I officially ask for an update of the Database page
Iâll do it before too long.
To be honest it doesnât change much as people submit lists for this quite rarely and I donât change it every time. Only now and again when there are enough changes to make it worth the time.
Maybe this will further motivate an update. I actually got 20 titles together that Iâm confident with this time.
Old list:
[s]Johnny Hamlet (1968) (Enzo G. Castellari) Texas, Adios (1966) (Ferdinando Baldi) Pride and Vengeance (1968) (Luigi Bazzoni) Long Days of Vengeance (1967) (Florestano Vancini) Have a Good Funeral, My Friend... Sartana Will Pay (1970) (Giuliano Carnimeo) Django the Bastard (1969) (Sergio Garrone) The Stranger Returns (1967) (Luigi Vanzi) The Stranger and the Gunfighter (1974) (Antonio Margheriti) Trinity is STILL My Name! (1971) (Enzo Barboni) Beyond the Law (1968) (Giorgio Stegani)[/s]

Youâre allowed to list films in your personal top 20, just not in the official top 20, but good looking list there Adam!
thanks I know the rules it was my choice not to include films from my top20, because i want to distinguish more spags ;D
After much procrastination the Alternative Top 20 has finally been updated to reflect all votes to date.
Only a few changes but nice to see Bandidos and Sabata making the cut now.
On a side note, I find it interesting how some films which used to rank highly on this list have dropped like a stone more recently. Thinking specifically of stuff like Mannaja, Black Jack, Django the Bastard, Cut Throats Nine, Hellbenders etc. Meanwhile, the Sartana flicks have steadily risen. Not sure if this is due to changing tastes or just the wider range of people voting.
Could also be due to new home video releases widening the exposure of certain films.
Death Sentence in Alternative Top 20. Finally!
Iâm glad Bandidos is now in, but I think some of the new arrivals donât deserve alternative top 20. But thatâs just me.
Except for California these are all films I like. At least to a certain extent.
I think all are valid choices but it surprises me how some of them make the Alternative Top 20 but are not even in the Top 50 of our regular chart. The Bounty Killer, A Stranger in Town and Vengeance is Mine being prime examples. Meanwhile, films which only just miss out on the main chart are nowhere to be seen here. The first Sartana film, for instance as well as Tepepa and Mannaja.
Heck yeah! Nice to see Bandidos in there as well. Too bad, Black Jack, fell out though.
âMeanwhile, films which only just miss out on the main chart are nowhere to be seen here. The first Sartana film, for instance as well as Tepepa and Mannaja.â
Well the top 20 changes all the time, so the list of films that qualify for the alternative 20 would change as well. So a film that used to be in the real top 20 but has recently dropped out will not get many votes for the alternative top 20 because it used to be the real top 20 hence nobody voted for it for the alternative top 20.
Shit Iâm confused.
Oh! Didnât spot it. Sad indeed, it deserves to be in Alternative Top 20.
@ the Colonel.
Actually there was some change on the # 20 position when Phil started the Alternative top 20, but in the last years (since Return of Ringo entered the top 20) the first 20 seem to be fixed. Meanwhile The Return of Ringo and Run Man, Run gain a large lead to their follow-ups.
Means thereâs no longer any confusion which films are eligible and which not.
These 3 were sometimes at the # 20 position:
If You Meet Sartana Pray for Your Death
Blindman
Sabata
Wider avialability with certain titles, the changing nature of the Top 20, the fact that these are film which are disccussed a lot more often, means theyâre at the forefront of our mines and hence donât seem to be âunder-ratedâ.
I think that now the alternative top is better
I donât like only âJohnny Hamletâ and âThey Call Me Cemeteryâ.
