Ok, last week was 'The Trip'(1967), starring Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper. It was kind of a 'hippie-exploitation' film, written by a young Jack Nicholson (connection to Fonda/Hopper-Easy Rider), and directed by B-movie king Roger Corman. Fonda plays a guy who gets turned on to LSD, with the resulting craziness that ensues making up the bulk of the movie. It's a trip, alright. Corman actually took some LSD prior to filming this so he could get a better idea of what it was all about. No cinematic masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination but it's a goof to watch.
Anyways, I'm throwing down the glove. Bill Simmon has gotten the last two films down. I can't let this happen again. Norbizness might know the answer to this one so if you click him enough, maybe he'll pay attention. So here's this week's film:
Film, year, and director, please. Obligatory Stupid Trivia Question: What is the connection between this film and two rather famous spaghetti westerns?
UPDATE: Well that didn't take very long...Bill and Norbizness both got it...Feel free to guess before having a look. Try back next week, too.

Sure I know it, it's one of my favorites. However, I'll let it go and let someone else answer. To prove it, John Woo was responsible for its recent restorationn.
I suspect you may be the only one to know this one... we'll see...
Okay, this one was a toughy. I had to do a little sleuthing, but....
Le Cercle Rouge (The Red Circle)
1970
Jean-Pierre Melville
Bonus question:
Gian Maria Volontè (Vogel) was in both A Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More.
oh, and: blogger meet-up.

email me for more details.
Well, then... I think next week, the rules need to change. Something has to be up here longer than a day...This is getting ridiculous.
Hmmm.. you seem to do a lot of 'research'... is it theoretically possible that you haven't seen any of these movies and perhaps you've memorized the IMDB? Perhaps I need to make this much more challenging...
I got your email on the meetup.. I should be there.
This was the first one you've done that I didn't have any firsthand knowledge of. I pieced it together from the actors and the general period and then used your spaghetti western clue to close the deal. IMDb was utilized, I confess. There's a better than good chance I'll see this film now though, after reading about it, so you're doing a public service here!
