That silent acknowledgement of doom between Slim Pickens and Katy Jurado has to be one of the most quietly heartbreaking scenes in the history of modern American cinema.
I was raised by my grandparents. I saw my grandfather cry 3 times in my life, when my father died, when my grandmother died, and every time he watched this scene from the movie. I love you PawPaw, you were the best man I ever knew.
I'm 26 years old, and grew up watching these old westerns with my grandad. Always found this scene really beautiful. Well my grandad passed away today, and I guess I've just come to remind myself of him, wherever he is. See you again sometime Roger, thank you for everything ♥️
Great director, great actors, great song. This is how great scenes are achieved. Slim Pickens and Katy Jurado don't need to utter a word to say...so much.
Not only in a western movie. I've seen this movie first time when I was like 15 or so. That's a long, long time ago. And still this scene moves me. Similar the the scene when Conan takes the "Atlantean Sword" and quietly greets the long forgotten king whose corpse crumbled before him when he took the blade.
One of the most beautiful scenes in film ever made. I cry every time I visit it. Just a perfect sequence beginning with him walking away. Reminds me a bit of John Wayne posing at the end of The Searchers before turning and walking away with the door closing on him. And the casting Katy Jurado as his woman was inspired knowing of her parts in other westerns.
This is it, one of the greatest scenes in western cinema. I’ve never seen a more realistic version of dying in my many years of being a fan of motion pictures. Katy Jurado And Slim Pickens deserved an Oscar.
"Us old boys oughtn't be doing this to each other. There aren't many of us left." So many great lines in this film. Guys like Chill Wills and Jack Elam OWN their scenes. This scene is flawless. I was gutted the first time I saw it and to this day it remains powerful. I feel Sam Peckinpah new 'men' well and could have his characters say and feel things guys don't always talk about even among themselves.
The look on her face in those few seconds just says so many things. That cheeky little "hey you" smile, I'm going to miss you, thank you for being in my life, I wish I could help you, you're so brave, it will be okay, please don't go.....god, I'm crying.
Slim was also in that other Western the same year, Blazing Saddles. Basically playing the same character in one of the funniest movies ever, and being able to pull off this this scene which is as serious and heartfelt as it gets.
damn. this scene is one the most perfect (with its own sam's imperfections) that one is able to see in film history. "just" the detail of the woman letting her man die alone with his honor and the (un)fullfilment as a man, while, at the same time the pain on her eyes and the hopelessness. all this on a pure almost religious setting. damn. damn damn.
i think it lacks all of the tragedy and irony of the death scene before the immortal line "god is a sadist and he does not even know it" in cross of iron..
@StarFire Alternity - Brother In Christ got questions is ok but it has some false Calvinistic teachings and requires a changed life to earn salvation not simple faith in the gospel
*The most haunting song Dylan ever wrote,* ... and a truly awesome film scene to go right with it. it's timeless. almost flawless. maybe completely flawless.
I saw this movie for the first time today. I saw Bob Dylan did the scoring and was instantly curious if this song was in it. Not only is it, but I learned he wrote this song specifically for the film. This scene definitely got my attention, and there's a reason why Kris Kristofferson said in a 2011 interview that this is the strongest use of music he'd ever seen in a film.
Except the video doesn't play the song. People leave comments that Bob Dylan's OWN SONG sucks and Guns and Roses, they fucking think this is a guns and roses song. No. Imagine this movie soundtrack by Guns and Roses ain't gonna happen. Bob Dylan wrote it and it's his freaking song.
2:30 A man saying goodbye to an old friend who just killed ... a woman saying goodbye to the man she loves ... and all that without saying a word while it sound "Knockin 'on Heaven's door" for the very first time. An unforgettable masterpiece of cinema.
It's ironic that the words of this song are not figurative. Non-Dylan fans hear the lyrics as a metaphor. But the parts about the badge and guns really are talking about the badge and guns. But somehow this song transcends the literal meaning, and has a much deeper, profound significance for all of the people who listen, and those who cover the song.
Dylan himself says in his own Chronicles, he wrote the song specifically for this scene with Slim Pickens. So it was written in a literal sense, but of course Dylan's writing always takes you anywhere and applies to everyone.
The look on Coburn’s face after killing Black and realizing Sheriff Baker was dying is awesome......he HATED this shit. Coburn’s best role by far......
Best scene in the picture from great character actor Slim Pickens beautifully supported by Katy Jurado, best song from a great sound track. Yes, I think I'd agree, pretty much flawless.
Agreed. I think it's one of the most haunting scenes in the history of movie westerns, with two great character actors working together to convey the nobility, pathos and sadness of the moment. The tears and horror we see in Katy Jurado's eyes, knowing that she's unable to help her mortally wounded man, never fail to get to me. Simply heartbreaking.
but hugely better scene and best in any Peckinpah film is the one leading up to the immortal words "god is a sadist and he doesn't even know it" in cross of iron..
In a lot of American Civil War photos you see soldiers with their shirts pulled open at the stomach; they knew that if they had been shot below the ribs that the wound would certainly be fatal. In this scene, he knows he is about to die, and so does she, and that is why it is so powerful (to me).
And this is back in the times when commercial movies could still be works of art, carefully, sensibly done, with a twist of originality and madness. Not that long ago.
Though the moment between the Sheriff and his wife definitely steal the show when it comes to this scene, I also really like the final exchange between Pat Garret and Black Harris. The whole time he is trying to talk to him while being shot at, reminiscing about the good old days. It's like he is still thinking about back when they were friends though he sees that things have gotten to the point of no return. When he finally shoots him and he drops to the ground he walks up slowly and stares at him with a look of sadness and pity, as if to say 'why did it have to come to this?'. To me, it also seems like he is pitying him because he is thinking about the life of outlaws and what it does to people. When Black Harris says 'there ain't much of us left' its him referring to the type of man that rode out to the West and was built stronger and more resilient than the new generations of people settling there. 'Cowboys', so to speak. I think Pat realizes that and is looking at him dying thinking that soon he might just be the last left of his own kind.
My Gosh. I havent seen this film in decades. My heart swells @ the love of comments from you all @ this scene. Those were the very feelings I had & felt about it. Im very happy I wasnt alone in viewing what I believed was masterful film poetry.
Just look at this absolutely magical scenery. You won't see this in Avengers and popcorn movies made with green screen. Landscape, sunset as a metaphore of ending life. Darkness, hopelessness in contrast with the beauty. It' absolutely stunning, spiritual and emotionally powerful. They should only let the scene last for longer. This is the only flaw this scene has.
I heard this song after we left the hospital where my mom died. This song never meant anything to me before. I was driving to Las Vegas. The sunset and this song playin on the radio made me cry for hours.The sunset meant that my mom wasn’t going to see another day. I’ll think of my momma when I hear this song
That look Coburn gives at 2:34 is what makes this. Great acting without having to say a word, his face says it all. Wonderful acting all around though.
I saw this movie when it came out. I was 18 and appreciated it then, but over the years scenes this this one and Slim's final moments have grown in their heartbreaking power. The perfect blend of cinema and music.
@@ClassicRockLivesOn Check him out in Duck You Sucker!! James Coburn in a Sergio Leone movie with Ennio Morricone music... fucking classic. But also reminded me of this movie a bit, in its awkardness.
Those who think that Sam Peckinpah was nothing but a violence loving nihilist have never seen this; there is nothing like it any other western. A perfect blend of setting, music, dialogue, and great actors who were never better; Katy Jurado was awesome (it's a shame she is all but forgotten now) and Slim Pickens is mostly remembered as a buffoon, which he most certainly was not.
She not forgotten , WE remember Her , so many good supporting actors of Westerns in this film. This scene was very tragic , Slims character wanted to build His boat an live and die on the water . That's why He went to that river or lake to die, as Katy's characters morns an is also happy that He is happy to die there in a way.
Dan Reese I will always remember Kay Jurado as Helen Ramirez in HIGH NOON, she should have gotten the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her terrific performance as the only woman in town other than Grace Kelly who isn't just as much a coward as their husbands.
I never saw this movie, only 1 month ago I saw this video for the first time with the original version of "knocking on heaven's door " by Bob dylan . The acting in this one is incredible, to see the old sheriff dying while his wife looking at him with such admiration and sorrow, is really sad . And of course to hear one of the greatest songs of all time during this moment - really a great combination of music and acting . I saw this video 100 hundred times since the first time - and it still gives me goosebumps and excitement. Such a great feeling .
@@ontherocks23 The first time I heard the G&R version, I didn't like it at all - thought it was disrespectful. But, over the years, it has really grown on me. Matter of fact, I think the second guitar riff in it is the greatest in any song on planet Earth!
The scene between Katy Jurado and Slim Pickens accompanied by Knockin' On Heaven's Door is one of my favorite moments in film. The moment between them is some of the finest acting on film. I often just watch a clip of it like a short film of its own.
I came across this movie last night knowing nothing about it. Wasn't paying very close attention at first, but was pretty quickly fully pulled in. When this scene ended, I just said "Wow". I wanted to hit rewind, but it was broadcast TV. I searched for it here, not knowing if I'd find it or if anyone else had been as blown away. I should have known that kind of brilliance would be recognized. Wow!
This scene. Yes, it's heartbreaking to see the Sherrif and his wife look at each other with a mournful finality, but I think the look on Garrett's face after he kills Black says so much more.
I remember when my dad showed me this movie for the first time when I was a kid. Love this version of heavens doors and my first song I learned on the guitar.
If there is a more perfect scene ever shot, I haven't seen it. Makes you wonder if a thing like this is a happy accident, or if they knew they were putting together something so very special. Whatever the case, it is a masterpiece.
That is one of the most powerful scenes I've ever watched in a western Sam got the concept of how tragic it really was these men lived together worked together an often died at one another's hands there was nothing noble in it
Very few actors reach perfection, but, in that scene by the river, Slim Pickens and Katy Jurado do. No scene in movie history has ever bettered it, very few have equalled it.
Debe ser una de las escenas mas emotivas del cine, Katy Jurado genial, Slim Pickens brillante y que decir de la musica y letra de Bob Dylan. Esta escena por si sola vale toda la película.
one of the greatest westerns ever made, along with 'the wild bunch.' i trot 'em out every 3 to 5 years or so. dylan's album is consistently 'in the mix,' especially all 3 versions of 'billy'
I enjoyed The Wild Bunch way more mostly because of how Billy the Kid is shown throughout most of the movie (a sort of Wild West Robinhood, the perfect romantic hero, even though it shows well how legendary he seems to be to us and to have been back then), but it remains a good movie and this scene plays a lot into that, it is absolutely magnificent.
This is probably my favourite western of all time along with the wild bunch, once upon a time in the west, and the good the bad and the ugly. Awesome film👌
I was explaining this entire scene to someone who has never seen the movie, she was amazed. It started out with the Bob Dylan song, I was playing it on my guitar and singing it.
A very beautifully crafted and well done scene in Western movie history they called Sam Peckinpah bloody Sam which is a fitting nickname but he could also make beautiful scenes
She knows he just wants to die admiring the sunset, so she refrain from approaching him so as not to disturb his moment, respecting his last wish .. They gave each other a suble nod as a form of bidding goodbye .. no words necessary .. There's so much dignity in this great great great movie scene... the sunset just makes it more achingly tragic and beautiful ...
The reason why this scene hits so hard is the lead up to it, where he has to be convinced to come along and then gets to being enthusiastic about it and gets shit within two seconds of arriving. Really hammers down the pointlessness and brutality of Garrett's crusade
I saw this movie on TV as a kid in the late seventies on a Sunday afternoon. This scene just busted me and my mom came to see me balling. Over forty years later I see this scene in a tweet. I never knew it was Peckinpah, Dylan and Slim Pickens. I cried when I saw the tweet. Now I come here to watch it when I need a moment of perfection.

That silent acknowledgement of doom between Slim Pickens and Katy Jurado has to be one of the most quietly heartbreaking scenes in the history of modern American cinema.

He has a guilty face. That's what sells it for me

No one ever really goes.... he's in your heart like the moment they say.... we ought not be Killin each other.... we r road into this town together
Sorry for your loss
Great director, great actors, great song. This is how great scenes are achieved. Slim Pickens and Katy Jurado don't need to utter a word to say...so much.
This scene was iconic and should have won the Oscar.
The dying of the old sheriff is one of the most impressive and heart touching scenes, I've ever seen in a western movie.
Not only in a western movie. I've seen this movie first time when I was like 15 or so. That's a long, long time ago. And still this scene moves me.
Similar the the scene when Conan takes the "Atlantean Sword" and quietly greets the long forgotten king whose corpse crumbled before him when he took the blade.
Made me cry.
Agreed i watched this in the 90s as a kid my brother is 10 years older he was watching it . Im now 28
Slim Pickens is one of the all time great actors.
Another impressive scene that I remembered was Billy's duel with Jack Elam.
Lovely her look of love,
of pain, of resignation.
One of the most beautiful scenes in film ever made. I cry every time I visit it. Just a perfect sequence beginning with him walking away. Reminds me a bit of John Wayne posing at the end of The Searchers before turning and walking away with the door closing on him.

The directorial skill of putting this together. Sight and sound. Pure genius.
This is it, one of the greatest scenes in western cinema. I’ve never seen a more realistic version of dying in my many years of being a fan of motion pictures. Katy Jurado And Slim Pickens deserved an Oscar.
An incredibly haunting scene, thanks to the masterful acting of Slim and Katy, done without a single word between them.
"Us old boys oughtn't be doing this to each other. There aren't many of us left." So many great lines in this film. Guys like Chill Wills and Jack Elam OWN their scenes.
This scene is flawless. I was gutted the first time I saw it and to this day it remains powerful.
I feel Sam Peckinpah new 'men' well and could have his characters say and feel things guys don't always talk about even among themselves.
I saw this movie more than thirty years ago. I still remembered this scene quite clearly. It's so emotionally powerful, it defies words.
The look on her face in those few seconds just says so many things. That cheeky little "hey you" smile, I'm going to miss you, thank you for being in my life, I wish I could help you, you're so brave, it will be okay, please don't go.....god, I'm crying.
Mariel Pare
Perfect interpretation....she conveys dozens of emotions and feelings and messages in just a few moments.....
With no words she conveys the tragedy and hopelessness of the moment. Those few moments just rip your heart to shreds.
Made me cry too.
well-described, ty
Well said, lady..well said...
Don't ever let anyone tell you Slim Pickens couldn't act. That was as good as it gets without saying one word.
He’s good but I think the director gets most of the credit for this one, it’s just to great to be all acting.
@@ronniebishop2496 Directors paint a picture with cinema, Peckinpah did this in this scene.

Yep 👍
Bewildered, but knows it's all over. Pickens really was a great actor.
One of the great fusions of image and music. Moving, and beautiful.
The pain and compassion on Pat Garretts face, as though he sees his own future in this moment....
After all these years, this song still gives me goose bumps when I watch this scene. HooRah Slim Pickens
When I die, I want someone looking at me like she does. It's all I ask for life.
Fer Perro, it’ll be your mother in law.
Well said.
To have a woman like that look at you that way would mean your life hadn’t been a total failure:....
Fer Perro? Hell of a name.
Amen, brother.

Best dying scene in all of western cinema..........and it's Slim......I really hope somebody told him.
i think it lacks all of the tragedy and irony of the death scene before the immortal line "god is a sadist and he does not even know it" in cross of iron..

*The most haunting song Dylan ever wrote,* ... and a truly awesome film scene to go right with it. it's timeless. almost flawless. maybe completely flawless.
+Len Hummel its crazy how this song can still cut through me like a knife through butter
Agreed. But why does this version sound so different from the other ones on RUclips? Is this not the definitive one?
Love many Dylan songs, but this is one of my favorite, partially because of this scene. Well done Katy and Slim.
@@k4nc3r The song obviously was re-recorded for commercial release and radio play. It's not uncommon.

To me, too
Bob Dylan composed it for this film.
Yes. This one has so much soul in it. The copies will never live up to that essence. The original is the only one that carried any real weight to it.
100%
2:30 A man saying goodbye to an old friend who just killed ... a woman saying goodbye to the man she loves ... and all that without saying a word while it sound "Knockin 'on Heaven's door" for the very first time. An unforgettable masterpiece of cinema.

The miscasting ruined the film.
Actually editing hurt it according to Peck.
gets better with age
@@markharrison2544 Kristofferson and Dylan are heavy talents...but not for this film (although, music-wise, Dylan nails it with this song).
It's ironic that the words of this song are not figurative. Non-Dylan fans hear the lyrics as a metaphor. But the parts about the badge and guns really are talking about the badge and guns. But somehow this song transcends the literal meaning, and has a much deeper, profound significance for all of the people who listen, and those who cover the song.
peerman2006 Dylan _fans_ also hear the lyrics as metaphorical, "feel I'm knocking on heaven's door" is hardly literal.
"too dark to see" is most literal of all - cos that is what dylan heard the camera crew tell Peckinpah when they were shooting this scene..
It's really both literal and metaphorical
Dylan himself says in his own Chronicles, he wrote the song specifically for this scene with Slim Pickens. So it was written in a literal sense, but of course Dylan's writing always takes you anywhere and applies to everyone.
The look on Coburn’s face after killing Black and realizing Sheriff Baker was dying is awesome......he HATED this shit. Coburn’s best role by far......
Coburn hated all that violence, but he knew he must end it by killing his old friend. it's was a tragedy.
@@juanjoseruiz9977
That film is so much about the Vietnam War.
I always thought when Coburn killed Black he killed his youth. Black looks like Coburn. He was almost looking at his own ghost
I was always a bit miffed they didnt let Coburn play a bigger part in original Magnificent 7

One of my all time favorite and heart breaking scenes in any movie ever. Perfect use of music, amazing filming and amazing acting.
Best scene in the picture from great character actor Slim Pickens beautifully supported by Katy Jurado, best song from a great sound track. Yes, I think I'd agree, pretty much flawless.
was shit
Agreed. I think it's one of the most haunting scenes in the history of movie westerns, with two great character actors working together to convey the nobility, pathos and sadness of the moment. The tears and horror we see in Katy Jurado's eyes, knowing that she's unable to help her mortally wounded man, never fail to get to me. Simply heartbreaking.
I’ve never seen anything else that Katy Jurado acted in, but she destroys me in this scene....always tear up
but hugely better scene and best in any Peckinpah film is the one leading up to the immortal words "god is a sadist and he doesn't even know it" in cross of iron..
She showed some amazing chops in "One Eyed Jacks" along side Marlon Brando and Karl Malden. She also acted circles around Grace Kelly in "High Noon."
In a lot of American Civil War photos you see soldiers with their shirts pulled open at the stomach; they knew that if they had been shot below the ribs that the wound would certainly be fatal. In this scene, he knows he is about to die, and so does she, and that is why it is so powerful (to me).
bobbydylanio In civil war photos their shirts are open because of bloating after death.
He knows it but the way he let us know it, is the greatness.
Masterful performance by the always solid Katy Jurado. Really fine movie, rather underrated.
And this is back in the times when commercial movies could still be works of art, carefully, sensibly done, with a twist of originality and madness. Not that long ago.

One of the greatest scene ever and one of Greatest song ever written classic
A great scene superb acting superb direction an iconic western movie with an incredible soundtrack
What an amazing scene. Every emotion.
I never saw this movie, only 1 month ago I saw this video for the first time with the original version of "knocking on heaven's door " by Bob dylan .
The acting in this one is incredible, to see the old sheriff dying while his wife looking at him with such admiration and sorrow, is really sad .
And of course to hear one of the greatest songs of all time during this moment - really a great combination of music and acting .
I saw this video 100 hundred times since the first time - and it still gives me goosebumps and excitement.
Such a great feeling .
this is breathtaking cinema
one of the best ever. touch of evil?
And breathtaking cinematography, the rugged beauty of the landscape, an evening sky that you only get in the south, and the evening light was perfect
altho i suspect that Peckinpah was hugely inspired by monty python in the making of this film..
This scene is riveting, and this original version of "knocking" as sung by Dylan can't be replicated with the same effect by anyone else I've heard.
Concordo
That's why I don't like the Guns N Roses version. It isn't the music, it's that it lacks the sad reverence of this scene.

My thought exactly.
Ever wonder what real love looks like? The look between those two says it all!
I remember when my dad showed me this movie for the first time when I was a kid. Love this version of heavens doors and my first song I learned on the guitar.
This is by far my favorite movie about Billy the Kid.
Mart St I very much agree. They don't make movies like this anymore.
The Proposition - the Guy Pearce one. Has influences from this movie, especially the end scene.
This scene has one of the best cinematography I've ever seen.
Lucien Ballard I believe was the cinematographer.
When Slim Pickens is dying, Katy Jurado is looking at him and we can hear Dylan´s song, I can feel the Death arriving.
One of my favorite scenes from one of my favorite films. Great filmmaking.
This is the film scene that sticks with you after 45 years.
If there is a more perfect scene ever shot, I haven't seen it. Makes you wonder if a thing like this is a happy accident, or if they knew they were putting together something so very special. Whatever the case, it is a masterpiece.
Given what I've learned about Sam Peckinpah's drinking, I would guess accident. But you're right; masterful scene.
This was no accident. Perfection simply visits us at unexpected times.
That is one of the most powerful scenes I've ever watched in a western Sam got the concept of how tragic it really was these men lived together worked together an often died at one another's hands there was nothing noble in it
One of the greatest films ever made. It doesn't get enough respect. Dylan's soundtrack is incredible as well.
Incredibile, é sminuirla, sono tutte meravigliosamente belle, poi cantate da Dylan.....
Very few actors reach perfection, but, in that scene by the river, Slim Pickens and Katy Jurado do.
No scene in movie history has ever bettered it, very few have equalled it.
Such a heartbreaking scene with the music and all.... Legendary!
and after all these years I understand the lyrics of this song, I never seen before this scene, beautiful by the way
Debe ser una de las escenas mas emotivas del cine, Katy Jurado genial, Slim Pickens brillante y que decir de la musica y letra de Bob Dylan. Esta escena por si sola vale toda la película.
One of the more famous song drops in American cinema. What a movie. I even like the theatrical version, although the other cuts were even better.
So much love spoken without words between those two!
one of the greatest westerns ever made, along with 'the wild bunch.' i trot 'em out every 3 to 5 years or so. dylan's album is consistently 'in the mix,' especially all 3 versions of 'billy'
I enjoyed The Wild Bunch way more mostly because of how Billy the Kid is shown throughout most of the movie (a sort of Wild West Robinhood, the perfect romantic hero, even though it shows well how legendary he seems to be to us and to have been back then), but it remains a good movie and this scene plays a lot into that, it is absolutely magnificent.
Wonderful. Sad. A masterclass.
Thank you for your art Sam Peckinpah!
This is probably my favourite western of all time along with the wild bunch, once upon a time in the west, and the good the bad and the ugly. Awesome film👌
Such a short scene beside the river, just one clip of him, yet it's as perfect and sad as anything in movie history.
Great scene with Slim Pickens and Katu Jurado at 2.00 mark and with Bob Dylan's magisterial song
I was explaining this entire scene to someone who has never seen the movie, she was amazed. It started out with the Bob Dylan song, I was playing it on my guitar and singing it.
Do you know who
Did the cover on knock knock on heaven's door cuz it doesn't sound like Bob Dylan? Thanks Greg
One of my all time favorite scenes in a movie
this is breathtaking cinema
To me,the very best version of Knocking on Heavens door...
I can't get over how much this scene affects me... pure inspiration by the fimmakers and actors and crew
What a great movie adorned with Bob's masterpiece!
A very beautifully crafted and well done scene in Western movie history they called Sam Peckinpah bloody Sam which is a fitting nickname but he could also make beautiful scenes
She knows he just wants to die admiring the sunset, so she refrain from approaching him so as not to disturb his moment, respecting his last wish ..
They gave each other a suble nod as a form of bidding goodbye .. no words necessary ..
There's so much dignity in this great great great movie scene... the sunset just makes it more achingly tragic and beautiful ...
Been watching movies for 50 years. This is top five of my favorite scenes. Gets me every time.
Masterpiece....No words...
this is what love is
J'ai vu le film en 77/78 presque enfant. Et depuis, la musique du film ne m'a jamais quittée.
The reason why this scene hits so hard is the lead up to it, where he has to be convinced to come along and then gets to being enthusiastic about it and gets shit within two seconds of arriving. Really hammers down the pointlessness and brutality of Garrett's crusade
Best scene ever. Can't help myself, every time I watch it, I cry like the first time.
Oooh ... Sam Peckinpah. How much I miss you!
Just when I thought his death in Dr. Strangelove was his most iconic death scene...
This was stunning.
Slim Pickens is one of the most underrated actors in history
This song really pulls on my heart to tears 😢
Lovers of westerns, Unite...
I saw this movie on TV as a kid in the late seventies on a Sunday afternoon. This scene just busted me and my mom came to see me balling. Over forty years later I see this scene in a tweet. I never knew it was Peckinpah, Dylan and Slim Pickens. I cried when I saw the tweet. Now I come here to watch it when I need a moment of perfection.
Greatest love scene in movie history.
I wish it would go for the full song.
I love her face. Pure love.
One of my dads favorite westerns. Never saw it. I want to. RIP dad. Love you ❤
Dam I nearly cried
Dam I nearly cried
Perfect scene, the film works well as an episodic piece and this is a great end to one of the stories.
Sam Peckinpah made some great movies,
