The Sugarland Express.

I was an extra in that movie. But I ended up on the cutting room floor. What a disappointment!

Texas Across The River

A lot of Richard Linklater films are on that list. But not Bernie.

And that was a great (true) story and a great movie.

It’s one of those sites where you have to click through 25 pages to see the 25 titles. No thanks. Hopefully, “Last PIcture Show” and “Lonesome Dove” were included.

Last Picture Show was Number 1.

I can’t remember about Lonesome Dove.
