I'm a Peckinpah Fan, so here goes.

The Wild Bunch
The Proposition
The Ballad of Cable Hogue
Silverado
Once Upon a Time in the West - the scene where Jack Elam traps the fly
in the barrel of his pistol is one of my all time favorites.
The Good, The Bad, The Ugly - far and away the best of that trilogy.
Liberty Valance
Monte Walsh - nobody ever mentions this one.
Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid - not Peckinpah's best effort, but far, far
better than the average horse opera.

I have never liked John Wayne or Clint Eastwood, except in a couple of
instances. Their acting is wooden, and the range of emotions they can
portray runs the gamut from A to A-. OTOH, Lee Marvin, Jason Robards,
and Peckinpah's regulars (Ben Johson, LQ Jones, Slim Pickens, Chill Wills,
Strother Martin (especially!)) always turn in top notch performances.
Jack Elam is another western actor I particularly like.
