Sam Peckinpah

Sam Peckinpah’s feature debut. Brian Keith plays a former Union soldier escorting dance-hall singer Maureen O’Hara through Apache country. Peckinpah had neither script nor edit control, rendering this a mediocre work-for-hire effort. Not a good film, but passable thanks to Keith and the strong supporting cast.

An aging former lawman (Randolph Scott) agrees to help his old partner (Joel McCrea) transport gold from a mining town with the intention of stealing it for himself.

At the end of the Civil War, a driven cavalry officer (Charlton Heston) enlists the support of a Confederate prisoner (Richard Harris) for an unauthorized raid into Mexico in pursuit of a band of Apaches.

In 1930’s Louisiana, an up and coming poker player (Steve McQueen) seeks a game with the reining king of stud poker (Edward G. Robinson).

Pursued by one of their own (Robert Ryan), an aging band of outlaws (William Holden, Ernest Borgnine, Edmond O’Brien, Warren Oates, Jaime Sánchez, and Ben Johnson) heads to Mexico seeking one last big score.

Sam Peckinpah’s Straw Dogs is an ugly, brutal, nihilistic, gut-punch of a horror film.

The Getaway is a slick bit of neo-noir exploitation.

The Killer Elite was, hopefully, little more than a paycheck for director Sam Peckinpah, as the film is a frustrating, overlong, and ultimately silly endeavor.

Once upon a time, an intergalactic criminal called Sateen fled to Earth. On Earth, Sateen mutated and developed psychic powers, which it used to wreak havoc. Another alien defeated Sateen with an army of birds, but not before Sateen impregnated a slew of Earth women. Those women continued Sateen’s legacy through their children.

A CIA agent (John Hurt) convinces the host (Rutger Hauer) of a popular talk show that three of his close friends (Craig T. Nelson, Dennis Hopper, and Chris Sarandon) are working for the KGB.
