Arguably the strongest Hollywood movie of the 1960s -- a western that galvanizes the cliches of its dying genre with a shocking jolt of delirious carnage.

fresh:
In an era when body-count films mirror the mounting body count offscreen, The Wild Bunch dissects death rather than glorifying it.

fresh:
It is certainly one of the best westerns ever made, and the best film of any kind to come out in 1969.
