Looks like I'll be 2 for 4 here, which is the best percentage I've put up in any of these polls. Such a bummer about The Searchers.

John Ford represent, dammit!

seriously, it should at least be a top 2

High Noon won't make it either, which is a shame.

and after this round there won't be anymore John Wayne movies left standing.

Amazingly "The Searchers" is trailing Butch Cassidy, so you may be correct here.

It's not in my top two, but it is way ahead BC&TSK in my book. I will be pretty dissapointed if Butch Cassidy makes it to the final two or wins.

Also... Sergio Leone represent!

I actually just finished watching the Good, the Bad and the Ugly last night after purchasing the DVD at a 3/20 sale (best deal ever?). It was even better than the first two times I watched it.

GB&U, Unforgiven and Once Upon a Time... are my favorite westerns, I guess you guys didn't need my help up til now.

Where did the Magnificent Seven exit?

Sergio Leone is a god. I'm happy that The Good, the Bad, and The Ugly is doing well. I've rewatched that film countless times and I'm not even a fan of Westerns.

Re: Greatest Western of All Time - Elite Eight
 

I think Seven exited last round, losing to Butch and Sundance, which I was disappointed in as well.

Are there a lot of chicks voting in this or something? I always really liked Butch and Sundance, but thought of it as "The Western Most Likely To Appeal To Women."

It lost out to Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid in the last round. A fairly close one actually, closer than the match-up The Searchers in this round.

Didn't you see the poll on would you let a chick do you with a strap-on in here a couple days ago? Huge response, most saying yes. I think a sentimental western with a couple of hunks is right up OOT's...er...alley.

Well, say what you will about the monkeys who rate movies at IMDB, they got this one right. Seven out of the eight left are one or two seeds. Only Josey Wales (a six seed) managed to hang in there so far.

I actually find IMDB ratings to be extremely reliable. Whenever I'm on the fence about watching a movie, if it's got a 7.0 or higher on IMDB I watch and am rarely disappointed.

The only time the ratings are really off is with fanboy-sensitive movies like LOTR, Matrix, Star Wars etc.
