Can't say I've heard of any of those. Except Thomas Crown Affair, but then again, I'm not a big Western buff prior to the re-emmergence of the Western in the '80s.
What I find unappealing with older Westerns is the unrealistic costumes. The skin-tight slick leather and the Sunday church-esk vests. I prefer the dirtier, rougher, loose-hanging outfits. Oh, and don't forget the scruffy faces. In a lot of those older films, every cowboy and gunslinger was clean shaven, and that's just not the typical appearance of an old cowboy.

HUNTING PARTY is probably one of the most violent western (for 1971) gene hackman does some nasty things in this film, fitrst with a chinese prostitute, then what he does to candice bergen is kinda repellent.

Several of these titles need to be added to the DVD Talk list of upcoming releases. I found out about next month's release of "Princess and the Pirate" by checking Amazon for it today. I checked back at DVD Talk to see if any other Bob Hope movies would be released at the same time, but even that one wasn't listed.

For me the big western day is on 05/24 when Fox releases Drums Along the Mohawk, Buffalo Bill, Broken Lance, In Old Arizona, Forty Guns and especially Dymtryk's Warlock. Banner day.
