Please, could you bring them in a order for the forum voting?

Cause they get there points according to their rank.

3445

Ok..Does order mean the most famous or most influential, or just personal favourite?

3446

Good question.

I prefer to name the personal favourites, the ones you enjoy the most, your 20 island films, the 20 you watch the most.
Make it as honest as possible.

Subjectivity rules …

OK - here goes. I have seen about 260 of them so far. But I am not sure there are any masterpieces missing.

  1. GBU
  2. OUATIW
  3. The Great Silence
  4. FAFDM
  5. FOD
  6. The Big Gundown
  7. Duck You Sucker
  8. A Bullet for the General
  9. Tepepa
  10. A Pistol for Ringo
  11. The Return of Ringo
  12. Arizona Colt
  13. Keoma
  14. The Mercenary
  15. Death Rides A Horse
  16. Django Kill
  17. Day of Anger
  18. Dead Men Ride
  19. The Forgotten Pistolero
  20. If You Meet Sartana Pray For Your Death

(my 21-40 is probably a more interesting list I think. No Django on top 20 which might be a mistake)

Interesting. After your post the other day I didn’t think this would be anywhere near your top favourites.

3450

My mistake..I thought he meant top 20 as in famous/influential…have to do another one..I was a bit harsh on OUATITW anyway,was in a bad mood..

3451

So,its a Top 20 rerun. ‘‘Favourite’’ Spaghetti westerns rather than influential or best..

1. The Good the Bad and the Ugly 2. For a Few Dollars More 3. Death Rides a Horse 4. A Bullet for the General 5. Trinity is Still My Name 6. Hellbenders 7. God Forgives I Don’t 8. The Price of Power 9. A Professional Gun/Mercenary 10. A Fistful of Dollars 11. Jonny Yuma 12. The Return of Ringo 13. Today Its Me Tomorrow You 14. The Big Gundown 15. Revenge in El Paso/Ace High 16. Face to Face 17. Vengeance 18. They Call Me Trinity 19. Companeros 20.

Btw that’s a not so good idea, if one changes his list it should be always done in a new post. Otherwise I most likely won’t notice it, and then the changes won’t get counted for the big list.

Even if the changes are done only a few hours later I might have already put it into the big list.

Everybody can post an altered list as often as one likes to change it.

3454

Interesting in the sense of you like some of them more?

3455

Thanks for the info. Where can we find the general extended list? (Would like to use it as a watchlist for those I haven’t seen yet).

3456

Last two or three top 20’s I’ve seen from users seem to be missing El Puro. Must be human error.

3457

I usually post the updated complete list every year in January, and change then the top 20 on the main site.

The forum’s Top 20 (or actually top 50) can be viewed here: Essential Top 20 Films - The Spaghetti Western Database
At the bottom of that page you always find there a link to the complete list.

Thank you

3459

I apologise for the list update. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. Will follow your advice if I want to change anything in future.

I think the choices 21-40 tend to be more personal and idiosyncratic once the ‘biggies’ (Leone, Corbucci and Sollima) have been taken care of.

Post it in the alternative top 20, if you haven’t already.

No need to apologize, actually it is nowhere clearly described how to do these lists.
