[quote=“chuck connors brother, post:2327, topic:190”]Sort of pointless but just replace no 20…

  1. W DJANGO (replaces NOBODY’S THE GREATEST)[/size][/quote]

Very “pointfull” if you ask me :wink:

[quote=“John Welles, post:2329, topic:190”]New One:

16. A Fistful of Dollars
17. Return of Ringo
18. A Fistful of Dollars

The biggest drop is A Fistful of Dollars (9 places) and a twinge of regret that I couldn’t find room for Minnesota Clay in there somewhere… Four of the Apocalypse also almost made it in, on the basis of Thomas Milian’s performance (the only truly frightening Spaghetti Western villain). Rather surprised in retrospect that Valerii, whom I still like, had both of his films unconsciously dropped (sorry, but Keoma’s probably gone for good now).[/quote]

Well, you still have a chance for one of them …

Or choose instead Boot Hill. Remember the free post you can earn …

Very "pointfull" if you ask me

Ha, maybe if W Django has more than 1 point now

It has, and funnily both have now 17 points, but because W Django has 3 votes now, both turn places in the list.

Ok, then, now, the newly updated forum’s top 20 list:

Like last year only films are included with a minimum of 2 votes. Which reduces the 201 named Spags to 141.

With now 153 lists it’s the first time that none of the top 20 switched their ranks, actually none from the first 23.

The last update was made a year back on page 108:
http://forum.spaghetti-western.net/index.php/topic,190.2140.html

10,000 Dollars Blood Money climbed a few ranks, as did El puro and Requiescant. And The Bounty Killer, which is back in the top 50. Also new is The Call Me Trinity on # 50, and the two which fell for them from grace and left the 50 are Vengeance and A Bullet for Sandoval.

Sterling work as ever Stanton - I feel the Top 30 or so are pretty much set in the stone at this point… Although the point difference between Death Rides a Horse (#9) and Face to Face (#10) is only 11 points!

So if I make a list, Cipolla Colt won’t appear in the complete list at position… um 107? This is bullshit. >:(

Yes, like I said, same old bullshit as last year …

Well, the idea is that with 150 lists, the list gets too crowded, and if a film gets only one vote it does not really “deserve” to appear here. But if the members of this forum wish to see the complete list, I will do it.

The list is anyway a bit meaningless in the lower ranks, or let’s say less useful. And the basic idea was to get a top 20, or meanwhile also a top 50, which has some value. Kicking out the orphans does eliminate partly the coincidence of being included by happenstance. With 2 votes there are at least 2 nuts who like Cipolla colt, and 2 are a crowd to some.

But in the case of Cipolla Colt one must consider an old saying: Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time it’s enemy action.

Top work Brother Stanton.

I think you’ll find though that El Puro’s higher up than that; top 20 at least. Have another check, sir.

(Go on, just stick it up there! Who’s going to know? I won’t tell anyone! :slight_smile: )

Nice one, I tried to keep Vengeance in the 50 but can’t put it any higher

Can we see a number of place votes? Like how many first, second, or third place votes each has?

That would be a lot of work.

What do you want to know exactly? A list of every film which made a top 3? And how often these are in the top ranks?

As wished by millions, all one-vote orphans of our list:

96 Death Played the Flute Panaccio, Angelo 25

199 Don’t Touch the White Woman Ferreri, Marco 1
200 For a Book of Dollars Girolami, Renzo 1
201 A Stranger in Paso Bravo Rosso, Salvatore 1

Films in bold are recommended by me for this or that reason.

I hope no one wants now a list with all Spagies which got zero votes or less.

Didn’t know how much work it would be. I was just thinking about sports voting like for MVPs or all-league rankings.

Like if there were for instance 100 total votes, there would be hypothetically :

  1. G,B,U. (60)
  2. OUATITW (15)
  3. FAFDM. (10)
  4. Django (7)

Etc etc

I’m just curious if there are films which have more first place votes than a film above it in the rankings, but is overall ranked lower.

The # ones:

1 The Good, the Bad, the Ugly Leone, Sergio 63

2 Once Upon a Time in the West Leone, Sergio 48
3 For a Few Dollars More Leone, Sergio 13

4 The Great Silence Corbucci, Sergio 5
5 A Fistful of Dollars Leone, Sergio 2
6 Django Corbucci, Sergio 1

11 Companeros Corbucci, Sergio 2
12 Duck, You Sucker! Leone, Sergio 4
13 A Bullet for the General Damiani, Damiano 2
14 Day of Anger Valerii, Tonino -
15 Keoma Castellari, Enzo G. 2
16 Cemetery Without Crosses Hossein, Robert 2
17 My Name is Nobody Leone, Sergio/Valerii, T. 1
18 The Return of Ringo Tessari, Duccio 1
19 Django Kill…If You Live, Shoot! Questi, Giulio -
20 Run Man, Run Sollima, Sergio -

21 If You Meet Sartana Pray for Your Death Parolini, Gianfranco 1

39 Matalo! Canevari, Cesare 1
