The Wild Bunch (1969) rates 9 out of 10 on the rewatch scale. Peckinpah cut the violence at multiple film speeds and assembled it at a rate nobody had attempted, and the result changed how every action film since has…
Actor: Edmond OBrien
Edmond O’Brien won Best Supporting Actor for The Barefoot Contessa, playing a press agent who perspires continuously, which became something of a signature.

The Killers, White Heat and The Wild Bunch fill out a long career, and he was also nominated for Seven Days in May.
