I like to see this kind of poll suggestion.

I use the poll feature to promote unknown movies/actors that I personaly cherish.

He made over 90 films, do you want only iconic roles, or why so few options?

If there is a reason to keep the poll short, it may be better to say it in the intro.

@Pencho15​ no one suggested any more, so I was going with his most famous roles

@riverotter​ That's perfectly Allright. You should only make it clear in the title or description of your list so voters know this is limited to his most iconic roles.

@Pencho15​ & @riverotter,

Maybe something like this, will have the W.S. roles most people remember him for and be more accurate that it is only a portion of his "body of work". You could use the term, Showdown or another term, instead of Face-Off, if you want.

If you want to expand the answer choices you should be able to now. I added a fair amount of decent Woody Strode images to his media index, as well as, his respective filmographies media indexes.  You hardly had any images to work with before, so I can understand how that might have been limiting.

@urbanemovies​ exactly. There's only 35 slots, so why choose 35 and not his most iconic roles?

@riverotter​ I would pick the amount that you think are viable or notable enough to be included. But, another way your simple question could be read is pick your favorite Woody Strode role, but you can't choose from 95% of his filmography, which is what is what is implied with the broad question and limited answer options.

Personally, I think that a realistic number is somewhere between five and twelve notable roles for him. I also think a poll with twenty-five or so options is justifiable. But, if you are going to cap it at five, I would call it at face-off, because as Pencho notes, you are limiting it to only about 5% of the roles he has ever played. Plus, I think it would be more accurate and allow for an expanded option poll down the road with out confusion.

I think the only other not-lisited movie roles that I feel personally really strong about are his roles in Pork Chop Hill, Two Rode Together, and his smaller parts in big budget wide releases, like the Quick and the Dead, The Cotton Club, The Ten Commandments and The Black Stallion Returns (you may have different ones).

For your information, he also had a dozen or more notable guest star appearances on some of the most popular TV series of the day (including as Grand Mogul (a villaneous henchman) in the original Batman TV series) too.

Thanks that help a lot, if you put iconic in the question too, it would be even better.
