Aaaam, understood. So you took the last three alternative titles that I put on my top 20 and put them into my alternative list, right?
Thanks for your job! It’s still a pretty good list, I think
Fuck, I see now that I misunderstood the titles of some films…I hope you apologize me, but I’m not familiarized with the English title. I know them in Italian and Spanish and in some cases I guessed the title based on their original title, like Tempo di massacro (Time of killing instead of Massacre Time) or Per 100,000 dollari ti ammazzo ($100,000 for a Killing instead of Vengeance is mine).
These six, because they are Top 20 films for you but don’t appear on the Official Top 20 list:
10,000 Dollars for a Massacre
Bandidos
The Hellbenders
The ugly ones
Night of the serpent
Cut-throats nine
The three that you cut from the second list are the ones I like the most: 6th, 10th and 4th respectively in my not very recent Alternative Top 20! haha
But this is your list Carlos so let me know if you want to change anything. If not I’ll add it to the Alternative Top 20 database so it will contribute to that.

I watched DIRTY OUTLAWS yesterday - the Wild EAST dvd - and it blew me away … ultra-violent, nasty, cynical, and two gorgeous, fascinating female characters to gaze upon. Definitely the best use of a muddy town since DJANGO. Great characters, score, and a cool distinct gothic/film noir quality pretty much throughout, assisted by a suspenseful, unusual score. The Civil War elements added a lot to my enjoyment. The WE dvd is certainly acceptable, but I’d spring for a blu-ray without hesitating. Thanks, ElDavido, for calling this prime SW to my attention again. I’d paid a premium for the OOP disc a year or so ago … worth every damn penny.
I agree on all points you made there. It certainly is a Djangoesque film. It has all the things I like in a Spag, I love the lack of realism, it’s like a western nightmare story! Gianni Ferrio’s dream like score fits it perfectly. There’s a German DVD (Also with English) on the label Savoy that used to be pretty cheap, I’m curious to see what the quality’s like on that one, they have a great release of Machine Gun Killers with a trailer for El Desperado as a bonus and the colours there are amazing.
A western nightmare story … exactly so. I was thinking this could well have influenced Q. Tarantino, whose work I mostly much admire. After I finished watching, I remembered reading that QT had listed DIRTY OUTLAWS among his favorite SW’s.
Well I never made one cause I’m not up for a public mauling at the moment. I will try and mentally strengthen myself for the occasion.
Plus I still don’t quite understand how it works and don’t want to show myself up.
