I'll have to give Cable Hogue another go, its in the Peckinpah western box set i own.

I chose the Wild Bunch as i've not seen many of his films, Straw Dogs, Wild Bunch, Ballard of Cable Hoague, not seen Cross of Iron but i do own it and saw Convoy years ago and can't really remember much about. Love The Wild Bunch though.

Sorry forgot about Alfredo Garcia, man that was a good film. Warren Oates was bloody determined to get that head to it's destination....

One of his films that I always enjoy rewatching is THE OSTERMAN WEEKEND.
What a stellar cast eh?

Deserves a BD release ASAP! :nod:

I put bring me the head of alfredo garcia.

I've raved about this film elswhere but i dont mind doing it again. I think its his most underrated movie, most people dismiss it because it has somewhat of a bleak nhillistic view of the world, but thats part of its appeal for me.

Its warren oates best performance for sure (though I also have quite a soft spot for race with the devil) the soundtrack is phenomenal, the script is great with some very well written dialouge and we get oates talking to a rotten head for a fair portion of the movie whats not to love.

Second on my list would be wild bunch, third straw dogs, fourth cross of iron... fifth and sixth are pat garrett and the getaway but that could change if we ever get peckinpahs desired cut of either film.
