With the multitude of westerns that came out in May ("The Gunfighter", "Man of the West", "The Westerner", etc...), the re-release of "High Noon", and the upcoming release of "How the West Was Won", I started pondering about which major titles we are still missing.
Here's what I have come up with:
There are several other Boetticher/Scott westerns also. This list is intended to focus on major titles, but I must be missing some. Any thoughts? I realize that a few of these are available in other regions, but I'm not desperate enough to go hunting for any of these, but when they show up in Region 1, I'll be near the front of the line.
Here's what I have come up with:
- JOHNNY GUITAR (Nicholas Ray) - Joan Crawford, Arthur Kennedy, etc.. (LION'S GATE)
