Quentin Tarantino's Top 20 Spaghetti Westerns

[Arizona Colt]

Anybody who rates the second installment of the Sartana series as the best of the franchise is not to be trusted. Those are my rules. I make em' up and mankind must follow em'.

Where do you see the second SARTANA movie? I only the see the first movie listed.

Whoops. I read it quickly and saw Death was the last word in the title.
I assumed it said I am Sartana, Your Angel Of Death.
I take back what I said then.

Although I could make up a new rule...
 People who don't like Light The Fuse... Sartana Is Coming the best are not to be trusted...

These are all odd, at least to me, especially on a top ten list. I couldn't do a top ten for any genre as it would constantly rotate. But these few here would never enter a top ten, IMO.

16. Shoot the Living, Pray for the Dead--a curio that's mildly enjoyable
18. The Ugly Ones--awful
19. Django, Prepare a Coffin--good comic style fun, but nothing more. Maybe top 50.
20. Machine Gun Killers--good story but lifeless direction leads it nowhere, IMO. I think he just liked the title.

And these wouldn't even be runner ups for me--

Four of the Apocalypse--a big mess of a movie
Ace High--I liked it, but not as much as the first film
Boot Hill--awful
Minnesota Clay--decently average flick
Five Man Army--so much potential wasted and a flat conclusion
Requiescant--quirky western, but not much appeal outside of of curiosity value

back to Chino: I think it also might be one of the worst movies I've seen because there's absolutely zero camp value or entertainment.

some of the worst set designs I've seen as well: baby blue painted walls in a bar? wat?

there are absolutely zero redeeming qualities to that movie, none. I can't believe the guy who directed bad day at black rock had involvement with this movie.

19. Django, Prepare a Coffin--- Maybe top 50.

Not even

Boot Hill--awful

You finally saw it then?

Five Man Army--so much potential wasted and a flat conclusion

The heist was great though.

Agreed with everything else except , maybe , 4 Of The Apocalypse and Kill And Pray (which I rate very highly).

I put up a thread here ages ago.
I hated it.

The sex scene between Bronson and Ireland intercut with two horses getting it on has got to be the most embarassing thing I've ever seen in a motion picture.

Have you ever seen the sex scene in Munich?

[Arizona Colt]

You finally saw it then?

I probably saw that movie before you did. Saw it on video tape years back when the Trinity movies were first released to tape. My dad was a huge fan of the Terence Hill western movies.

[The Firecracker]

Have you ever seen the sex scene in Munic?

Yeah, intercut with people being blown to bits by machine gun fire.

Never thought I'd see that in one of stevey's movies.

Finally! Thank you for the clarification on that!

Haven't seen CHINO yet, but want to because of Bronson's involvement.

Then it's time to get a good copy and watch it again.

I have a feeling I'll rate it higher if I can see it on the ideal transfer.

With a title like FIVE MAN ARMY, you don't go into it expecting a heist. The only thing I liked about this one was how good Graves was here. Didn't expect to like his character as much as I did.

Seeing the venerable, and highly respected Japanese actor, Tetsuro Tamba was a major highlight despite him being silent throughout.

The other two movies I won't be watching again....ever. Maybe I will give KILL & PRAY another look, but not the awful Fulci movie. Watched it twice now and don't get what the fuss is about aside from a couple of gory moments.

Don't do it it. I know you will have seen worse but don't put yourself through this kind of torture.

lol. sadly it's the best part of the movie.

Seen the good copy and it's still shit. Whether it's shined up, or straight out the poop chute, it's still shit.

I guess you've never seen GOODBYE, UNCLE TOM (1970), then.
