What are your 5 favorite Anthony Steffen films?

I think Anthony Steffen is underrated, I feel like everyone that says he can only do his stone-faced thing are folks that have only seen his most famous and accessible stuff. And he’s done more SW’s as a leading man than anyone (I believe), so I’m gonna have to extend my list to my top 10 Anthony Steffen movies.

  1. Blood at Sundown
  2. Shango
  3. Garringo
    4.Train for Durango
  4. 7 Dollars on the Red
  5. Cry for Revenge
  6. No Room to Die
  7. W Django
  8. Django the Bastard
  9. Apocalypse Joe

I agree Berger King!

For me ~

7 Dollars on the Red (1966)
$1000 on the Black (1966)
A Train For Durango (1968)
Blood at Sundown (1965)
Gentleman Killer (1967)
Django the Bastard (1969)
A Coffin For The Sherriff (1965)
No Room to Die (1969)
Ringo Face of Revenge (1967)
W Django (1971)

Uh . . . thats more than five . . . :o

My favorite “Stoneface”-SW so far:

  1. A coffin for the Sheriff
  2. Killer Kid
  3. Django the Bastard
  4. Train for Durango
  5. Blood at sundown

I don’t have any Steffen favourites, I don’t think ive seen enough of his films yet. In the ones I have seen, he comes across as a poor mans Clint Eastwood, complete with stubble drawn on his face using charcoal. This is apparent especially in Return of Arizona Colt :smiley:

Steffens best roles were the ones he did as little acting as possible. With that being said, he is my fav SW actor. Top 5 Steffen movies :

no room to die
w django
dollars for django
django the bastard
Arizona colt hired gun

didn’t see Garringo yet, but I’m told its really good. Apocalypse Joe was worth mentioning as well.

Welcome to the forum! :slight_smile:

Oh and best Steffen movie title and poster : too much gold for one gringo

From the ones I’ve seen I would go with:
1.No Room To Die
2.Django the Bastard
3.Garringo
4.Shango
5.W Django

Perché uccidi ancora?
Killer Kid
Django il bastardo
Mille dollari sul nero
Una Lunga fila di croci

Can’t think of other Steffen films that I have actually liked.

They’re all ranked in my Steffen top 10.

Didn’t you like the two directed by Rafael Romero Marchent?

The only ones I really dislike are Ringo Face of Revenge and Dallas

The only one I really really dislike is Dallas. It was quite a struggle to finish watching this turkey.

That would be Dead Men Don’t Count and Garringo.

When I watched them perhaps three years ago I put down DMDC as below average, Garringo as avarege. Today I don’t remember much of them. As you have pointed me in the right direction before, I’ll give Garringo another try. The Explosive Media BR is on its way.

Garringo did rise some in my esteem after watching the Explosive Media BR, from a little below average to a little above. Good film for Steffen. Still a little too old fashioned for my morbid taste (the leading citizens respectable, the lawmen honest and the women lovable).

  1. Garringo
  2. Shango
  3. W Django!
  4. Django the Bastard
  5. Seven Dollars on the Red

So, after my Steff fest I thought I should put some kind of preference list here.

The first 3 pretty much picked themselves for me but after that it all becomes a bit arbitrary. But the thread says top 5 so here are my top 5 (probably)

Killer Kid
Django the Bastard
Seven Dollars on the Red
$1000 on the Black
Shango

The next half a dozen or so would be interchangeable from the following:

Ringo, the Face of Revenge
Gentleman Killer
Dead Men Don’t Count
No Room to Die
A Few Dollars for Django
Apocalypse Joe
Man Who Cried for Revenge
A Coffin for the Sheriff
