Auskar Wrote:The Outlaw Josey Wales is great.

Josey Wales: When I get to likin' someone, they ain't around long.
Lone Watie: I notice when you get to DISlikin' someone they ain't around for long neither.

Lone Watie: I didn't surrender, but they took my horse and made him surrender. They have him pulling a wagon up in Kansas I bet.


Fletcher: Don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining.

Bounty hunter: You're wanted, Wales.
Josey Wales: Reckon I'm right popular. You a bounty hunter?
Bounty hunter: A man's got to do something for a living these days.
Josey Wales: Dyin' ain't much of a living, boy.

Captain Terrill: (speaking of Josey Wales) Not a hard man to track. Leaves dead men wherever he goes.

Lone Watie: ...here in the nation they call us the "civilized tribe". They call us "civilized" because we're easy to sneak up on. White men have been sneaking up on us for years.

Ken Valentine Wrote:I haven't seen the movies you mentioned, but the ones I have seen -- and liked -- were; Dances with Wolves, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, For Love of the Game, and of course, Open Range. Field of Dreams wasn't bad either.

Auskar Wrote:Silverado, No Way Out, and you cannot forget Kevin Costner's most demanding role in The Big Chill.

Ken Valentine Wrote:I haven't seen those. Maybe I should. Ya think?

Auskar Wrote:Well, you don't have to see The Big Chill because all of Costner's scenes that showed his face were cut. All that's left is his role as the corpse. That was a joke.

Silverado, though, is a movie that is halfway between the "old style" western movie with clear cut bad guys and good guys and modern westerns, with Kevin Costner playing an extremely delightful supporting role. The more I think about it, the more everyone should see this movie. Scott Glenn, Kevin Kline, Kevin Costner, Danny Glover, John Cleese, Rosanna Arquette, Brian Dennehy, Jeff Fahey, Jeff Goldblum, Linda Hunt. That's a lot of good actors for one western.

No Way Out was a good movie, I thought. Now, a lot of the plot devices and such may have been copied and used by others since that movie, but I do recommend it. I think it was the movie that graduated him to bonafide leading man, though for some reason I remember it being released before The Untouchables, and evidently I'm wrong about that.

And my favorite lines:

Hobart: Baxter! Hawley! Where the hell've you been? You're late ....
Emmett: I'm afraid it is a bad start, friend, 'cause my name ain't Baxter, he ain't Hawley.
Hobart: You're not Baxter?
Emmett: Name's Emmett.
Hobart: You're not Baxter either?
Paden: No, I'm not *Hawley*.

Auskar Wrote:Unforgiven is a great movie, but it is not an easy movie to watch multiple times. In a way, it takes itself too seriously, I think.
