I’m so excited you guys watched this finally! This is another of my very favourite movies. Coy saying ‘what an unpleasant way to open a picture’ is bang on. The entire movie is not ‘pleasant’ by any description, but the story, the acting, everything - it’s fantastic. Clint Eastwood and Gene Hackman are just brilliant in it. Morgan Freeman - for the small amount he’s in it - is wonderful as always. I also love Saul Rubinek in this role. You probably already know by now (I’m still watching the reaction) but the actress who played Delilah looks familiar because she also played Sarah’s mother, Darla in The Crow. A testament to hair and make up departments changing her look in just a year or two. And Frances Fisher of course was Rose’s mother in Titanic and a bunch of other things.

Also some great western films to checkout: Open Range, Magnificent Seven (1960), Silverado (actually directed and written by Lawrence Kasden, co-writer of Empire Strikes Back and Raiders of the Lost Ark), Quigley Down Under, The Alamo (1960; a movie John Wayne almost went bankrupt producing it himself and directing; also stars as Davy Crockett)

Also the best Western project in the last 24 years has probably been the western miniseries 1883. Highly recommend this series. It’s a prequel miniseries to Yellowstone, but you don’t have to watch Yellowstone to understand this show. It is good on its own merit. There is no constant nostalgia to Yellowstone in it. The only thing that connects it to Yellowstone is the last name of a family is Dutton and that is it. Also, Sam Elliott is amazing in this and won Outstanding Performance of a Lead Actor in a TV Movie or Limited Series at the Screen Actor’s Guild Awards for his role in this series. Honestly, what this series feels like they adapted the educational game, Oregon Trail, to a TV-MA reality.

Now it's time for the 2013 Japanese remake starring Ken Watanabe.

Enjoyed your reaction Coy and John. Too bad it didn't perform as well on YouTube, but I would enjoy watching other westerns with you guys. Another genre option would be 1930-50s crime pieces such as Lawless, Live by Night, Gangster Squad, etc.
