I came across this site recently, it's basically an overview of Peckinpah's life in the movies and in-depth reviews of quite a few of his Westerns. When you consider that he produced some of the Classics of the genre, it's well worth a look. The writing is original, intelligent and very witty to boot.
You know what's really sad, is most people don't know who John Wayne, Ben Johnson, Charles Bronson, Roy Rogers, etc. are. (And I'm 18 yrs. old and I KNOW WHO THEY ARE). That's Just my opinion.
I totally agree with you Texas Outlaw. I am Fifteen and I know ALOT of actors that people my age would probably have no IDEA even existed. That is REALLLY sad. They are really missn' out on somthing great.
