The fact you didn't include any of Sergio Leone's Dollars Trilogy, let alone The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966), officially disqualifies your list.

Putting any of those bits of boring, one dimensional, hate mongering, trite crap would disqualify the list. The list is OFFICIAL. Sure, it offends the Beavis and Butthead crowd, but it sticks out as a classic list for that reason. The haters who love Leone crap make the most noise, and try to control everyone else, which is what makes their lists inferior. Lets see. Dollar trilogy. Everyone kills everyone else, except that there are demi gods who can't be killed or even shot in the back by mortals, and can only be defeated by other demi gods. Too traditional with their Greek heroes, and yet most of their fans are such morons that they call them "anti heroes". Case closed on those bits of waste. Worst thing is how they waste the inspirational music of Morricone on the most uninspired and non-credible characters in any Western ever. |

A whole lot of those are actually in the top 100 all time. Posse From Hell, Ride Lonesome, Johhny Guitar, Sheepman, Along Came Jones, are in the 41- 50. Barely missed the cut. If you would have been out to make the vote, you might have made the difference. |

I thought you were just facetiously announcing your own picks as "official." I got it now and will look over the final list for films I may have missed. |

I thought you were just facetiously announcing your own picks as "official." I got it now and will look over the final list for films I may have missed. The poll was on February 31. Registration was on February 30 at the secret hide out. But you can make it next year. Registration will be on February 32 over yonder. Yeah, it is kind of tongue in cheek as to the officiousness here. I really like most of your picks. Vera Cruz is one of those interesting sprawling scenic Westerns that is kind of like Rio Lobo and other "guy" films. Mostly fluff, but pretty grand fluff. Just a lot of fun. I usually debate on whether to include that in my top 100, as I only like to have about 10% fluff films of style over substance. |

Too traditional with their Greek heroes, and yet most of their fans are such morons that they call them "anti heroes". Case closed on those bits of waste. Worst thing is how they waste the inspirational music of Morricone on the most uninspired and non-credible characters in any Western ever. Oh I get it. You see that The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is loved worldwide and is critically acclaimed as a cinematic masterpiece, so you want to be that special enlightened rebel who has an opposite opinion rather than appreciate the movie's direction, cinematography, pacing, suspense and realism, all of which are superior to that of any western of its time and even today, with complex characters who look dirty and criminal like we're watching them in the actual old west, unlike in other westerns with clean-cut tidy characters who look like they're performing in a movie studio. Describing it as a movie where "everyone kills everyone else", misses the point. Okay then, enjoy your make-believe "official" list. |

Nope. No Leone movies?! No Rio Bravo OR even El Dorado but you include the weak Rio Lobo?!!! Big Jake is okay but its not even a top 100 western. The Intruders, Ride with the Devil, The quick and the dead?!!!!! Are you fucking kidding me? If you're going to shoehorn modern westerns in then why not pick good ones? Unforgiven, Open Range, Silverado even Tombstone would have been better choices. The Quick and the Dead?!!!!! Seriously?!!!!!
This list is shit. Do you even like westerns? At least you didn't include Django Unchained or that pretentious pile of shit McCabe and Mrs Miller.
