Panhead - This font shows the kind of flourished more flowery, tooled look of some leather. It also has a great gritty, dirty, worn texture to it.
Nashville - This also has a great texture to it, but shows more of a blocky letter form. When I saw this I thought of branded leather.
Western - I was drawn to this font because the movie that I watch was made in the 1960s and this kind of showed that "60s interpretation of an old western" that I think would be an interesting dynamic to keep in the title credits
Perdido - I like this one because it's a good mixture of the gritty, torn texture with the kind of saloon/sixties vibe from Western
Movie Notes
- gritty
- western
- scratched film - keep this! GREAT TEXTURE!
- in the title credits, gun shots move you from one group of information to the next
- currently has a handwritten typeface - looks kind of like a saloon sign
- gun-slinging
- men being killed in cold blood
- "WHERE LIFE HAD NO VALUE, DEATH, SOMETIMES HAD ITS PRICE.
THAT IS WHY THE BOUNTY KILLERS APPEARED."
- AWESOME whistling sound track - very characteristic, keep this!
- the sophisticated, calculate bounty killer (Lee Van Cleef) vs. the renegade, poncho-wearing bounty killer (Clint Eastwood)
- saloons, smoking, gambling, loose women
- they're after a crazy, ruthless killer
- dramatic music and quick cuts is what creates the tension
- BANK ROBBERY
- pocket watch with a picture of girl inside is significant for both the bad guy (El Indio) and Van Cleef

This is the BEST picture of what I want to convey. It's a worn, branded, scratched piece of leather that has character and history.

You might to check the links to your fonts again, there seems to be an error and I wasn't able to see them.
The good thing is that, based on the description and your imagery, I was able to visualize what they would look like. I am really drawn into the last image too! And if that is exactly the type of visual you are going for, then keep going forward with it.
