The Wild Bunch has been revered by many critics as "one of the best moveis of all times". Roger Ebert lists it as one of the greatest 100 films ever made. So I rented the dvd for the weekend. After watching it, I have to wonder if I am missing something. It is not a bad film, definitely better than a lot of westerns made in hollywood in those times, but to me it's hardly a "great" film.

Those of you who have watched The Wild Bunch please give me your thoughts.

thanks,

That movie was directed by Sam Peckinpah, which you either hate his work or love it. Sam like to include alot of hidden massages in his movies, so critics love him but media don't.

I think one of his best movie is "Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia" with Warren Oates. Kind of weird, but very solid.
