Good to know
Each film stands alone, so no chronological order exists. Ride the High Country, The Wild Bunch, Straw Dogs, The Getaway and Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia make the clearest core. The run closed with The Osterman Weekend in 1983, a year before Peckinpah's death in 1984. Start with the westerns for the style at full stretch.
