Movies that feel likeMy Name Is Nobody (1973)

Jack Beauregard, an aging gunman of the Old West, only wants to retire in peace and move to Europe, but a young gunfighter known as "Nobody" who idolizes Beauregard wants him to go out in a blaze of glory. So, he arranges for Jack to face the 150-man gang known as The Wild Bunch and earn his place in history.

If you loved My Name Is Nobody, the closest films we have are Support Your Local Sheriff! (1969), The Pink Panther (1963) and Big Deal on Madonna Street (1958). All three share My Name Is Nobody's witty and playful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Mafioso (1962).

1969 · dir. Burt Kennedy
🍅 80%★ 7.4comedy · western

Witty where it counts, playful underneath

In the old west, a man becomes a Sheriff just for the pay, figuring he can decamp if things get tough.

The Pink Panther poster

🍅 89%★ 7comedy · crime

Gritty comedy in both cases

The difference: Leans harder into crime than My Name Is Nobody does

The trademark of The Phantom, a renowned jewel thief, is a glove left at the scene of the crime. Inspector Clouseau, an expert on The Phantom's exploits, feels sure that he knows where The Phantom will strike next and leaves Paris for the Tyrolean Alps, where the famous Lugashi jewel 'The Pink Panther' is going to be. However, he does not know who The Phantom really is, or for that matter who anyone else really is...

Both lean on wit more than on western

Best friends Peppe and Mario are thieves, but they're not very good at it. Still, Peppe thinks that he's finally devised a master heist that will make them rich. With the help of some fellow criminals, he plans to dig a tunnel from a rented apartment to the pawnshop next door, where they can rob the safe. But his plan is far from foolproof, and the fact that no one in the group has any experience digging tunnels proves to be the least of their problems.

Playful comedy, and it commits to that

The simple story has the pair coming to the rescue of peace-loving Mormons when land-hungry Major Harriman sends his bullies to harass them into giving up their fertile valley. Trinity and Bambino manage to save the Mormons and send the bad guys packing with slapstick humor instead of excessive violence, saving the day.

The same preoccupation in both: spaghetti western

The difference: Easier on the wit than My Name Is Nobody

At the beginning of the 1913 Mexican Revolution, greedy bandit Juan Miranda and idealist John H. Mallory, an Irish Republican Army explosives expert on the lam from the British, fall in with a band of revolutionaries plotting to strike a national bank. When it turns out that the government has been using the bank as a hiding place for illegally detained political prisoners -- who are freed by the blast -- Miranda becomes a revolutionary hero against his will.

The Lavender Hill Mob poster

1951 · dir. Charles Crichton
🍅 100%★ 7.5comedy · crime

Western with a pulse of grit, in both cases

The difference: 22 years apart, and the 1950s show

A meek bank clerk who oversees the shipments of bullion joins with an eccentric neighbor to steal gold bars and smuggle them out of the country.

Mafioso poster

Playful western, and it commits to that

Both play comedy straight

🍅 58%★ 6.7comedy · crime

The same comedy instincts

The difference: The critics' underdog of the pair

New rules enforced by the Lady Mayoress mean that sex, weight, height and intelligence need no longer be a factor for joining the Police Force. This opens the floodgates for all and sundry to enter the Police Academy, much to the chagrin of the instructors. Not everyone is there through choice, though. Social misfit Mahoney has been forced to sign up as the only alternative to a jail sentence and it doesn't take long before he falls foul of the boorish Lieutenant Harris. But before long, Mahoney realises that he is enjoying being a police cadet and decides he wants to stay... while Harris decides he wants Mahoney out!
