Alternative Top 20

Town Hall
539

And that’s exactly what I did.

540

Not allowed are only the Spags of the forum’s Top 20, but films in your personal top 20, which are not in the forum’s Top 20, should be automatically in your Alternative Top 20. Like Tepepa, to name one of 8 from your Top 20.

541

It should basically be a list of your favourite Westerns, excluding any/all of those Westerns which appear in the SWDB top twenty. So, looking at your personal twenty favourites which you submitted to the official top twenty thread, your first eight movies were all in our SWDB top twenty, but your ninth-favourite movie is Tepepa, which doesn’t appear in the SWDB top twenty. Ergo, Tepepa is your highest rated movie which does not appear in the SWDB top twenty, logically making it the number one movie in your Alternative top 20. :+1:

In fact, just looking at your top twenty list which you submitted on the official top twenty thread, we can ascertain the first eight entries for your alternative top twenty:

  1. Tepepa
  2. God Forgives… I Don’t
  3. Navajo Joe
  4. The Hellbenders
  5. What am I Doing in the Middle of the Revolution?
  6. The Specialists
  7. Requiescant
  8. The Ugly Ones
542

Well put …

543

Exactly that.
Don’t worry @Companero_M, this seems to confuse lots of people.
I’ll have to look over my wording and see if I can make it clearer to all.

544

All good, Companero_M and added to the over all list now. :slightly_smiling_face:

546

OK. With the recent change to our Official Top 20 now seems like the perfect time for everyone to reassess their Alternative Top 20 lists and update them with that change in mind.

But, because Run Man Run and If You Meet Sartana, Pray For your Death are so close in the Official list I am changing the rules for the Alternate Top 20 submissions to try and future proof the list.

So, As of now, you can include in your Alternative Top 20 any film not currently appearing in the Top 18 spots on the Official Top 20.

That means you can vote for any film except one of the following:

|1| The Good, the Bad, the Ugly
|2| Once Upon a Time in the West
|3| For a Few Dollars More
|4| The Great Silence
|5| The Big Gundown
|6| Django
|7| A Fistful of Dollars
|8| The Mercenary
|9| Companeros
|10| Death Rides a Horse
|11| Face to Face
|12| Duck, You Sucker!
|13| A Bullet for the General
|14| Day of Anger
|15| Keoma
|16| Cemetery Without Crosses
|17| The Return of Ringo
|18| My Name is Nobody

This means that not only can you now vote for Run Man Run and Sartana, you can also vote for Django Kill! too. Only the film sitting outside the Official Top 20 will appear in our published Alternative Top 20 list but votes will be collected and saved for the others in case one of them drops out at some time in the future.

I daresay this may be a little confusing for some but if you just work on the basis that you can vote for any film except those 18 listed above (even if you have previously included them in your own top 20) you should be fine.

So, go on, submit a list now. Either an update of your previous one or a brand spanking new one if you’re a newbie.

Thanks for the update @Bill_Willer

You’ve included Cemetery Without Crosses which is at 16 on the Essential Top 20 list so doesn’t qualify here. Could you give a different one to replace it with please? :slightly_smiling_face:

551

What the hell was I doing there? Sorry Phil I don’t know what I was thinking :rofl: I’ve noticed @stanton has said RMR is back in the top 20 so I don’t know if you still need my list but I’ll edit it now anyway.

552

Yes, still go ahead. See my post above. Run man Run, Sartana and Django Kill! are all eligible for votes now so they can pop in and out of my master list when necessary.

553

My old list above. To make it simple for the watcher of the list, I’ll just kick out Challenge Of The McKennas to make room for RUN MAN RUN.

554

Cheers morgan
