Which puts it up there for second best Western ever.

Are you really putting this ahead of the fistful of dollars trilogy?

no western that passes Sicilians as Mexicans can stand against this

I like to think of the Man With No Name trilogy as one movie, because I can't pick a favorite amongst them. Plus, they do share most of the same actors.

So yeah, I'd say this one's either second or third (not sure where I'd put Unforgiven, either).

Also, is it considered tacky to rate your own submission?

I'll let it have fifth...maybe sixth...def under the no name trilogy and Once Upon A Time in the West.

Some do find it tacky...but it still deserves 5.
