open range ?? good movie
Prolly means Dances with Wolves. Yes its a great movie, but I dont know if it counts as a western. It is really one of the best movies ever made.[/quote:252f1]

No fucking shit.

....I find myself saying that to you in particular, alot. Maybe it's your insane ability to point out the absolutely crystal clear and fucking obvious. Most of the time after someone has already pointed it out. Much like in this case.

Ontopic:

If you like old adventure/war films from the 60s (Devil's Brigade, The Great Escape, Guns Of Navarone, etc) Then you MUST check out 'Von Ryan's Express,' it's in the same vein, stars Frank Sinatra and has been a favourite of mine since I first saw it as a child.

Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0165798/

In New York, an African-American hit man follows Hagakure: The Way of the Samurai. He lives alone, in simplicity, with pigeons, calling himself Ghost Dog. His master, who saved his life eight years' ago, is part of the local mob. When the boss's daughter witnesses one of Ghost Dog's hits, he is expendable. The first victims are his birds, and in response, Ghost Dog goes right at his attackers but does not want to harm his master or the young woman. On occasion, he talks with his best friend, a French-speaking Haitian who sells ice cream in the park, and with a child, with whom he discusses books. Can he stay true to his code? And if he does, what is his fate?

--

It may sound lame, but I think it's actually very good. biggrin:

Good movie, not a lot of money put into it, but it's still pretty good.

Hearts in Atlantis

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0252501/

This is a gentle, innocent film about the reflections of an aging man (David Morse), who returns to his home town after the death of his best friend. Memories of life at age 11 floods back as it was a magical time that changed his life. Three 11 year old children (Anton Yelchin as Bobby, Mika Boorem as Carol, and Will Rothaar as Sully) share their lives. Carol & Bobby have a special affection for one another including sharing a kiss "by which all others will be measured". Bobby lives with his mother (Hope Davis), a bitter, vain woman who looks for pleasures for herself without sharing much with her son. Into their lives comes a mysterious new boarder (Anthony Hopkins), who befriends the boy but generates distrust from the mother. As time passes, the man and boy share confidences and special powers are revealed. The man warns the boy to be on the lookout for the "lowmen", who were seeking him. The two share a summer's adventures and come to love one another before the inevitable happens. A confrontation with a school bully (Timothy Reifsnyder) also changes everyone.

A great movie, it's just good.
