Looking at the site that lists forthcoming German Blu-ray releases, I see that Mackenna's Gold (1969) is being released on January 21st. it's a Mediabook & standard release. I don't know if it's a new transfer or not, but even if it isn't, at least it won't have forced subs like the French...
Koch released The Last Wagon in Germany (I don't know what it was like, I never bought it), but it's deleted & going for a few bob from 3rd party sellers now (& being a Fox film, it's now safely locked in Disney's vault). I'd just love a good looking Blu-ray of The Big Sky, but I suppose that...
Well as I've posted (I think I have, I can't be bothered to check) Paint Your Wagon would be absolutely nothing without Lee Marvin, he's brilliant, I even like his singing. Clint Eastwood makes no impression at all, & Jean Seberg seems somehow miscast (but I think that Diana Rigg who was going...

I put this news in the streaming forum (to answer a question), but it's much better here. It's been reported that a UHD (plus Blu-ray) Media Book edition will be released in Germany next year (no date yet), I don't think the specs are right, as the English track wouldn't be mono. It's 2:35, so...
It looks like Little Big Man (1970) is OOP in America (although you can buy it cheap enough in Europe s/h). I hope that means it's getting a nice new transfer, maybe even a Paramount Presents release, it certainly deserves it.
There must be thousands of westerns, & westerns are the films I get the biggest kick out of owning. A few wanted titles off the top of my head:
The Phantom Empire (1935) serial
Zorro's Fighting Legion (1938) serial
They Died With Their Boots On (1941)
3 Godfathers (1948)
The Big Sky (1952)...
