PlisskensEyePatch posted:Want say all the 70s list are leaving out Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid. There's of course different versions out, but I recently followed Ride The High Country with the version of PG&BtK on Amazon right now and it's a really great double bill and it's really great to see the difference and similarities of Peckinpah in '62 and Peckinpah in '73. I love it and re-watch it regularly. There’s certainly flaws but it really works for me, practically as a 90 minute Bob Dylan music video. The supporting cast is fantastic; a wonderful collection of talented actors and recognizable faces from a great era, and yes, with Peckinpah at his best.

X-Ray Pecs posted:It’s not a western, but I want to see Cross of Iron because Peckinpah fought in the Pacific theater of WWII and was downing multiple bottles a day at that point, and he decided to make a movie about Nazis. It sounds fascinating. It's worth checking out. A very gritty movie, with a solid cast (not unusual for Peckinpah). Coburn is great in it.

PeterCat posted:PTaBTK is worth it just for the Knockin' on Heaven's Door sequence. Unquestionably the standout of the film. My low-key favorite, though, is the Christ-posed "Billy Surrenders" sequence and exchange between Billy and Pat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8t8-EytTy8 It's a shame it's not on the soundtrack, which is a regular listen for me.

Heavy Metal posted:Right on. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance is another cool one. And my favorite in that category, The Ox-Bow Incident.

FreudianSlippers posted:The interplay between the disparate characters all stuck in a tiny moving box together is great even if they're all a bit archetypical.. I don't disagree, but it has me wondering, were they archetypal for film characters at that point? They might have been on the early side of things in that regard when it came out.

Detective No. 27 posted:I watched the original last night. I really liked it, and it was extremely faithful to the book... Except for killing La Bouef which was an odd choice for it having been so faithful otherwise.

It's not easy to find but I'd recommend seeking out The Ox-Bow Incident. It's a quick watch, barely over an hour, and feels ahead of its time. One of those movies that sits with you for days.
