Films like The Man Who Killed Billy the Kid.

The Man Who Killed Billy the Kid (1967) reads as Sombre, kinetic, measured billy-the-kid / garrett, grounded in texture. Ambivalent, mid-stakes, measured. Every film below is ranked by distance across the same twelve hand-scored axes — with what it keeps, and where it walks away. Not a genre dump.
