Review of The Wild Bunch (1969) by Lanning : — 29 Mar 2008
The quintessential "death of the West(ern)" film. Peckinpah was honorably amazing in his quest for brutal realism on screen. Love what the Monty Python group did in tribute to him with the lawn party. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid also salutes Peckinpah's vision.
Possibly Holden's, and very possibly Borgnine's best work, although his Marty performance is justifiably legendary and hard to beat.
