The only thing I can find are a few VHS copies of this movie on Ebay for $30+
I would hate to drop $30+ on a used VHS tape, especially considering I don't own a VCR.
Does anyone know how I might be able to see this movie?
Is there a DVD or VCD release planned?
Sadly...it hasn't been released on DVD. It played on Turner Classic Movies in September.......appropriately letterboxed for its Cinemascope presentation.........and announced beforehand on the Western forum here at IMDB.
I suggest that you watch for it on TCM......I taped it ...& although it needs a proper restoration & DVD treatment befitting such a good film.....it's still a pleasure to watch.

Hi,
If you live around in or around the NYC area, on March 30th and 31st of this year, the film is being played on a double bill with The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, at the Film Forum theater (209 W. Houston St. in Manhattan).
Doggone it. Just another reason why I wish I lived in NYC! Not too much of a chance of something like that happening in my town. We only have one theater that shows a few independent and classic films in a rare blue moon. But a couple of years ago, they had a memorial film festival featuring some of the favorite films of a man who was instrumental in keeping the theater going, and I got to see "Bullitt" on the big screen! Wow! It's cliche, but they really do not make them like they used to!
I wish "Ride The High Country" was available on DVD. And also, while not in the same genre, "Lonely Are The Brave." I saw it on an Encore channel a couple of weeks ago, and had not seen it since around 1967. Great movie!
Well, you never know- sometimes a movie will play in a theater like the Film Forum in NYC as a pre-emptive move before it goes to DVD; Samuel Fuller's The Big Red One theatrically premiered in NYC at that theater (I saw it beforehand at the NY Film Festival last October), and it's a likely sign it will be coming to DVD soon. So keep your fingers crossed- I am even more certain that they'll put Major Dundee out on DVD later on this year, as the unseen extended version (missing only six minutes of Peckinpah's original director's cut, a vast improvement) is premiering at the theater in April. It's a cool theater to check out of you'd ever have the chance to visit NYC, albeit at $10 a pop for a movie (unless you get lucky to see a double feature for ten).

Good news!!
Ride the High Country is now available on DVD, and I have seen it as low as $9.99.
Its also featured in a new Sam Peckinpah western box-set, along with Wild Bunch, Pat Garret and Billy the Kid, and The Ballad of Cable Hogue.
You can also catch RTHC on HDNet, where its in its current run, played a few times a week in hi-def.
