Films like Ringo and His Golden Pistol.

Ringo and His Golden Pistol (1966) reads as Neutral, breathless, measured bounty / golden-gun, 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.
