I’ve updated all of the above lists (ignoring any that don’t qualify).
I’ll do my usual new year’s update in January so please do submit any lists you’d like to be considered. Rules are there if you’d like to read them.

How is it , like at beginning or Bills suggestion ?
I think we should change the whole “alternative Top 20” to extended favorite list, Your Top 20 + 20 more.

I second this opinion. I always thought a top 40 reflects more , than a boring top 20. Sorry, but the most top-twenty-lists of the members will be almost the same, with some little differences.

What bothers me most about the alternate list is that, as an example, a film like Arizona Colt that is in my top 20 I have to also include in this list because it does not feature in the official top20. Which bumps out a film I’d otherwise like to include in my alternate list. This only gets worse the more picks you have in your original list that this also applies to, leaving your alternate one less representative of how you actually feel and omitting a certain number of titles you would have otherwise included from getting a mention.
To be fair, when we came up with these lists, there were precious few methodology discussions 
The Alt list was always thought of more of a didactic product: a segway for people to discover some films aside from the “usual suspects”, kind of a list of films for people to watch once they’ve transitioned from beginner to intermediate :).
I personally am open to tweaking the rules and computations for these lists, just my two cents of how we got there
