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?! :unamused:

Thatā€™s what I thoughtā€¦

Iā€™ve edited the post to make things clearer. Youā€™re 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 Iā€™m 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€¦

  1. Bandidos
  2. The Ugly Ones
  3. The Dirty Outlaws
  4. Vengeance
  5. 10,000 Dollars For a Massacre
  6. Shoot the Living and Pray For the Dead
  7. ā€¦ And God Said to Cain
  8. The Unholy Four
  9. A Pistol For Ringo
  10. Django, Prepare a Coffin
  11. Black Jack
  12. If You Meet Sartana Pray For Your Death
  13. The Forgotten Pistolero
  14. Navajo Joe
  15. Massacre Time
  16. Machine Gun Killers
  17. Johnny Hamlet
  18. Tepepa
  19. The Grand Duel
  20. Sartanaā€™s 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€¦

Thatā€™s good news indeed. Iā€™m 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 donā€™t want the awful print to detract from the experience too much. Probably the last of ā€˜unique-geneā€™ spags Iā€™ve yet to see. Youā€™ve 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€¦ lifeā€™s the biggest left-hander (according to someone)

What, no Stranger movies? :cowboy_hat_face:

Iā€™m devastated about getting rid of The Stranger Returns, it was so close to staying. But I felt like giving some other films a chance :slightly_smiling_face:

Old list

Updated Alternative Top 20 with just one new entry (Black Jack).

1 Dead Men Ride/At The End Of The Rainbow/Anda Muchacho Spara (Aldo Florio)
2 Requiem For A Gringo/Duel In Eclipse (Eugenio Martƭn, JosƩ Luis Merino)
3 The Grand Duel (Giancarlo Santi)
4 Sabata (Gianfranco Parolini)
5 Viva Django / Django, Prepare a Coffin (Ferdinando Baldi)
6 The Forgotten Pistolero/Gunman Of Ave Maria (Ferdinando Baldi)
7 Ramon The Mexican ( Maurizio Pradeaux)
8 Johnny Hamlet/The Wild And The Dirty (Enzo G. Castellari)
9 My Name Is Pecos (Maurizio Lucidi)
10 Requiescant/Kill And Pray (Carlo Lizzani)
11 Death Sentence (Mario Lanfranchi)
12 The Unholy Four/Chuck Moll (Enzo Barboni)
13 No Room To Die/Hanging For Django/A Noose For Django (Sergio Garrone)
14 Black Jack (Gianfranco Baldanello)
15 Garringo (Rafael Romero Marchent)
16 Long Days Of Vengeance (Florestano Vancini )
17 A Pistol For Ringo (Duccio Tessari)
18 Mannaja/A Man Called Blade (Sergio Martino)
19 Taste Of Killing/Lanky Fellow (Tonino Valerii)
20 Django The Bastard/The Strangerā€™s 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 itā€™s 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, Iā€™ll leave this forum for sure. :grimacing:
