The Wild Bunch (1969): Sam Peckinpah, William Holden and Ernest Borgnine


     Directed by Sam Peckinpah, The Wild Bunch (1969) is ranked on both the Best Western list as well as the AFI's Top 100 Films of All Time. The story concerns a group of aging outlaws, struggling to cope with the end of the Old West era in 1913, and looking for one last score. Innovative in it's structure and realism (particularly in regard to violence), the film is still quite relevant and influential. The cast is wonderful, including William Holden, Ernest Borgnine, Robert Ryan, Edmond O'Brien and Ben Johnson.
