Maybe 250… 
But seriously i guess i will have to give it another fairer viewing eventually. 15 years is a long time…
…to hunt a man down and kill him!
Maybe, or maybe you change instead the general view on SWs for the next 10 years … and the golden period of SW viewing is followed by the silver age
a funny thought…but unlikely!
OK…finally. It’s been pretty hard as i don’t really like placing films in favourite positions really. Bear in mind it’s all down what i like watching the most for whatever reason…director, actors, cinematography, socio-political stuff play no part here. Soundtracks maybe a little… Also it’s bound to be subject to change as i have a massive backlog to watch (not kidding here…a little over 100 films…)
- The Return Of Ringo
- Johnny Yuma
- For a Few Dollars More
- The Big Gundown
- Day Of Anger
- El Puro
- One After The Other (Uno Dopo L’Altro)
- I Want Him Dead
- Johnny Hamlet
- Spara Gringo Spara

hang on…why does the number eight come up as that smiley???

A very interesting list. And despite all the banter I genuinely like seeing a list that isn’t so dominated by Leone. There’s some great films here in my opinion as well as some ‘less obvious’ choices which are always good for discussion.
Hell, apart from anything else, any list with Return of Ringo at the top gets my full blown support! 
Well worth the wait!
[quote=“Silver, post:726, topic:190”] 8) I Want Him Dead
[/quote]
Is that the title that would all make us laugh?
if so, I don’t really get it. Haven’t seen it for a while, but remember it as a very decent SW, not by any stretch of the imagination 'laughable’
You made me very curious and I’d expected at least something like Little Rita nel West
Good list, Giuliano at n° 1 makes me happy!

8) is automatically converted to a smiley, not more laughable than that I think 
Little Rita of the West is actually better than its reputation. I’ve seen far far worse in the genre… Still won’t make my Top 20 though. The soundtrack (minus the songs) is actually pretty nifty too.
8 + ) = 8)
Didn’t know that
How the hell did you prevent it from becoming a smiley Søren?
I usually write it like this: 8 ) ,using space between keys.
[quote=“Silver, post:726, topic:190”]
14) Pistoleros[/quote]
This is Ballata per un pistolero, not In a Colt’s Shadow?
Yes, correct! 
Sorry for the confusion
Not your fault.
Pistoleros is the german title of In a Colt’s Shadow.
I’m always asking if it’s not 100 % sure.
Btw, you have pushed up several films quite a lot. Amongst them my darling El puro.
Maybe time for a main page update. Sunday, or so

Ah…sounds interesting. Just hope Return of Ringo is one of the films that got pushed up quite a bit! And El Puro definitely deserves a higher placing IMO. I’ll be curious to see how the Official list looks when you’ve updated it
I just stared very angrily at the screen (and checked the Don’t use smileys checkbox in Additional Options before making the post) …

Great list Silver, lots of interesting titles. I’m a big fan of Return of Ringo too. El Puro, Black Jack, Death Sentence: nice 'n gritty. Spara, Gringo, Spara is another good one that seldom gets a mention.
The list is interesting in it’s favor of some more obscure films.
