Great Western Movie Themes : The Wild Bunch

[ronetteloverz]

Thumbs up if you're fed up with ads at the opening...

[steelfukksw]

KICK ASS!!!!!!

[guzicaguzica]

if they move, kill 'em

[Markofsatan]

I dragged half my work colleagues to see this when it got rereleased but they thanked me afterwards.

Good to see Ernest still going - not such a lazy bastard after all eh?

[megashuttlecock]

CRACKWOOD a real western.

[terrydalley]

This was an A1 class movie that stood out

when there were 100s of westerns showing

because of top actors a top story and a

Director who new his job and don't forget

The excellent music ,something that is

Sadly lacking in today's films.

Its a film you can watch again and again

And it still draws you in.

hey dont leave out warren oates, the whiskey guzzling scene is classic

[TheTmny876able]

John wayne turned the part of the drunk, in Blazing saddles saying it would 'affect' his career.

[BIGKELL9614]

It's hard for audiences of today to comprehend that great movies were made in the past. Movies with real stories, and real actors, real visual effects. Not the crap they have now --- super heroes, low talent comedians, F-word innundated dialogue.

river2walk-I think Burt Lancaster might have been able to do OK as Pike but not Mitchum. Although I liked Bob Mitchum, I think taller men do better on screen presence. One of the best performances of Mitchum was in River of No Return. I think he and Monroe sizzled in that movie. Rory Calhoun did too. That's another great one I love. Monroe sang and acted pretty good. She was a little on the flaky side but she pulled it off. I just love westerns!!! Denise9482

[river2walk]

@Denise9482 Yeah....I think you're right about Mitchum...and in anycase William Holden had that great world weary look at that stage of his life and he fitted the part perfectly.....You love westerns!!! Join the Posse!!

[fekiramic]

@Denise9482

something wrong with William Holden?

[liljgoneman]

@Denise9482 Will you marry me?...... ;)

[Denise9482]

I really liked this movie. I was impressed with William Holden. I liked the all star cast. L.Q. Jones & Strother Martin were great. All of them did an excellent job! Robert Ryan, Warren Oats, Borgnine, Ben Johnson, I hated it at the end but on the other hand, it made for a hell of a western. Seen it a bunch of times!!! They don't make em like this anymore!!! Denise9482

[river2walk]

@Denise9482 Yeah.....William Holden was very good in this western but, believe it or not he was only third choice for the role of Pike Bishop! after Burt Lancaster and Robert Mitchum turned it down. Another interesting piece of information for movie buffs is the final shootout took twelve days to film... and in total Peckinpah used over eighty thousand blank rounds in the making of this great movie....some firepower!

[INUIT3333]

The best Sam Peckinpah Western!

The best Sam Peckinpah Thriller is getaway.

My favorite part begins at 6:30 and goes straight through to the end.

[Markofsatan]

'C'mon you lazy bastard'

[Ayelela]

This is called "train montage". One of Jerry Fielding's best!

[deadlyvicar]

make sense

[samuraiofsamuraiedo]

Ah the glory days of wetserns.

Marvin, Cleef, Wayne, Borgnine, Mitchum, Cagne, Arness, Lancaster, Bynner, McQueen, Bronson, Fonda, man how I loved watching all of their movies and more.

Thanks for the vid man.

[river2walk]

You've got some great names there hombre....did you know that Mitchum and Lancaster turned down the part of Pike Bishop in the "The Wild Bunch.....it didn't matter because William Holden was great ......The only one of the Wild Bunch still living is Ernest Borgnine, he's now in his mid nineties and still acting. Strother Martin who played one of the pair of scavengers is long dead but his partner, the great character actor, L.Q. Jones is still hale and hearty......God Bless Them All

[GojyotheFeared]

@river2walk

Indeed. In fact, I have one of Borgnine's most recent pieces of work, "Aces and Eights" where he costarred with Casper Van Dian.

Sadly thought, the glory days of Westerns seems to be long gone. Though some of the glory still thrives in other movies like, Tombstone and Open Range.

[TexasGun1911]

@river2walk - and Bo Hopkins is still alive as well - his character was killed in the first shoot-out...

[interphazor]

@samuraiofsamuraiedo you forgot Eastwood, pardner

[tmarkable]

My Name is Nobody, kool western also

[BIGKELL9614]

Holden vs Cruise

Ryan vs Clooney

Borgnine vs Standler

Oates vs Ferrell

Men vs Boys

[jmcossio87]

That's true, back then it was more about the job then the money, now it's the money over pussie roles like faggot Shia leQueer, Ferrel, Sandler, Murphy..but i give respects to actors like Crowe and DiCaprio who at least have the descensy to take jobs that have more thought into it

[26R02GM45]

The Wild Bunch was, arguably, the single best western I've ever seen.

Bornine, Holden, Oats, They were true actors, escaping inside their characters perfectly.

[trrinita]

Holden ,Borgnine

Cooper ,Gable,Stewart,Fonda,Cagne,Mar­vin,Lancaster ,Douglas,Newman ,Mc queen,Wayne ,Pec ,Mitchum, wow All of them were a fucking great unlike nowaday sissies and they made more money???

[melollylolly]

actors today are punks--these actors marvin, holden,borgnine, --presented macho--there is no one today who can compare

[chopperpilot5]

"Come on you lazy batards!"

The best western evah

[shanghaibenny2]

Thanks for the music. I missed it a lot.

[river2walk]

Your welcome shanghaibenny2

[coolerking81]

lee marvin was the one who was supposed to be getting the role of pike bishop but he turned it down for a cool one million dollars to star in paint your wagon with clint eastwood. not a wise choice in my opinion lol

[fekiramic]

I think william holden is just as bad ass in this role as lee marvin is in other movies.

[henson001]

Surely Marvin also felt that the period and costumes were too like "The Professionals" and didn't want to get caught in a rut.

[MorganJServices]

The general public lost interest in decent entertainment that added value to life, had actual story lines and a form of art filled with people who took pride in their work. Now it's all pop culture, idols, trash, blood, horror, greed and mind numbing nonsense.

I miss the golden era too.

[pervfighter]

I like the brainless fun but also likes this kind, I gotta pirate some a bit

[md1960md]

It's hard to have heroes and villians in a society that has no values.

[jerbear54]

you got it

[river2walk]

Yeah!! a great movie...and the only one of the actors still alive is the great Ernest Borgnine who will be 92 on his next birthday!..as a matter of interest Willam Holden was third choice for the role of Pike Bishop...Burt Lancaster was one of the actors who turned it down...I can't remember who the others were!

[TheRavenMoon]

thank you for stating so clearly what i also feel is wrong with society today
