Oh shit, no - i accidentally posted TOP 20 of my dog.
No, not really. And i don’t smoke. Anything. Neither my dog.
But i think, everyone should from time to time look upon things from a higher perspective.
Why was my old list better for me, and why it doesn’t suit my tastes anymore? What are my priorities now? Why not to change our old perspective and see what awaits us behind the corner. Quo vadis, pistolero?
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…

yes, had it in TOP some time ago already, then it was pulled out by other titles, but here it is again
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.
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.
