The Untouchables. My favorite Kevin Costner movie.

Depending on the day Field of Dreams | Rotten Tomatoes could be my favorite Kevin Costner movie insteadf of The Untouchables.

Those are both very good. I recall my supervisory at the U of MN Law Library was studying Lakota while I was there and was thrilled when Dances with Wolves won Best Picture. She had hired a Lakota to teach her their language.

Dances with Wolves.

Robin Hood Prince of Thieves.
Cringing awful.

Anything but "The Untouchables". The title reminds me too much of the girls I used to date. 😩

No. Neither. Could they have been worse?

They were both fun but bad movies.

One of his first roles was of a card shark or something like that in Reno, Nevada.

Not a "movie" role per se but I thought Costner was very good as Devil Anse Hatfield in "Hatfields and McCoys".

Also enjoyed Waterworld, as well as Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves, both not so much for Costner as for the supporting cast. Waterworld was basically stolen by Dennis Hopper as the Deacon of the "Deez, and Jeanne Tripplehorn had certain undeniably appealing (ahem) attributes. As far as "Robin Hood Prince of Thieves", a rollicking good flick as long as you ignored the fact that "history" was obviously NOT what the movie was based on. Plus, Morgan Freeman was excellent as always.

Dances With Wolves? Great scenery but the revisionism was pretty over-the-top.

True about the revisionism.

A movie and book somewhat like Dances with Wolves has the same title of Little Big Man. One of the movies my Earl Wooster High School Native American History course took a field trip to see at the Pioneer Theater in Reno, Nevada. It was very good.

Terminator 2 Judgement Day. Best of the Terminator series.

I will go with Field of Dreams.

The Art of Racing in the Rain. He was the voice of the dog, Enzo.

Wyatt Earp

He was good in The Untouchables, but nothing can compare to the tv show with Robert Stack, and Neville Brand as Big Al and Bruce Gordon as Frank ā€œThe Enforcerā€ Nitti.

Costners Wyatt Earp was excellent, but had the misfortune as being released at about the time Tombstone was released, and Val Kilmer gave the performance of a lifetime as Doc Holliday.

Water world biggest mistake!

Best movie by far and I love most of his movies, even Waterworld.

"Dances with Wolves" was great. But, I hate to admit that I liked "Waterworld" also.

It was a type of movie that should always be made but so seldom is.
