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.

or at least one of my favorites. His ability to maintain a subtly consistent mood throughout, the perfect casting (Beatty's typical handsome, charming, and likable dolt on-screen persona was perfect for the part), the location verite (the town seemed as raw as I'm sure a real town would have been, and the final gunfight in the (genuine!) snowstorm is as authentic as it gets). Leonard Cohen-and of course, Vilmos Zsigmond...
One of my all time favorite movies-too bad no one wrote a book about it before Altman's death.
