But you make an interesting comparison. Aldrich made some violent films-see "Ulzana's Raid" sometime-and he was a much more successful director than Peckinpah. I think SP's vision of the west was visually more dynamic (maybe bombastic) than that of Aldrich. But they were both really excellent, entertaining filmmakers. I can't think of whose work I like more. Both made big bombs, and both died younger than they should have. The 60's and early 70's were a kind of golden age for westerns (the last, I think), so many good ones.
