These are my favorites, probably,
because I’ve watched them all more than three times
and will watch them again
In no particular order;
Cinderella Man (Russell Crowe, at his best)
Tombstone (Kurt Russell, sure, but Val Kilmer stole it so well)
Shawshank Redemption (Tim Robbins and the great Morgan Freeman, and what a supporting cast)
Papillion (true story, Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman, a rather odd couple that became unjustifiable friends….as good as the book)
The Color Purple (what a great great cast, but Danny Glover’s dad, Adolph Caesar, killed)
Secondhand Lions (Michael Caine and Bob Duvall, serious subject richly garnished with hilarity)
Gladiator (Russell Crowe, and a great cast)
Rob Roy (Liam Neesan did good, but Tim Roth became an actor for me to watch)
Inglorious Basterds, yeah they spelled it that way (where Christoph Waltz became an actor for me to watch)
Life (Eddie and Martin, supported by a great great cast)
Open Range (Duvall and Costner did well...liked the realism of the gun battle)
aaand, a lowly movie The Ballad of Cable Hogue, because Strother Martin didn’t disappoint me
I’m sure there’s others…
