WOW :smiley:

Nice to see Sonny and Jed, I really like the movie, even if it’s not Corbucci’s best. As for the remainder of your list, I must say you’re a heck of a provocateur… :wink:

  3. Drummer of Vengeance (blimey) :o
  4. Get Mean (double-blimey) :o :o

Refreshing list Tomas - somewhat disturbing… but a great read.

haha, Rev, thanks for your microinsights, very funny
yes, it might look disturbing, but i started to be disturbed by my old list as well

Coming back to this:

[quote=“tomas, post:2381, topic:190”]Oh shit, no - i accidentally posted TOP 20 of my dog.

No, not really. And i don’t smoke. Anything. Neither my dog.[/quote]

Ok … but then, what hit your head?

… or what made your taste changing so considerably?

Far too many Internet meetings with sartana1968? :smiley:

Stanton:

It is quite simple really - let’s compare some significant replacement on the list, for example OUTITW vs. Drummer of Vengeance - one is considered a classic, the other trash, or at least mediocre effort - albeit I consider OUTITW to be better made than Drummer, the amount of fascination and inspiration I can draw from Drummer of Vengeance is a little bit higher than i can scoop up from OUTITW. For this reason, Drummer means more to me, its inner song resonates with me more, so i wanted to put it on the list higher than OUTITW. You can apply this method on all flicks on the list (I think :D).

I hope it is not forbidden to compile a list in this inspiration/fascination manner.

I think, one’s movie list should be lively and vibrant, and not so petrified as it sometimes looks. This my fascination/inspiration thing is of course very flexible - who knows what might inspire my creative channels tomorow?

Of course the list should be made of those which are the most fun too watch, which are the most fascinating, which have the most impact on one.

Yes, but how comes that you have changed your taste so more or less completely. Or did your earlier lists not really represent your favourite films?
I think it is unusual that one’s list changes so considerably when one has already watched many Spags over a long period. My lists change too over the years, cause some films change when rewatching them, but basically my taste remains the same, and my new list is close to the previous one.

Well, of course the earlier list represented my favourite movies, and they are still movies i love to watch.
And it’s not that, these movies were suddenly placed on the tail of my list. They are near, mostly on places from 21. to 40. :slight_smile:
Difference between them and spaghs, which are on my list now, is almost microscopic, but it’s there.
I have seen these, let’s say classics, multiple times, and source of inspiration in some of them was muted for me to some extent.
And in spaghs on the new list, this sources of inspiration and fascination have risen. To some of these sources i didn’t pay much attention before.
My recent re-watch of My Name Is Nobody is a perfect example of this re-exploration of inspirative source, of which i thought it wasn’t there. But it was, i just didn’t look at this movie in proper mode.

Ok. that’s interesting

Hi Django! Always good when one of our less active members abandons The Great Silence and joins the rest of us in The Unholy Four(um). And it’s doubly pleasing when that new amigo places Django Kill so high in his affections. :smile:

Hehe, I just came up with an idea. How about we list our WORST 20 SW’s? I imagine there’s plenty of films to fit into that category LOL. I’d speculate that “The Great Adventure” would be at the top (or would it be the bottom?) of many people’s lists. :grin:
