Sidonis / Calysta Western Editions

[Nerf79]

This label has been quietly issuing classic Western movies over the past few years and I wonder if anyone here has had the chance to review any of them?

I'm especially interested in the Édition Collection Silver releases - there are some long-awaited classics among them, e.g. Hang 'em High (which already seems to be out of print), Seven Men From Now or Will Penny.

You can sometimes find French reviews on DVDCLASSIK; keep in mind all or almost all of the Sidonis releases will have forced subtitles.

Can you name of them, I have been buying many such movies from Germany and France. I can never remember the original titles, as often they aren't even printed anywhere on the releases, and the artworks are usually so generic that they all alike, so basically, if like me you buy too much and don't have time to watch them, you don't even remember what you bought.
In case it wasn't clear, by the way, I find those artwortks horrible.

They do, but that's something I'm willing to accept if that's the only hi-def release of the film so far.

I found a list of the releases here. I would have to research the original titles myself.
For what it's worth, I think the covers are neither better nor worse than what we mostly get from our German labels here. For me, it's the film that counts
