Yeah, quite a few people have either revamped or changed their lists completely. In such cases, I’ve voided out their old lists, subtracted the scores from the total points and re-tallied them based on their new updates. It can be a bit taxing at times, trying to figure things out on my own, but as long as people just let me know they’re changing their lists it’s no problem. However, as anyone can manipulate the placement of titles on the Top 20 by altering their lists, I think this practice should be altogether outlawed. Naturally, we’re always gonna change our minds from day to day regarding which movies we like best. Hell, when I made my list, I put GBU in the #1 spot, while I’m actually leaning more towards “Once Upon a Time in the West” lately. If we all changed our lists on a regular basis, the Top 20 would be impossible to maintain. I’m not suggesting that if you’ve made a list, already, “too bad, you had your chance,” I’m just saying let’s not get carried away. As you have noted, alt0, it can get pretty damn confusing.
Sorry, I meant alk0.
Yeah i understand what you mean. i have a terrible problem coming up with top20 list, it would have to contain too many movies and i can’t come up with an order, so i don’t want to make a list now and change it after seeing some more great movies, trying not to make too many trouble 
No trouble at all, alk0, your concerns are completely valid. One thing that’s actually nice about all these scoring issues is that it illustrates to me that you guys actually care about getting it right.
we could have more than one list. say, we took the top20 films, added the 40 runners up, and put those into the forum for a vote, everyone having 20 votes, for example.
we could list the result on that page as well, by putting numbers in brackets, like “…and the ugly” (No 2 in Forum vote)
or something with “forum vote” being a link to the poll in the forum.
i was wondering: if run man run and mannaja are on tie on the same place then sabata and keoma shold be too. that would put if you meet sartana on 20th place.
Good eye, alk0. I’ve updated the list accordingly.
hmm, I think it was better before, now we have 22 films on top20. Run, Man, Run and Mannaja had same amount of points so they had to be both included to top20 even if that made total of 21 films.
I see what you’re saying. This is a tricky one…
here’s my revised list, not sure if it makes a difference
- Once Upon A time in the West
- The Good, The Bad and the Ugly
- For a Few Dollars More
- The Great Silence
- The Big Gundown
- Il Mercenario
- Django
- A Fistful of Dollars
- Companeros
- God Forgives, We don’t
- Face to Face
- A Bullet for the General (was 13)
- Run Man, Run (was 12)
- And God said to Cain
- Django Kill, if you live…shoot!
- Cemetery Without Crosses
- Texas Adios
- Keoma
- Forgotten Pistolero
- Navajo Joe (was Duck, You Sucker!)
I hate those lists, because it’s just too hard, but I think I made 3 changes that reflect my change of heart since I made my first version. I think at some point, we should select the top 60 films and then put those in an automated poll and give everyone 15 votes…
I’m new to this site. It is a godsend! thank you! What a way to start…
1.The Good the Bad and the Ugly
2.The Big Gundown
3.Navajo Joe
4.For a Few Dollars More
5.Day of Anger
6.Django
7.A Fistful of dollars
8.A Bullet for the General
9.Death Rides a Horse
10.The Man from Nowhere
…to be continued!
I plan on making my “official” list after ive seen matalo,bandidos and taste of killing.
Hey guys,
Thanks for the great updated list Sebastian. Noting your changes was extremely helpful. That should be the model for anyone who wants to tweak their lists. With those changes and jae morrison’s additions (welcome to the ranch, jae!), I bumped a few things around on the top 20. Usually, I wait for about 10 new posts before I do any editing, but we had some nagging issues to deal with; mainly, the fact that there were actually 23 films on our list (due to ties). Well, that’s been resolved now, and for the first time, we have a real top 20.
OK, here’s my revised Top 20. Too many changes to note I’m afraid!
- The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
- The Great Silence
- Once Upon a Time in the West
- The Big Gundown
- For a Few Dollars More
- The Mercenary
- Companeros
- If You Meet Sartana, Pray for Your Death
- A Fistful of Dollars
- Sabata
- Fistful of Dynamite
- Cemetery Without Crosses
- Have a Good Funeral My friend, Sartana Will Pay
- Adios Sabata
- I Want Him Dead
- Django
- Keoma
- A Bullet for the General
- My Name is Nobody
- The Stranger Returns
OK, i finally decided to try to make my top20 list. That’s the result:
1)Once Upon A Time In The West
2)The Good, The Bad And The Ugly
3)For A Few Dollars More
4)Fistful Of Dynamite
5)The Big Gundown
6)The Great Silence
7)Fistful Of Dollars
8)The Mercenary
9)Keoma
10)Death Rides A Horse
11)Blindman
12)Face To Face
13)Django
14)My Name Is Nobody
15)Cemetery Without Crosses
16)Return Of Ringo
17)Run, Man, Run!
18)Day Of Anger
19)Compañeros
20)A Pistol For Ringo
It was kinda hard but i’ve made it. There’re lots of movies i need to see (any of Sartana movies, first Sabata movie, Mannaja) so i will probably change that list in the future.
OK, I am going to try to do a Top 20 list. I hate trying to do this because my Top 20 fluctuates from week to week! Titles pop in and pop out, all the time.
And I hate trying to put them in order of prefernce; but, I am gonna give it a shot. With the exception of my Top 5, I could do a Top 15 of titles that tie with other titles for the same place on my list! Ha ha ha!
But, for right now–at this moment–my Top 20 would be:
- FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE
- ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST
- THE MERCENARY
- DJANGO
- FACE TO FACE
- THE BIG GUNDOWN
- $10,000 BLOOD MONEY
- THE RETURN OF RINGO
- JOHNNY YUMA
- IF YOU MEET SARTANA—PRAY FOR YOUR DEATH
- I WANT HIM DEAD
- ARIZONA COLT (THE MAN FROM NOWHERE)
- COMPANEROS
- A PISTOL FOR RINGO
- DEATH RIDES A HORSE
- BULLET FOR THE GENERAL
- MASSACRE TIME
- CEMETERY WITHOUT CROSSES
- A STRANGER IN TOWN (UN DOLLARO TRA I DENTI)
- DUCK YOU SUCKER (FISTFUL OF DYNAMITE)
ARRRGHHHH!!!
I had to stop before I got to BLINDMAN, KEOMA (except for the vocals in the music!), JOHNNY HAMLET, TEXAS ADIOS, MY NAME IS NOBODY, BLOOD AT SUNDOWN ($1,000 ON THE BLACK), BLACK JACK, GOD FORGIVES–I DON’T!, and on and on…
Congratulations Chris,
you’re the first one who has NOT GBU in his Top 20!!!
Nice to see Johnny Yuma in at least one Top 10 list.
Also nice to see that Tessari’s Ringo films got now a few of their hard deserved points.
[quote=“stanton, post:337, topic:190”]Congratulations Chris,

Yes, I am notorious for finding GBU to be a somewhat overrated. I like it a lot, and it is a fine film. But, there are many other titles I would rather sit down and watch over and over.
I am not surprised that I am the only one that doesn’t have it in his Top 20.
Alright then. So far, I came up with this:
- The good, the bad and the ugly
- Once upon a time in the west
- The great silence
- For a few dollars more
- Django
- A fistful of dollars
- Django, kill… if you live, shoot!
- A fistful of dynamite
- My name is nobody
- The mercenary
- Companeros
- Sonny & Jed
- Four of the apocalypse
- A bullet for the general
- If you meet Sartana, pray for your death
- The bountykiller
- Have a good funeral my friend, Sartana will pay
- Death rides a horse
- Johnny Hamlet
- Day of anger
A feel so like a spaghetti-western noob when I watch all this but it’s gonna change… Right now I’m trying to get my hands at any Spagheti-western I can get within my budget(that of an eighteen-year-old poor student)(and I only spent lots of money on dvd’s when I watched it first and it’s a very good film or I’m a big fan of the maker) and are trying to get to turn watching Spaghetti-westerns and writing about them in a sort of a school assignment(doing filmschool right now so it should work, for film history classes or something).
