That’s good, although you have 21 films here so I’ve left off the Deserter as it’s the last one.

I’ve also added all the others requested here and updated the page so it reflects the latest tally. Not much change really all bar one are the same films with a slight change in order. The newcomer is a switch of one Sartana for another with Parolini’s original making it onto the list now.

[JonathanCorbett]

There’s the poster for The Mercenary instead of Vengeance Is Mine and other two posters no longer appear, what happened?

[Phil_H]

Sloppy formatting by me I suspect.
Hopefully fixed now

[Phil_H]

Am I right in thinking this is your first Alt Top 20 list Lone_Gringo?
Just making sure before I add it to the list.

[Phil_H]

OK, added to my spreadsheet but I won’t be updating the page for a bit.

[The_Man_With_a_Name]

Mine keeps changing as I view more and more spaghetti westerns. I’m not going to submit mine until I feel satisfied.

[UglyOne427]

This is my new alternative top 20 and I doubt I will be updating it anytime soon, but if I do update it, I will let you know.

Happy to add your changes UglyOne427 and have now done so but I’m intrigued at the amount of differences between this and your last list which was such a short while ago. I count 7 drop outs including your top 2 from last time. Quite a change of heart.

@morgan

I should like to make one change. To keep it simple, out goes 17 Lo voglio morto, in comes 17 La Sfida dei MacKenna.

@JonathanCorbett

Challenge Of The McKennas is without doubt a very interesting SW, and surely I am not among those who complain about the sub-plot with Annabella Incontrera, but I am not sure that this was a beneficial change.

@morgan

Well, I can always reconsider. All in all LO voglio morto is maybe a better film (by a strand of hair) than La Sfida dei MacKenna. But I like the latter more. You said it: very interesting …

I have reconsidered.

Watched the Cult Action release of I Want Him Dead yesterday night, for the first time with an English audio. Top-notch film. It will be back in my list in December. Don’t know what I was thinking.

[The_Man_With_a_Name]

I have that disc, too. I Want Him Dead is definitely in my alternative top 20, if not my top 20!

[morgan]

In the wake of the SpagvemberFest (og for en fest!) I need to submit a new alternative 20. This is my current list:

1 Tepepa
2 El Precio de un hombre
3 10.000 dollari per un massacro
4 La taglia è tua… l’uomo l’ammazzo io
5 Sartana non perdona
6 California
7 Buitres cavarán tu fosa, Los
8 Sentenza di morte
9 I Lunghi giorni della vendetta
10 L’ultimo killer
11 Per 100,000 dollari ti ammazzo
12 Quanto costa morire
13 Un Minuto per pregare, un istante per morire
14 Tempo di massacro
15 Quel maledetto giorno della resa dei conti
16 Lo ammazzo come un cane… ma lui rideva ancora
17 La Sfida dei MacKenna
18 Vendetta per vendetta
19 Django il bastardo
20 La Notte Dei Serpenti

And this is my new one (I change to English titles):

1 Tepepa
2 El Puro
3 The Bounty Killer
4 The Wind’s Anger
5 California
6 Sonora
7 I Want Him Dead
8 And the Crows Will Dig Your Grave
9 10.000 Dollars for a Massacre
10 O’ Cangaçeiro
11 The Long Days of Vengeance
12 The Ultimate Killer
13 Cost of Dying
14 A Minute to Pray, A Second to Die
15 Terrible Day of the Big Gundown
16 Hate Is My God
17 Death Played the Flute
18 Challenge of The McKennas
19 God Forgives … I don’t
20 Why Go on Killing?

As a spin-off of the SpagvemberFest it seems I have also ended up with a top 50, which I didn’t have before. I put it on my SWDB user page: User:Morgan - The Spaghetti Western Database

[Phil_H]

@morgan

4 The Wind’s Anger
10 O’ Cangaçeiro

Morgan would you like to give me a couple of alternatives for these?

The Wind’s Anger is set in Spain and O’Cangaceiro is set in Brazil in the 1920s. As such neither really qualify as westerns for the purpose of this list. Pick another couple and I’ll add them in.

[morgan]

It will be like this then:

1 Tepepa
2 El Puro
3 The Bounty Killer
4 California
5 Sonora
6 I Want Him Dead
7 And the Crows Will Dig Your Grave
8 10.000 Dollars for a Massacre
9 The Long Days of Vengeance
10 The Ultimate Killer
11 Cost of Dying
12 A Minute to Pray, A Second to Die
13 Terrible Day of the Big Gundown
14 Hate Is My God
15 Death Played the Flute
16 Challenge Of The McKennas
17 God Forgives … I don’t
18 Why Go on Killing?
19 Bandidos
20 A Pistol for Ringo

Stanton has by the way accepted both films as eligible for the Official top 20.

[Phil_H]

That’s great. Thanks.
All done now.

@morgan

Stanton has by the way accepted both films as eligible for the Official top 20.

Well, that’s Stanton for you. Always accommodating. I on the other hand am a traditionalist stickler.

[stanton]

@morgan

Stanton has by the way accepted both films as eligible for the Official top 20.

To put it more exactly, it was the forum which accepted them as eligible. I’m only another forum slave, and do what the forum wants me to do.

In some cases there was a discussion what is eligible and what not, and a solution was found.

I personally see both in a slightly wider sense as a part of the genre, while e.g. I personally do not view Red Sun as a Spag, but the majority here does.
