Vote for Our Official Top 20

Yeah man I’m literally obsessed with Keoma. Like it’s #1 by a very large margin. I love Franco Nero, Olga Karlatos, and Enzo G. Castellari. Tbh I listen to the theme song everyday, and I realize that’s probably the most unhealthy thing anyone has ever done. :stuck_out_tongue:

The Great Silence is #2 by a very large margin also. Then #3-#7 on my list are all masterpieces IMO and can pretty much be arranged in any order. Honestly I wanted to put Face to Face and Big Gundown at 3 and 4 out of principle because Leone gets so much (well deserved) love, but idk if that’s considered cheating lol.

:joy:

You have all right to call yourself an addict, then. Me, I especially like the ending.

Keoma would have been snapping at the heels of Day of Anger in the Official Top20 by now, if it wheren’t for that you also gave some ten points to that film.

Seems you’ve covered a lot of ground in a short time.

Omg I love Day of Anger too tho! I hope I atleast got Face to Face back in the top 10 haha! I subjectively wanted to put it at #3 over the Sergio Leone goats!!!

That’s my overall rankings so far. I hope I’m not breaking regulations lol feel free to holla at me with recommendations I already know the ones I’m missing from the new top 50 haha (Light the Fuse, Tepepa, Django the Bastard, Ace High, The Ugly Ones).

You mean outside the current top 50?

In reply to your post of March 9, Aldo, you named all the Spaghettis I recall from those days. A friend told me he watched Revenge in El Paso, which I haven’t seen to this day.

I had to look that up, as I’d forgotten it was an alternate title for ‘Ace High’ … don’t remember it on TV, but I did have a VHS version with the title ‘Have Gun Will Travel’

Yeah, spot on. The characters’ depth may be severely lacking, but I love film’s autumnal atmosphere and Lavagnino’s splendid score.
