the suisun bay reserve fleet scenes are (a) kind of amazing, as an idea for a setting*, and (b) a whole bunch of clumsily shot, culturally goofy ninja stupidness
*actually the only thing i remember from the last time i saw this, maybe 35 years ago?

when he was good, he was SOOOO good. Ride the High Country def a career highlight, and one that I hadn't seen until last year

At worst it's rambling, but (Cable Hogue is) still so damn amiable -- it's like Peckinpah doing Altman.
and he's not very good at it. Great ending tho.

i would think Alfredo Garcia would win this on a repoll but the turnout on the original has me wondering where the current popular reassessment of his works has leveled out at.

Can't remember if I voted but for me it's The Wild Bunch followed by Ride the High Country. I kind of like Straw Dogs but just the idea of it sort of creeps me out.

to this day my main memory of Pat Garrett is a scene where Dylan's Alias is naming canned goods in the background.

Pat Garrett was my favorite back in the day but now I don't remember much about it... it's been at least 25 years since I saw most of these. Nowadays I'd be most interested in revisiting High Country and Major Dundee.
