Yea I would seriously question the ones in yellow

What do you mean?

[cigar joe]

What do you mean?

I mean they wouldn't necessarily be on my top 100 list until I exhausted the ones that I feel are better,  for instance I would split the "dollars trilogy" into separate films and also include "The Bravado's", "Lawman", "The Iron Horse", "Il Mercenario", "The Big Gundown", "The Great Silence",  "Duck You Sucker", "Death Rides A Horse", "Seven Ways From Sundown, "Viva Villa", Villa Rides" Viva Zapata", "Last Train From Gun Hill", "Hell's Heroes", "The Law and Jake Wade", "True Grit" (both versions), etc., etc.

So you wouldn't include Little Joe?

[cigar joe]

no 

[titoli]

no 

But I meant this:




 

[dave jenkins]

Any list that crams all 3 Dollars films into a single entry is suspect.

[cigar joe]

But I meant this:




 

I thought you meant this  :

[titoli]

...course... We'll have to check both. I'll take the veggies, you the other.

[T.H.]

Fan or not, I don't see how you can question the inclusion of Johnny Guitar, Forty Guns, Run of the Arrow, Destry Rides Again (the first hour is as close to perfect as I've seen) and Duel In The Sun (which is such a beautiful looking movie that it has to make a top 100 imo) on a top 100 westerns list.

Not a good list but a hell of a lot better than that other one.

If it was emphasizing influential Westerns maybe, but it was "greatest", I really don't like Johnny Guitar, Forty Guns, Run of the Arrow, Destry Rides Again all that much, I do like looking at Pearl Chavez in Duel In the Sun though. 

[T.H.]

Fair enough, and at least we agree about Pearl lol.
