Not a whole lot coming out this year.
Seriously, though, this is a good year for Westerns on DVD, and Warlock is my favorite of those titles release/to be released. It's also gotten some rave reviews as well. It seems to be one of those movies that both the critics AND the fans like.
(My new "most wanted" DVD is now The Naked Spur - and that's coming next year!)
