Planet Outlaw.
Dusters, dirty cops, last-stand westerns, and Boston-by-way-of-Mitchum noir. The Backlot imprint for movies about men who picked the wrong side of the line. This is the outfit — discussions, watch nights, and the restoration list of what gets pulled from the dust next.

Restoration Posse
The outfit votes. Top nominee each quarter rides into the Vault for fractional restoration funding.
Ulzana's Raid (1972)
Best surviving print is a 16mm TV cut. Robert Aldrich deserves a proper scan.
The Outfit (1973)
Out of print. John Flynn's Parker adaptation has never had a clean release.
Dirty Little Billy (1972)
Stan Dragoti's anti-Billy the Kid. Negatives need preservation work now.
Prime Cut (1972)
Michael Ritchie's meatpacking thriller. Only sourced from old TV masters.
