The Alternative Top 20 within the quotation field is the old one, the Alternative Top 20 with Four of the Apocalypse on top is my new one.
Darn it, I wish I could see the film. When the hell is that bloody release coming out?!
Thatās what I thoughtā¦
Iāve edited the post to make things clearer. Youāre right, it was a little confusing.
Is this your first list ElDavido or have you submitted one before?
I can see I have recorded one from ElDavide and Iām not sure if that was you and just a typo on my part or if that was someone else.
This is the old one, that was in the Official lists threadā¦
- Bandidos
- The Ugly Ones
- The Dirty Outlaws
- Vengeance
- 10,000 Dollars For a Massacre
- Shoot the Living and Pray For the Dead
- ā¦ And God Said to Cain
- The Unholy Four
- A Pistol For Ringo
- Django, Prepare a Coffin
- Black Jack
- If You Meet Sartana Pray For Your Death
- The Forgotten Pistolero
- Navajo Joe
- Massacre Time
- Machine Gun Killers
- Johnny Hamlet
- Tepepa
- The Grand Duel
- Sartanaās Hereā¦ Trade Your Pistol For a Coffin
Ok, all those updated now
Yes, it drags and drags andā¦
The last announced release date was May/June 2019, or at least in 2019, but I doubt that this Dez will be much longer than the last (at least in Venice the year does usually not end before the 34th of Dez, but the Filmart label is not located in Venice). The good news is that the label is still saying they will bring the lille fucker. 2020 then ā¦

Thatās good news indeed. Iām kind of reluctant to watch the patched-together version, we all know what it looks like, the print is simply atrocious. If it is coming out after all, then I guess I will resist the temptation and hold on just for a little longer, as I donāt want the awful print to detract from the experience too much. Probably the last of āunique-geneā spags Iāve yet to see. Youāve gotta love it when movies like this and El Puro are available only in shitty quality and on bootlegs, but Anche per Django le carogne hanno un prezzo of all freaking things gets like a prime Bluray treatment. Likeā¦ what?
Well, you know ā¦ lifeās the biggest left-hander (according to someone)

Iām devastated about getting rid of The Stranger Returns, it was so close to staying. But I felt like giving some other films a chance

18 Mannaja/A Man Called Blade (Sergio Martino)
19 Taste Of Killing/Lanky Fellow (Tonino Valerii)
20 Django The Bastard/The Strangerās Gundown (Sergio Garrone)
Updated the list and only a couple of changes in positions. No new entries this year.
Biggest climber is Death Sentence which moves up to 4th at the expense of Navajo Joe which makes an identical slide down. El Puro also slips but maintains itās place in the 20, just. Dead Men Ride also climbs a little.
Hovering just outside the 20 are A Stranger in Town, Dirty Outlaws and Mannaja closely followed by Price of Power, Django, Prepare a Coffin and Arizona Colt.
The day that El Puro leaves the alternative 20 to make way for A Stranger in Town, Iāll leave this forum for sure.
