Re: Greatest Western of All Time - First Round!!
Like I said, no chance Fistful of Dynamite makes it, but it's my (current) favorite.
And it is not looking good for Paint your Wagon in the early going. I'm still amazed it made it into theatres when it did.

OTOH, Tombstone is, for me, the best western released since The Long Riders (which is dissapointingly behind to Shane here in the first round). I also think Tombstone is the closest the modern western has come to the classic western, and if it weren't for Dana Delaney's terrible performance, the movie would be perfect for me. So I voted for it over HPD.

Re: Greatest Western of All Time - First Round!!
You should include instructions for people to only vote when they have seen both movies in a pair. You can vote without voting for every matchup. Based on some of these results it seems obvious that people are voting against movies they haven't seen.

Re: Greatest Western of All Time - First Round!!
shocking that the quick and the dead is even on this list...talk about a horrible unwatchable movie.
Also surprised that mclintock is losing to open range....open range was ok but jeeeeezus some of the stuff in it was so forced....especially the love story..it's like they just threw it in because they thought it needed it.

And I think some people would vote even if they didn't know the particular movie in question, even if I told them not to. Like I've said before, this is more about discovering movies I don't know that well than it is about crowning an end-all champion. That being said, in each of the previous "greatest" polls a pretty damn strong movie has ended up winning, so I bet the final four in this one will end up being great ones as well. Swede
