The Hitcher (1986): From the Ruthless Archives
Read more: The Hitcher (1986): From the Ruthless ArchivesA continuous string of all the nightmares of the long drive. Rutger Hauer is a revelation, less man than terrible angel of hatred in this tense 80s Western Gothic.

Unforgiven (1992): From the Ruthless Archives
Read more: Unforgiven (1992): From the Ruthless ArchivesFor whatever reason, the Western became very sick in the 1970s, one of its shuddering last breaths taken when a scar-faced Clint Eastwood jumped behind a Gatling gun to let loose merry hell in the brilliant Outlaw Josey Wales.
