Peckinpah only directed the second unit on Jinxed! - he wasn't an uncredited co-director, so it doesn't count.

The Deadly Companions 2/5
Ride the High Country 4.5/5
Major Dundee 3.5/5
The Wild Bunch 5/5
The Ballad of Cable Hogue 4/5
Straw Dogs 4.5/5
Junior Bonner 4/5
The Getaway 3.5/5
Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid 4.5/5
Bring me the Head of Alfredo Garcia 4/5
The Killer Elite 2.5/5
Cross of Iron 4/5
Convoy 2/5
The Osterman Weekend 2/5

Anyone who doesn't rate The Wild Bunch is clinically dead, as far as I'm concerned....

Can't stand the creepy ass-backwards morality of "The Wild Bunch" -- William Holden the ruthless killer character who betrayed Robert Ryan and continually screws up the gang's capers is held up as the hero worthy of their loyalty. The psychopathically sadistic railroad boss played by Albert Dekker is portrayed as another "winner".

My ratings: Afredo Garcia (9/10), Ride the High Country (7/10), Major Dundee (7/10), The Getaway (6/10), Junior Bonner (6/10), Ballad of Cable Hogue (6/10), Cross of Iron (5/10), The Wild Bunch (5/10), Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid (5/10), Straw Dogs (5/10)

Interesting request. I alternate between Bunch and Country as my favourites (depends if it's Saturday night or Sunday morning). I wish I loved kid more. Dundee is higher than it should be, but I love it.
