i will add a poll to this topic as soon as we have 20 nominees we can AGREE on

of your 12 nominees i kinda am not sure about “light the fuse”… but i haven’t seen that one yet.

i’d definitely add Face to Face and Run man Run, as well as “and god said to cain”, “god forgives, we don’t”, definitely “cemetery without crosses”, then of course “Django”, “Keoma” and “Il Mercenario” and “companeros”.

and there might be more we should mention. so in the end we will have to leave away a whole bunch but we need to reach a consensus on 20 top-notch films for the final voting.

i’ll announce this topic on the main page now as well

what about these:

  • the grand duel (it’s on tv here tonight, i’m gonna tape it, never seen it)
  • django - prepare the coffin (aka viva django)
  • forgotten pistolero
  • texas, adios
  • massacre time
  • the specialists

remember we dont wanna nominate our favorites here, let’s consider the best, and then vote for our favorites among THOSE

This is off the top of my head…so forgive me if I forget something…

  1. The Good, The Bad & The Ugly
  2. Once Upon A Time in The West
  3. For a Few Dollars More
  4. Fistful of Dollars
  5. Day of Anger
  6. The Great Silence
  7. The Big Gundown
  8. Sabata
  9. Death Rides a Horse
  10. Django
  11. Sartana (original)
  12. My Name is Nobody

I guess the only differences for me would be Sabata and Sartana, which I don’t think have been suggested…I think Sabata should definitely be in the top 20 somewhere.

  3. The Good, the Bad & the Ugly
  4. For a Few Dollars More
  5. If You Meet Sartana, Pray For Your Death

  11. Keoma (despite the singing!)
  12. Once Upon a Time in the West

I could name another 10 to 12 also ran’s that belong up there too ( Django, Companero’s etc ) but the axe has to fall somewhere…

I really don’t think this is the right way to do the voting.
Lets say that we could agree on the 20 nominees. (which I personally think is impossible)
What do we do then? A poll? Somewhere else in this forum I read that there would be 5 votes per member.

(20 members (with 5 votes each) the results would probably look something like this)

#1 20 votes
#2 20 votes
#3 19 votes
#4 18 votes
#5 15 votes
#6 2 votes
#7 1 votes
#8 1 votes
#9 1 votes
#10 1 votes
#11 1 votes
#12 1 votes
#13 0 votes
#14 0 votes

#20 0 votes

Not very informative or interesting and this wouldn’t be much different even with 100 members.

I think that the result should be calculated from each member’s personal top#12.
