Yes, but you always have a so-called gray area. Dead Men Ride is from the 70s, but largely feels like a 60s SW, The Specialists is from '69, but feels like a true post western, more than like a transitional movie. It still has some true SW elements, but the overall atmosphere is that of a weird anti-western. There are more examples, and some will say this, others that about them, but art will always have its own ‘borderliners’.
Oh yes I do, this calendar that replaced the old Julian one was establish a few centuries after Jesus was born in the XVI century to be exact by t Pope Gregorian the XVIII, they actually didn’t know for sure the right year Jesus was born, but they needed a new calendar, cause the old Julian one wasn’t accurate so they assumed a date.
But the real reason there is no year 0 is a pure Mathematical one, and the Vatican State in the XVI had the top of art scientists, I’ll put in a easy way, if you add 0 to 1 what’s the result 1 yes, or 0+0 the result will be zero, so they couldn’t actually started from zero, zero its a paradox in mathematical terms a contracdition, if you have an exponent zero for any number the result it will be [size=12pt]1[/size], and for general information the zero only started to be used in Europe in the Midle Ages period , the arabs already knew it but didn’t use it, they used a blank space for it, the civilizations that first used the zero notion were the Hindus.
The making of the Gregorian calendar was of course a much complicated affaire than it may seem, they had to resolve e a lot of problems like the bissextile years, and had to used some complex astrophysics calculations, that were much more important than any historic issue, that’s why thay had to do the reform in the first place. Any way 0 is 0 not 1
[quote=“Stanton, post:31, topic:2778”]I complain nevertheless.
Night of the Serpent was already mentioned as from a year earlier.[/quote]
As you mentioned of And God said to Cain and Challenge of the McKennas as well (I think). But even you have gone for Cain… :o so…
… amongst all this temporal madness, a man has to have a standard to rely on and as I paid 60 knicker for my Glittering Images WAI set, that’s gonna have to be mine.
And I just realised it also has Cain as 1970 (which is in the seventies - there’s a clue in the number!!), so Adios Sabata and his black flares falls off the end of the list, and Cain gets in.
McKennas stay, as does the Serpent, of course.

Cain and MacKennas were released in early 70, but Serpent already in 69, just like El Puro. (Give Yul Brynner a baldy chance)
I have added Cain only recently, and only while all the others have already included it. I always follow the majority (unless I don’t care for the majority, which is of course mostly the case)
[quote=“Stanton, post:45, topic:2778”]1[]- Guns of the revolution;

Also Known as Rain for a Dusty Summer, until rencetly (since I start to be a SW user) never though it was a SW but it can consider as much A town called Hell or others of the kind. Director Arhur Lubin, with a Borgnine in great style its a very good film with a very strong critic towards relegion as I remember it
Ahh, ok, it was mentioned somewhere in this forum, but it seems to be a pretty unknown film.
Btw, you really prefer A Genius to My Name Is Nobody?
Humm I missed that one, but hey not gonna change things now my fault, that’s what you get for making lists in a bit of a hurry , but clearly Nobody should be in the list and on top of Genius,of the sole reason of beeing a better film (even if the two together don’t make one). To be honest neither of the two are really my cup of tea, but in the seventies they clearly are among the best 20.
Ah I really advise a watch to Guns of the revolution Borgnine is at his best
Phew, and I thought Portugal was really going down, but now there is hope again …
There’s never hope for us Stanton, its our fate
Ahhh triste fado!
There hope for Benfica, pp, you got Axel Witsel

I might change the sequence, but I guess my 70’s faves are:
- Vamos a matar, compañeros
- Una ragione per vivere e una per morire
- Keoma
- Testa t’ammazzo, croce… sei morto… Mi chiamano Alleluja
- Condenados a vivir
- California
- Anda muchacho, spara
- Blindman
- Lo chiamavano Trinità
- Il grande duello
- Mannaja
- Buon funerale amigos… paga Sartana
- Gli fumavano le Colt… lo chiamavano Camposanto
- A Town Called Hell
- Sella d’argento
- Giù la testa
- Continuavano a chiamarlo Trinità
- Indio Black, sai che ti dico Sei un gran figlio…
- Amico, stammi lontano almeno un palmo
- C’è Sartana… vendi la pistola e comprati la bara
Me too
That means war (or at least revolution)
