The Wild Bunch Sam Peckinpah, USA, 1969, 134m "At once strongly metaphoric and shamelessly visceral, Sam Peckinpah's saga of outlaws on the lam is arguably the strongest Hollywood movie of the 1960s - a western that galvanizes the cliches of its dying genre with a shocking jolt of delirious carnage." J. Hoberman, The Village Voice “With all due respect to Bonnie and Clyde, the modern era of screen violence starts here.” –Time Out New York The great Sam Peckinpah’s masterpiece and one of the key films of the late ‘60s, The Wild Bunch stars Holden as the leader of a gang of bank robbers near the Mexican border in the 1880s looking to make one last score. They’re also trying to outrun their own inevitable fate, which will be delivered by their former ally Deke (Robert Ryan). Peckinpah’s film is majestic in so many ways. Visually speaking, it’s a remarkable window on the American past (thanks to D.P. Lucien Ballard) — every shot teems with life, yet is tinged with an elegiac beauty. Peckinpah’s vision is vast, dense with incident and complexity of character, and a truly tragic sense of existence. And the performances are remarkable, from Ryan to Ernest Borgnine as Holden’s old friend Dutch, to a tremendous supporting cast that includes Peckinpah regular L.Q Jones, Strother Martin, Emilio Fernández, Ben Johnson, Warren Oates, and the great Albert Dekker. At the center of the movie is Holden, making his entrance into modern American cinema and creating in Pike Bishop one of its most lasting characters. “Whether it’s too violent or not I simply don't know,” said Peckinpah. “I tried to make it as tough as I know how.” Pauline Kael famously and aptly declared that The Wild Bunch was a “traumatic poem of violence, with imagery as ambivalent as Goya’s.” See both these films for the price of one!

Blake Edwards, USA, 1981, 122m Blake Edwards took three decades of frustration and insanity in Hollywood — his harrowing misadventures with 1970’s Darling Lili in particular — and processed it all in this bitingly funny comedy about a producer (Richard Mulligan) who makes a desperate attempt to salvage his big - budget family movie by adding sexually provocative material featuring the squeaky clean star, who is also his wife (played by the “squeaky clean” Julie Andrews, who starred in Darling Lili and was, and still is, the real Mrs. Edwards). With the exception of Sunset Boulevard and The Player, no film about Hollywood is more acerbic, a register in which Holden, who plays the director, was without peer. With a terrific cast, including Larry Hagman, Robert Loggia, Robert Preston, Craig Stevens, Robert Vaughn, Robert Webber, Shelly Winters and a very young Rosanna Arquette. The films most hilarious sequence (which we won’t give away) is based on a hilarious tall tale told by director Raoul Walsh.
