The Wild Bunch

This film has quite a bit of narrative identity crisis. I couldn't quote tell if I was supposed to feel empathy for the "Wild Bunch" for having their own 'moral code' or hate William Holden's character for basically selling out his partner. I also wasn't quite sure why I was supposed to feel bad for Robert Ryan's character for getting caught and sent to jail...for crimes he actually had committed. Lots of shoot outs with slightly dubious physics and extended staged scenes of people laughing together. Was surprised to realize that Pike was played by William Holden--almost didn't recognize him. Definitely a lot worse than his other two entries on the list, The Network and Bridge on the River Kwai.
