Much thanks for the recommendation (even though it wasn't the right one I picked up :) ). I saw, and really dug, THE GETAWAY, and PAT GARRET AND BILLY THE KID are definitely on my want list, considering who's in them. Hey Chuk!

Glad to hear it gave you some insight. I can understand why Peckinpah is not everyone's cup of tea these days. A lot of what he did seems rather mild by today's standards but put into to historical perspective he really was a ground-breaking director. Just his editing style alone was cutting edge ( pun-intended) . Next I would recommend RIDE THE HIGH COUNTRY and PAT GARRET AND BILLY THE KID.

Pretty damn enjoyable. I caught The Getaway recently, mainly due to the reading of this book. Pretty damn enjoyable.
