When critic Kim Newman told me some of his favourite SW’s, he also followed up with:

"Though I’m more drawn to American Westerns of the Ford-Hawks-Boetticher-Mann-Daves-Peckinpah school. A list of underappreciated US Westerns:

At Gunpoint, A Big Hand for Little Lady, Curse of the Undead, Fury at Showdown, Man Behind the Gun, Posse From Hell, Ride in the Whirlwind, Tension at TableRock, Terror in a Texas Town, Ulzana’s Raid, A Man Alone, Silver City, The Hired Hand."
