Only 4 new lists and a few altered ones. Also 7 older lists by ex-members were erased (see page 59).
So we have actually 171 SWs from 102 lists.
We have a new # 10 with Face to Face, OuTW is back on # 2, The Specialists is back in the top 50 and Yankee is for the first time in the top 50 (quite a career), which also means that Requiescant and Trinity Is Still My Name are out of the club at the moment.
The Trinity one can disappear from the earth for all I care - but I’m surprised about Requiescant. Interesting stuff.
- The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966)
- Once Upon a Time in the West (1968)
- For a Few Dollars More (1965)

- I giorni dell’ira (1967)
- Faccia a faccia (1967)
- Companeros (1970)
- A Bullet for the General (1966)
The list is obviously a subject to change. And concerning those that aren’t Italian, I still consider them to be spaghetti westerns because of their independent spirit and similar style to Leone’s work (e.g. Hossein is French, right). After all, this is a genre that will never die and most movies that are keeping it alive aren’t Italian!

I understand perfectly what you mean, but I can’t count these 3 for the voting.
We have made somehow the decision not to include Spaghetti influenced US westerns or other Euro westerns, and we had a certain amount of discussions about this subject before. And at least we have already included some which are “grey area” films, and the a few posts above mentioned The Taste of Violence was the last one.
But we have also dropped some like El Topo or The Quick and the Dead.
It would be great if you could name your # 21 to 23, which will then be the # 18 - 20 for the official counting.
Ohh, and welcome to the forum. A top 20 is always a perfect way to start …
First of all, thanks for the work Stan. It’s always fun to have a look at the latest figures.
That’s interesting!
Yes, the simplistic One Silver Dollar is a bit odd in the company of his other choices.
Maybe an underrated classic?
I think not!
Also welcome, beteigeuse.
One Silver dollars is indeed a classic of the early SWs. It grossed almost as much as the ringo films in Italy.
In fact it made more money in Italy than the Ringo films. Gemma’s most successful SW.
But by far not his best.
I’m surprised. Did I not know that. ???
More successful than I Giorni Dell’Ira or the Ringo films.
I’m shocked. :o
Don’t be shocked. Regarding the fact how many SWs were published in a short period of time, I think success was partly accidental.
Gemma’s top 5:
12 Un dollaro bucato Ferroni, Giorgio 6.857 mio admissions
13 I giorni dell’ ira Valerii, Tonino 6.815
14 Adios Gringo Stegani Giorgio C. 6.626
16 Una pistola per Ringo Tessari, Duccio 5.903
18 Il ritorno di Ringo Tessari, Duccio 5537
First number is the rank compared to all SWs.
OUR Gemma’s top 5:
15 Day of Anger Valerii, Tonino 394
21 The Return of Ringo Tessari, Duccio 259
31 A Pistol for Ringo Tessari, Duccio 109
38 California Lupo, Michele 83
41 Arizona Colt Lupo, Michele 74
Not mine, Day Of Anger is overrated!
Calm down, buddy! Mine neither.
