I always found it curious that Hill didn’t want to direct a horror film. He felt like he didn’t have the feel for it yet when you watch something like Southern Comfort, The Warrriors, you get the sense he would have done a great job.Before he made those films, Hill directed Hard Times which may or may not be influential - but it is one of my favorite Charles Bronson features. It features some memorable dialog (particularly from Strother Martin's Poe), well choreographed fights, and cinematography that captures the locations of the film to good effect.
Big fan of Southern Comfort also. I've owned just about incarnation of that film on home video media, including a pretty poor 4:3 Laser Disc. (The Blu-Ray release of this film was a welcome addition to my library.)
