Better watch your step, pilgrim.
After seeing Hackman as Little Bill Daggett in "Unforgiven", I'd love to see him in the Cogburn role as well.
One of the Jessie James movies made in 60’s or 70’s was like that. Never noticed the mountains of northern Missouri before it.
“Missouri Breaks” with Brando and Nicholson is one of the strangest westerns I’ve ever seen.....
I’d like to see Dennis Hopper in this..I find him entertaining in just about everything I’ve seen him in..because I think he’s just plain nuts.
I hate to see anybody walk on the bone of the Duke...
Better watch your step, pilgrim.

Sometimes I like re-makes, sometimes I don't. I enjoyed the re-makes of Sabrina, and The Parent Trap,
Even though it was supposed to have followed the book more closely, I didn't like the re-make of Dune, which aired on TV as a mini-series. I liked the art-deco look of the 80's movie, with Jurgen Prochnow as Duke Leto Atreides.
“The John Wayne “True Grit” was made over 35 years ago and gets only limited play on TV. Most of today’s movie-going audience has never seen it, and that will allow the Coen Brothers to make the movie the way they want it.”
Guess who’s the third most popular movie star in America?
Here’s the 2009 rundown
Denzel Washington
Clint Eastwood
John Wayne
Will Smith
Harrison Ford
Julia Roberts
Tom Hanks
Johnny Depp
Angelina Jolie
Morgan Freeman
Oh please, not Nicholas Cage! He has been miscast in every movie he's made except for Raising Arizona.
WHA? Oh Brother, is one of our FAVORITE movies! Not a wasted line of dialogue in it! The music is great, too.
"Oh, son, you sold your everlasting soul?"
"Well, I wasn't usin it."
Now THAT'S a blast from the past! I went to see that at the drive-in with my parents, when I was a teenager, over 40 years ago!
Actually, the movie is A Family Thing, and it's a WONDERFUL film. It's worth the price of rental to see the two old coots, Duvall and Jones in a fight! A truly sweet movie.
I'm guessing most of the folks who saw it when it was released are not even alive anymore. ;o) Nothing wrong with a new version for the grandchildren's generation.
WOW “Thanks” talk about making me feel old—It was released in 1969; I bet there are a lot of us still alive that saw it when it was released.
To each his own, as they say. I encouraged a friend of mine to see the movie, and she hated it, though she said her husband and sons loved it. ;o)
Heh, I suspect more folks our parents’ age saw it in first run, though some teenaged girls might have gone to see it on the strength of Kim Darby’s having been in it.
Oh brother is like groundhog day, you have to watch it several times to appreciate it. There is much more there than you can take in in the first or second viewings.
Oh brother is in my top ten all time favorite movies but the first time I saw it, I walked out of the theater wondering what the heck I just saw.
No thanks, a third of a gopher would only arouse my appetite without bedding her back down.
There is something special about Duval. He is one of a kind.
I’m surprised Mel Gibson isn’t on that list?
