[quote=“Stanton, post:1140, topic:190”]I will make the next update most likely on New Year’s Day.
So if some of you guys will prepare a new list or will alter their old lists …[/quote]
The most recent Top 20 I posted is still good for me.
I think there’s a couple changes and I sure won’t be watching any new one’s this week!
1 For A Few Dollars More
2 The Good, The Bad And The Ugly
3 Django
4 The Great Silence
5 A Fistful of Dollars
6 Death Rides A Horse
7 California
8 El Puro
9 I Want Him Dead
10 Have a Good Funeral, My Friend… Sartana Will Pay

15 Blindman
16 Ringo Kill - Night Of The Vipers

19 I Am Sartana, Your Angel of Death
20 And God Said To Cain

[quote=“Stanton, post:228, topic:190”]Hi,
I’m a new member in this Forum, and I like Lists.[/quote]
OK Brother Stanton - here ya go…
OLD LIST
For a Few Dollars More
…(there will be no more Leone’s now. It’s just that I think that this is so perfect. AFOD and AFODyna don’t come near - altho’ they are still great; TGTBaTU is overblown in comparison (but still great) and I hardly see OUATITW as a spaghetti at all. (Of course it is really, but it’s so epic … unbelievably good - one of the best Westerns ever - but that’s it … it’s crossed a border for me - Leone finally made the film that took him out of this genre. In my view just because he’s Italian and it’s a Western does not mean that this is a spaghetti - OK it is, but fuck it, it aint going in anyway.

A fistful of changes - but it’s been a while (page 12). In the ‘awards’ thread of Col. Mortimer, I had to be objective and vote for who I thought deserved … trying to use my head over my heart. This list is more subjective and comes from the heart. It was sad to see The Hellbenders go, and both Cost of Dying and Challenge of the McKennas could’ve got a bit nearer on a different day.
I’ve left in my old list, my reasons for NOT including OUATITW - that argument still holds (and I notice from going back over old posts, this was pre-dated with an argument by Brother Lindberg). Of course I realise Seb could have me thrown off the board for such blasphemous talk (in his eyes ;)) but a man’s gotta do…
[i]FOD[i] was considered tho’ - jus’ because I’ll never get over the time with the “Mild Bunch”, beer in hand, Almeria in the background, and then suddenly realising I was actually sitting between two of the buildings from the film. Emotional stuff, but I did eventually just stick with the most deserving Leone offering.
(Oh yeah - an’ in my list, in my eyes, AMCS IS a spaghetti western.)
So here ya go fellahs …

Mind you, you can call me a cunt if you want. ;)[/quote] ;D
I don’t really understand this scherp. Silver ??? ?
If you’re alluding to the use of ‘bad language’ then I see your point regarding Silence (age 13).
My rudeness is ironic and aimed at myself via Stanton and Yodlaf (2 people who I know wouldn’t be offended). The word itself means little without the context. It can be used in a violent or violently sexual way (which is not my intention here) - or it can be used in a post-modern ironic way - which IS what I intended.
I would not moderate my language to other (consenting) adults in this context - regardless of Silence’s age. He’s gonna come across this word many a time in his journey - and my contribution aint gonna do him no harm.
ironic way - which IS what I intended.
