Wild Bunch, The (1969) -- (Movie Clip) Shall We Gather At The River Part of Sam Peckinpah's preposterous opening, in which the prayer meeting enters the incipient shootout, Crazy Lee (Bo Hopkins) abuses hostages, and rivals Thornton (Robert Ryan) and Pike (William Holden) miss shots at each other, in The Wild Bunch, 1969.

Wild Bunch, The (1969) -- (Movie Clip) You're My Judas Goat After the disastrous failed bank-heist ambush, bounty broker Harrigan (Albert Dekker), working for the railroad, chews out the goofy crew (Strother Martin and L.Q. Jones as Coffer and C.T.) and threatens to send their angered leader Thornton (Robert Ryan), the former partner of the hunted Pike, back to prison, in Sam Peckinpah’s The Wild Bunch, 1969.

Wild Bunch, The (1969) -- (Movie Clip) Even The Worst Of Us Riding into the home village of Angel (Jaime Sanchez), the bunch (William Holden as Pike leads Ernest Borgnine, Ben Johnson and Warren Oates) gets a grim update from Chano Urueta, a leading Mexican director and producer since the 1930’s, as crusty Don Jose, in Sam Peckinpah’s The Wild Bunch, 1969.

Wild Bunch, The (1969) -- (Movie Clip) He Was After The Girl We’ve just met the grossly corrupt federal general Mapache (Emilio Fernandez) who’s taken over the Mexican home village of Angel (Jaime Sanchez) where Pike, Dutch, Sykes and the gang (William Holden, Ernest Borgnine, Edmond O’Brien, Ben Johnson, Warren Oates) are hiding when Teresa (Sonia Amelio), his former fianceè appears, sparking more trouble, with Fernando Wagner as the German agent, in Sam Peckinpah’s The Wild Bunch, 1969.

Wild Bunch, The (1969) -- (Movie Clip) Plain And Fancy They After the bank job, still in military disguise, the Gorch's (Warren Oates, Ben Johnson) tangle with Pike (William Holden) and Angel (Jaime Sanchez), and bad news about the loot sends Sykes (Edmond O'Brien) into a rant, in Sam Peckinpah's The Wild Bunch, 1969.

Ballad Of Cable Hogue, The (1970) -- (Movie Clip) I'll Live To Spit On Your Graves! The opening to director Sam Peckinpah’s uniquely light-hearted but not un-violent Western, Jason Robards Jr. as the title character, L.Q. Jones and Strother Martin as his wicked partners Taggart and Bowen, in The Ballad Of Cable Hogue, 1970, co-starring Stella Stevens and David Warner.

Ballad Of Cable Hogue, The (1970) -- (Movie Clip) You Have Builded An Oasis Jason Robards Jr. as the penniless title character, having shot the non-paying first customer at his watering hole along the stagecoach route, prepares for more and receives David Warner as itinerant preacher Joshua Sloane, in director Sam Peckinpah’s The Ballad Of Cable Hogue, 1970.

Ballad Of Cable Hogue, The (1970) -- (Movie Clip) Two Acres At Cable Springs! Illiterate but having realized he needs to stake a claim for the watering hole he’s discovered along the statecoach route, Jason Robards Jr. (title character) does business with the land office man (Victor Izay), in Deadwood, in Sam Peckinpah’s The Ballad Of Cable Hogue, 1970.

Ballad Of Cable Hogue, The (1970) -- (Movie Clip) The Ladiest Damn Lady Director Sam Peckinpah continues his prurient use of Stella Stevens as Hildy, the town prostitute in Deadwood, who has chosen to bathe Jason Robards Jr., (title character), flush after winning an investment in his stagecoach-route water station, in The Ballad Of Cable Hogue, 1970.

Summer Wishes, Winter Dreams (1973) -- (Movie Clip) Fairy Dust Walking uptown on 5th Avenue, Rita (Joanne Woodward) reminiscing with her mother (Sylvia Sidney), who has a health scare, en route to a Bergman film, in the Bergman-esque Summer Wishes, Winter Dreams, 1973.

Summer Wishes, Winter Dreams (1973) -- (Movie Clip) Better Or Worse It's not made clear until well into this scene that Rita (Joanne Woodward) is married to her optometrist Harry (Martin Balsam), early in Summer Wishes, Winter Dreams, 1973, directed by Gilbert Cates, from Steward Stern's original screenplay.

Wild Bunch, The (1969) -- (Movie Clip) When You Side With A Man Heading for Mexico, geezer Sykes (Edmond O'Brien) leads the gang over a dune, causing Tector (Ben Johnson) to snap, and Pike (William Holden) to crack the whip, his age showing, in Sam Peckinpah's The Wild Bunch, 1969.
