Might as well dig up these 2 relics from a few weeks back while I'm at it! Far as I remember, they weren't spotted yet.

Both movies are from the 70's.
Both Directors were American, critically acclaimed but very much considered mavericks.

Zeek 12, #5. Given the "maverick" clue and the nature of the image, it's probably a Peckinpah. It's obviously contemporary, which omits any westerns, and it's not The Getaway, so I'll say Bring Me The Head of Alfredo Garcia.

Ha ha! Fluky deduction. I've no idea what the other one is, though I've a dread feeling I probably should.

It's a bit of an obscure movie. Probably not very well known......but the Director is:)

Maverick director + 1970s + bird-related imagery = only one film.
