Was fortunate to see all 7 of the Boetticher/Scott/Brown westerns here in NYC on a big screen at MOMA. at a Boetticher retrospective. One of the best movie going experiences I've ever had. All 7 were excellent!! What a great team they were!!
Also of RS note: The BD collection called 12 Classic Westerns. It contains Ranown films as well as the following non-Ranown adventures: The Desperadoes, The Nevadan, Sante Fe, Man In The Saddle, Hangman's Knot, The Stranger Wore A Gun, and A Lawless Street.
Absolutely love the Ranown Westerns. I already own them on DVD and Blu-ray, but I'm tempted to get the Criterion UHD set as well. I like to recommend 7 Men From Now, which is only available on DVD, but it's definitely worth it. It's probably the best Scott/Boetticher collaboration.
Great review. I picked this set up during the sale last month but have yet to get to it. Randolph Scott probably made 50 Westerns. My favorite of his is "Ride the High Country."
Favorite westerns, The Searchers, Stagecoach, Fort Apache, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, Sergeant Rutledge, Three Godfather, Wagonmaster, My Darling Clementine, Three Bad Men…….
Non John Ford westerns, Rio Bravo which is getting a 4K is great, Red River, Johnny Guitar, The Wild Bunch, Ride the High Country, Shane, Once Upon A Time In the West, Good the Bad and the Ugly, Winchester ‘73, Man From Laramie, Naked Spur, Broken Arrow, these Ranown films, Rancho Notorious, Ox-Bow Incident, The Shootist…
@@20thand21stMovies it seems inevitable that The Searchers will get a 4K. The bluray came out in 2006 and it still is one of the most beautiful blurays. Being that it was shot in Vista Vision,the best format ever, a 4K would look absolutely incredible. Visually, it’s one of the most beautiful films ever made.
Aside from the Scott films, Bullfighter and a Lady was the film he was most known for. I’ve had these five on DVD for years and never heard them referred to as Ranown until Criterion announced this set. They were always simply the Boetticher Scott cycle.
Great review! I’m a big fan of the Boetticher films I’ve seen so far. Another Randolph Scott film he made that is not in the set but also worth seeing: 7 Men From Now.
Hello, pdxsoapopera! Good to know there is a nice contrast between the formats. I was impressed overall with the 4K visuals for the 5 films in this new set.
@@20thand21stMovies Good to know. They looked good on Blu-ray but I could see how 4K could make them look even better. I haven't watched the 4K versions yet.
Love movies! I have a collection that goes all the way back to black and white films. I am a professional artist and I share my paintings and demos here. Cheers on a Wednesday!
Cheers to you as well, Kendall! I have seen some of your paintings and they are incredible! Thanks for watching and glad to hear that you also love movies 🍿.

Cool. You're the second person in the comments to recommend 7 Men From Now. Will need to check that one out. Thanks!

Ethan, that's a nice list of westerns there! I still need to see some of those, including The Searchers and Fort Apache.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing the additional context around these films, Ethan!
Yup, Just the classic Randolph Scott Budd Botticher westerns....I guess we are showing our age.

Graham, glad you enjoyed this review. Thanks for the recommendation for 7 Men From Now!
Never heard of the Ranown Cycle before it was featured on Criterion Channel. So good! Great review! Also, my favorite was Seven Men From Now
Glad you enjoyed the review, Chris! Yes, I think these westerns are worth checking out. I enjoyed my first encounter with them 😀.
Need to pick these up. Idk how I haven't heard of these but right up my alley!
Hello, Andy! If you like westerns, I would definitely recommend this set for the next 50% off sale.
I have these films in the Powerhouse Indicator Blu-ray box set and also got the Criterion 4K set so I could see how much better the tilms look in 4K.
