great one, yes.  in terms of an all-out epic western tho, lonesome dove takes the cow pie.

But isn't Lonesome Dove "just" a tv-series?

Maybe mine too. The cast is incredible, for starters. Fonda is brilliant, utterly unvarnished evil. Bronson is a bit of a weak spot, compared with the rest. And Claudia? Holy schmoley!

The bit with Jack Elam and the fly is cinematic genius.

My favorite "Western".

He died to me after that last Indiana Jones travesty. It was funny how the Southpark boys made a whole episode about how bad that piece of crap was. Evidently they were thinking the same thing as they watched it no doubt jaws dropped in disbelief as mine was.

you wish

the new sherlock holmes flick.  unless you're a 16-25 year-old boy.

I'd put Schindler's List on my top 10 list too. Munich was pretty solid. War of the Worlds was a fine action/adventure show, Catch Me If You Can was better than average, Amistad was worthwhile. I still want my money back for The Color Purple, but the man directed Jaws for goodness' sake!

I'll forgive a lot with a resume like that.

What was the last good movie Speilberg made?

Close Encounters?

I always felt he pulled his punches.

Interesting.  I think the whole point of the movie is to demonstrate out how embarrassingly stupid war — and everyone in it — is.  The Brits are portrayed as air-headed dolts.  I wonder if it's that way in the book.
...

Haven't seen the film, or the play, nor read the book, but we, as in Nancy, as Warhorse is a children's book, are going to try and start with the book and try and see the play. But I think the book might be a bit old for N as she's only 8, so we'll have to put everything on hold for a couple of years, which is difficult as the full Hollywood hype is being unleashed around its opening.
 
But Micheal Morpurgo is a great author, and lives up in North Devon - apparently the British bits of the film were filmed around where he lives, and where the true stories the book was based on happened, which is nice for us.
