What do you guys think of Terence Hill and the movies he made way back then?
Just bought a couple of them to see how great fun they still are.
Which are the best of the punch?
I got these two:
They Call Me Trinity
My Name Is Nobody
(The titles can have many different names. I have no clue where these two was made, but the picture is not so good!)

My Name Is Nobody is in another league. It's actually written and produced by Sergio Leone (who additionally shot a few scenes). There was also a sequel of sorts, also starring Terence Hill, "Nobody's The Greatest".
Then you get the Trinity pictures, which are mostly loose fun and brought together Hill and Bud Spencer, who made a lot of buddy movies.
Don't miss "From Noon Till Three" starring Bronson and Jill Ireland. Or "The Ballad of Cable Hogue". They're a little darker but I find them more interesting.

The Terror of Tiny Town is the king of western comedies.

Cat Ballou, of course.
The Cheyenne Social Club with Henry Fonda and Jimmy Stewart is a good "rainy-Sunday-afternoon" kind of movie.

'Evil Roy Slade' is one of the funniest films I have ever seen.
'Go West' with The Marx Brothers.

I've always thought Little Big Man with Dustin Hoffman was hilarious. Paint Your Wagon with Clint Eastwood was also very funny.

If you like They Call Me Trinity, be sure to pick up Trinity is Still my Name! I enjoyed both of them, and Trinity is Still My Name has a real classic funny scene. I haven't seen My Name Is Nobody, but I'll have check it out.

A friend of mine who was American told me back in '81 that the Trinity series wasn't as popular in America as it was in Brazil (and other countries, for that matter). In fact, he told me he had never heard of the Trinity character until he came to Brazil. Terence Hill and Bud Spencer were extremely popular over here in the 70's. I've seen a few DVDs of their "classic" movies, but I was told these are quasi-legit releases and the transfer isn't very good. Since they aren't very expensive, I might buy just one to check it out.

They were very popular in Finland too. And I’m looking to see so many movies of them as possible.
Terence Hill has his own URL as well:

There you can find all the films they made together. Great humor to my tastes! :D
