important people speaking to the audience.
Art Linkletter, who was part of the first television show, was the first to speak.
The day was also Mr. Linkletter's 93rd birthday.
Michael Eisner and Bob Iger, the top men at the Disney company each gave speeches.
California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger gave a speech as did Walt Disney's daughter, Diane Disney Miller.
The ceremony was shown on giant television screens placed in the park and were played over the televisions during the day.
At 4:45 that afternoon, the exact time the Walt Disney had given his speech on the opening day, his speech was played over speakers all over Disneyland.
The lands of Disneyland Park
Inside Disneyland are several areas called "lands."
Each land has its own theme.
This is a list of those lands and some of the things in them.
Disneyland is called the "Happiest place in America."
Main Street, U.S.A. is the first land people see when they come into Disneyland.
It was built to look like a small American town, much like the one Mr. Disney grew up in.
A station for the Disneyland Railroad can be found here.
It is located at the entrance to Disneyland.
Mr. Disney and some of his workers loved trains and wanted a railroad in their new park.
Guests can ride steam-powered trains for a ride around the edge of Disneyland.
They can also ride a streetcar pulled by a horse, a double-deck bus and even a small fire engine.
Many shops and restaurants can be found on Main Street, U.S.A.
Fantasyland is like the places in old fairy tales.
There is an antique carousel from 1875.
The main entry to Fantasyland is through the Sleeping Beauty castle, the symbol of Disneyland.
Attractions (Disneyland does not use the term "rides") include Snow White's Scary Adventures and It's a Small World.
It also includes the Alice in Wonderland attractions.
The Alice in Wonderland ride allows riders to take the adventure just like Alice did and visit the "creatures" she met in Wonderland.
The teacups are another Alice attraction where guests sit in giant teacups and spin as fast or as slow as they want.
Other attractions include the Matterhorn Bobsleds.
It is the only roller coaster in Fantasyland and the world's first steel roller coaster.
Mr. Toad's Wild Ride is an attraction that takes riders through the world of Mr. Toad as he drives around in his car.
The Casey Jr. Circus Train goes through tunnels and a small stream.
Dumbo the Flying Elephant has long been a young children's favorite. "
It's A Small World" is a classic Disney attraction boat ride taking guests around the world.
Each part of the world has dolls that sing the song "It's a Small World" in their language.
In Peter Pan's Flight, one may fly over London in a pirate ship and explore Neverland.
Pinocchio's Daring Journey is another ride that allows riders to explore the story of the Pinocchio Disney movie.
Guests can see different small villages of classic Disney stories on Storybook Land Canal Boats.
Adventureland is made to look like a jungle in Africa or Asia.
One of Disneyland's first attractions can be ridden here.
It is called "Jungle Cruise" and takes guests on a boat ride on a jungle river.
Tarzan's Treehouse was originally named The Swiss Family Treehouse after an old novel.
The Indiana Jones Adventure is a ride in a jeep through "dangerous" caverns that include lava, a giant snake, and other perils.
The only other attraction in Adventureland as of now is the Enchanted Tiki Room which is the first ride in the world to feature audio-animatronics.
Frontierland is a land that looks like the old American West.
The Mark Twain, a steam-powered boat called a "paddlewheeler" takes guests for a ride on the "Rivers of America."
Guests can also ride "Big Thunder Mountain Railroad," a roller coaster that looks like a mine train.
Tomorrowland was meant to look like the world of the future.
An attraction called "Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters" and it opened there in 2005.
The "Space Mountain" indoor roller coaster, built in 1977, reopened in 2005 after two years of rebuilding.
An old attraction called "Submarine Voyage" was rebuilt.
It re-opened in 2007, as Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage  with characters from Disney's Finding Nemo.
Mickey's Toontown
Mickey's Toontown is where Mickey Mouse and his friends are supposed to live.
It is named "Toontown" after a place in the movie, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
New Orleans Square
New Orleans Square looks like a place called the "French Quarter" in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Two of Disneyland's very popular attractions are in New Orleans Square: "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "The Haunted Mansion", which have both inspired movies.
Critter Country
Critter Country was first named Bear Country.
It looks like America's Deep South of more than 100 years ago. "
Splash Mountain" is a very popular log ride that guests wait in line for a long time to enjoy.
It ends with a very long drop down a waterfall.
The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh was more recently added to Disneyland.
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge is the newest land in Disneyland.
It is themed after the Star Wars franchise.
There are two rides, the "Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run" and "Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance."
The land opened on May 31, 2019.
Closure because of COVID-19
In 2020, Disneyland closed until further notice.
This was because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The park was supposed to reopen on July 17th 2020, but this was postponed.
On March 17, 2021, it was announced that the park would reopen on April 30, 2021.

The German capital Berlin is subdivided into 12 boroughs (German: Stadtteile/ Bezirke).
The boroughs are called Bezirke in German.
The 12 boroughs have political rights like a town community but they are not a legal city.
On January 1, 2001 there was a Berlin borough reform.
The reform cut the number of Berlin's boroughs from 23 to 12.
This was the result of combining several of the old boroughs.
The reform was done in order to cut down administration costs.
(the data in the table is March 2004)
Superhuman means something that is beyond what people are naturally able to do.
It is a word most used in fiction such as superhero comic books, but also sometimes in science fiction and fantasy movies and books.
Real Madrid Club de Fútbol, sometimes known as Real Madrid, is a Spanish football club from Madrid, Spain.
It was started in 1902 and competes in La Liga (the Spanish top league).
The "Real" in the club's name is Spanish for "royal", because it was blessed by the King of Spain in 1920.
Real Madrid has won La Liga 34 times and the Copa del Rey (King's Cup) 19 times, the most out of any team in the league.
It has also won the UEFA Champions League a record 13 times and the UEFA Cup twice.
Real Madrid was recognised as the FIFA Club of the 20th Century on 11 December 2000, and received the FIFA Centennial Order of Merit on 20 May 2004.
In June 2017, the team succeeded in becoming the first club to win the Champions League twice in a row.
In 2018, Madrid made history by becoming the first club in recent history to win the Champions League three times in a row.
They beat Liverpool F.C. 3–1 in the final.
Since it began, Real Madrid has since spent all of its history in La Liga, and has never been relegated down to a lower level.
This shows how strong they have been just to stay in the top flight of Spanish football.
In the 1940s, the club, the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium and the Ciudad Deportiva were rebuilt after the Spanish Civil War.
The club became a major force in both Spanish and European football during the 1950s.
In the 1980s, the club had one of the best teams in Spain and Europe (known as La Quinta del Buitre).
They had won two UEFA Cups, five Spanish championships in a row, one Spanish cup and three Spanish Super Cups.
The club has bought and had many famous footballers, including Ronaldo, David Beckham, Zinedine Zidane, Michael Owen, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaká and other very famous footballers.
The most expensive player is Gareth Bale who was bought for 85.3 million pounds from Tottenham Hotspur of the English Premier League.
The club's traditional home colours are all white.
Its crest has been changed several times in attempts to modernise or re-brand.
The current crest is a modified version of the one first adopted in the 1920s.
Real's home stadium is the 81,044 capacity Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid, where it has played since 1947.
Unlike most European football clubs, Real Madrid's members (socios) have owned and operated the club since it was opened.
Real is the world's most valuable club.
Real Madrid has won 34 La Liga titles.
There is a strong rivalry between the two strongest teams in La Liga, which are Real Madrid and FC Barcelona, where the game between them is known as "El Clásico" ("The Classic").
Madrid Derby
The club's nearest neighboring club is Atlético Madrid, and matches between them are known as "Madrid Derby".
A strong rivalry is shared between fans of both teams.

Bigfoot, also called Sasquatch is a creature in folklore.
People say that they are primates living in remote areas of Canada and the United States, most commonly in the Pacific Northwest.
Even though many people claim to have seen a Bigfoot, or seen their tracks, no one has ever captured one, or found a dead body.
So, most people do not believe in Bigfoot.
Bigfoot is said to be very tall, from 7 to 9 feet (about 2 to 2.75 meters) and covered in brown, black, red, or sometimes even white fur or hair.
They are said to have very big feet, about 13 inches long (0.3 meters), which is why they are named Bigfoot.
The name Sasquatch comes from the Halkomelem language, a Central Salish language in the Salish language family.
Stories of this type of creature are known among a number of First Nations groups in south-western British Columbia.
According to Sharan Newman in The Real History behind the Da Vinci Code, Dan Brown based The Da Vinci Code on a book called Holy Blood, Holy Grail by Baigent and Leigh.
This book was based on some papers found in the National Library of France, and which were forgeries.
The papers were written to show that the man who wrote them was really the true king of France and head of an ancient secret society.
In 2006, Columbia Pictures made a movie version.
It was directed by Ron Howard and stars Tom Hanks as Robert Langdon.
