I got to revisit Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia tonight.

1. It does not in any way, shape or form deserve it's terrible reputation.

2. Peckinpah makes a movie completely in Mexico with no interference.

3. Warren Oates essentially plays Peckinpah.

4. Candidate for possible best title ever.

5. Insanely dark, gritty and still completely artistic.

This is truly a great film. Powerful, and everything crap like Convoy and the forgettable The Getaway are not. The film pivots on one central single shot. Then it becomes The Treasure of the Sierra Madre from Hell.

4 Mexican balls out of 4 heads in a bag of ice covered in flies.
