knocking on heavens door

The movie Pat Garret and Billy The Kid isn't among my favorite of Sam Peckinpah's movies but it did have some incredible moments. The most moving moment is when the Slim Picken's character walks away amid a gunfight to die...as Bob Dylan's song Knock Knocking on Heaven's Door is played. The footage of Slim quietly standing there by the creek - knowing that his death is near.  This is a powerful scene.

If you haven't seen the movie, you might appreciate it. James Coburn, Kris Kristofferson and Bob Dylan also star in it. The blood letting cowboy movie of Peckinpah's to remember is of course The Wild Bunch. I bought the DVD about a year ago hoping to watching on a guy's night...but that hasn't happened yet. Who's up for a blood letting?
