Vote for Our Official Top 20

I will do the same for the Alternative Top 20.
Anymore updates for that, please get 'em in quick.

I’ve made changes, Ser Stanton! I edited my last list. I know that’s not generally encouraged and that you’d understandably rather we submitted new lists, but it’s only a few posts up and, given that you haven’t logged them yet, it just seemed neater to change that one, provided I let you know. You’ll no doubt note that my list has now moved beyond being merely “good looking”, and ascended to the status of “Pure, Unadulterated Spaghetti-Western Porn”.

Ok, I will take the changes. If one lets me know about his changes, like last.caress did, it is absolutely ok.

Btw every vote for Boot Hill is awarded with one free post in the forum. But only in the next 10 days. Good deal imho …

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).

EDIT: Do’h! I listed A Fistful of Dollars twice (thanks to Stanton for pointing it out), so Minnesota Clay works it’s way in…

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:

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: )
