The Getaway and
The Wild Bunch are my two favourite Peckinpah flicks.
The first one's just a fantastic road movie with a übercool McQueen, a hot Ali MacGraw, and my favourite bad guy actor of all times - Al Lettieri (also highly recommended movies starring Al:
Mr. Majestyk starring Charles Bronson and
McQ starring John Wayne). Lucien Ballard's cinematography is great, too.
The Wild Bunch and me - love at first sight. William Holden, Ernest Borgnine, and Edmond O'Brien would have already been great. But Warren Oates (
Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia) and Robert Ryan (several great war movies, e.g.
Battle of the Bulge) - fantastic is the word! Have to watch it again asap!
Greetings!

Congratulations!
