@stanton Are you still planning to update the Official Top 20 at the end of this month?
Just aware I need to update the Atternative Top 20 but don’t want to do that until the Official one is set

Well, I’m waiting for one more announced list, and then I’ll do it.
Here’s my announced list. It’s very rushed, and actually I’ve yet to finish one of the films in the list (my ranking is based on how good it’s been so far, so I will most likely change it soon). As it happens, I was stupid enough to promise I would be able to do my list before the 2022 update. So don’t take it too seriously, because it’s not well-thought out at all, but for now, here it is;
1.Once Upon a Time in the West
2.The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
3.For a Few Dollars More
4.The Big Gundown
5.A Fistful of Dollars
6.Companeros
7.Duck, you Sucker!
8.Death Rides a Horse
9.Face to Face
10.The Mercenary
11.Tepepa
12.Night of the Serpent
13. A Bullet for the General
14. Run Man Run
15. Navajo Joe
16. My Name is Nobody
17. Django
18. Day of Anger
19. California
20. The Hellbenders
Almost forgot to do my 2022 update, not too much has changed, but I did add and take off a little.

So Sartana out and Run Man Run back in again. I’m glad I waited to update the Alt Top 20
Well, that was a year ago, and Run Man Run is back in the top 20, mainly because Sartana lost some points.
And FoD and Django swapped their places back. And the constantly climbing Giu la testa made it now to # 11, and will maybe one day enter the top 10, and Cemetery Without Crosses is probably for the first time before Keoma.
196 lists now, the 200 is in sighting distance …
Thank you for these lists !
Taken together I guess very roughly not far from half of all SWs are listed above.
If we in an indefinite future would vote for our Top 30 or 40 or so instead (with no explicit demand for that many in a vote) the lower ranked but good rated SWs would get a more representative ranking.
That is if the whole voting and compiling process would allow that extra work
However the Alternative Top 20 fills that purpose rather well…
The idea was once there to get a top 50 from those who have watched at least 300 Spags, assuming they have watched by that every Spag of historic importance. Such a list might be interesting, but it would be a lot of work to compile it, and I somehow doubt that enough fans would like to do the thinking to compile such a list. But with say 50 voters it would mean something …
I think the toughest thing for me would be putting them in any meaningful order beyond say the top 30. After a while they are kind of interchangeable in terms of ranking. I’d be happy to do one though if it would be of interest
Yes, the first 10 are easy, the next 10 a bit more tricky, but then the differences are so small that the films become … yes, interchangeable.
But then I could at least vote for some personal favourites like They Call Me Hallelujah (easily Carnimeo’s best) or Go With God Gringo or 15 Scaffolds for the Killer.
The kind of lesser known Spags I prefer definitely to “classics” like Death Rides a Horse or Day of Anger, to name the extremes.
I remember a time, eons ago, when Sabata and Mannaja were really close to the twentieth position.
You’re decidedly against the trend on this one, on IMDb for example it is considered one of the worst.
I see among them Cry Onion, The Crazy Bunch and The Man Called Invincible, and that’s a good thing…
Really?
Worse than the sequel? Worse than his last 2?
Hard to believe, but yes it is has its dumb parts, but also the best stuff Carnimeo ever directed. The first scene is incredibly good, as good as the best scenes from Corbucci, and looks pretty similar. And it has one of the best SW scores.
And of course everyone likes one or two of those most of the others hate …
Here is my new Top 20:
Some choices and omissions will appear eccentric. I plead guilty, but these remain the films I personally find most entertaining, or compelling.

What he said - beautifully put. I also plead insanity. Sometimes.
I tried to treat this as some kind of ranking, which may be the closest I’ll ever get to a hour with a medieval dentist.
Only 7 SWs from the Official Top 20, which means your list maybe qualifies for the 20 most deviating Top 20
Your list thus is closer to my Top 20 with 9 SWs on both of our lists. And I have My Name Is Pecos on 22 th position.
Excellent list!
