Can there even be a thing like 'nearly good B-pictures'? At first I wasn't so sure either. But after years of watching B-movies, more often than not I stumbled across a B-picture which I wouldn't exactly consider to be a good (or even brillant) one. On the other hand it didn't reach the absolute bottoms of z-grade moviedom that connoisseurs of this kind of pictures are used to either. It was simply a movie which, in terms of B-pictures, was competently done, had all those ingredients we love so much in this kind of movies, yes, possibly it was even done bad for all the right reasons. But nevertheless, it didn't click with me, didn't offer that special something which makes B-pictures so enjoyable. What you can expect on this list are B-pictures which are not bad per se, they are more like near misses which can still offer plenty for the B-movie fan. Especially if you are a fan of a certain subgenre, actor or whatever. So have fun browsing through the nearly, but not quite, good B-pictures of the 1960s.

If you're up to it, don't hesitate to leave a comment.

PS: The movies are sorted by year and not necessarily by my preference. This list is by no means complete as I will add new worthwhile films as I stumble across them.

Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman, Gene Hackman, and Richard Harris in Unforgiven (1992)

Kirk Douglas, Rock Hudson, and Dorothy Malone in The Last Sunset (1961)

Mostly Italian Movies with some "Foreign" ones (Spanish and French, but not the German Winnetou-series) that fits the Genre. You can find bigger lists on IMDb, but some of the movies there have nothing to do with Spagetti-Westerns. This list is a work in progress so there may be some Movies that should not be here and some that is missing.
