It’s ok @Phil_H, you can proceed :smiley:.

I was womdering, is there a TOP 20 of the worst spaghettis?

You may find this of interest:

Good list, reminds I have THE DIRTY OUTLAWS on dvd, unwatched. I’ll remedy that soon.

I love The Dirty Outlaws! I wish Franco Rossetti directed at least one more Western.

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.

… in fact placing OUTLAWS at no. 13 on his top twenty list.

Btw of course I kicked Aldo’s list immediately out of the counting for the main list …

Ok, nobody took it seriously, and it was of course a joke. Even SD’s list is still in, and actually Aldo never made one.

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. :wink:
Plus I still don’t quite understand how it works and don’t want to show myself up. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Nobody is forced to make one, and you won’t be mauled for compile one.

How it works?
Simple. Just name your 20 favourite Spags (the ones you enjoy the most) in order of preference, and I count them for the big forum list.

That’s the most shocking information I’ve heard in years.

Yes, and the world is still suffering by that, without that list neither the Donald nor Covid-19 had happened, but it all has to be as it is …

Well, actually I understand now. After all, besides Quentin Tarantino’s list, SD’s list is one of the most important additions to our community.

Thanks for explaining that Stanton.
I will upload the list I made in near future… If I can make up my mind on the order of preference. :roll_eyes:

Are they in order?

Yes Stanton. For some reason when I numbered them a few appeared in the wrong order and one went missing when I posted the list. When I removed the numbers the list corrected itself. :man_shrugging:

Interesting choices, especially Johnny Oro and Apocalypse Joe. Good list!
