Dustin Hoffman - Wikipedia

I recall seeing Little Big Man around 1975 in Reno, Nevada with my Native American History class members from Earl Wooster HS. More than 2/3rds of the class were Paiute, Washoe or Shoshone Indians.

Quite an entertaining movie. We also saw A Man Called Horse on another day.

Think my favorite Dustin Hoffman movie is Tootsie. Tootsie - Wikipedia

Much like Dustin Hoffman. He's one of those actors who makes it on talent.

I first saw him in The Graduate, but as far as my favorite is has to be Rain Man. He had that whole autism persona down pat (I realize that there is no "one size fits all" to such a role) and pretty much carried Tom Cruise. I doubt many actors could have done anywhere near the job that he did.

Midnight Cowboy

Either Papillon or Rain Man.

When Little Big Man came out, I considered it one of the best movies ever made. Last time I saw it, I realized how politically correct it is. True, many American Indians were badly treated in the 1860s, and that is a horrible thing, but the film leaves out the fact that this was partly because of what the Indians had been doing. Witness the Sioux Massacre in Minnesota in August 1862, when 358 unexpecting settlers and 77 soldiers and 29 other volunteers were killed. This was why the government decided the Indians had to be moved onto reservations, but that isn’t mentioned in the movie. My ancestors arrived in Minnesota five years later from Denmark and were then safe from Indian attacks. Dakota War of 1862 - Wikipedia

Here’s part of what Wikipedia says about the movie: “Little Big Man is an early revisionist Western in its sympathetic depiction of Native Americans and its exposure of the villainous practices of the United States Cavalry. The revision uses elements of satire and tragedy to examine prejudice and injustice. Little Big Man is an anti-establishment film of the period, indirectly protesting against America's involvement in the Vietnam War by portraying the United States Armed Forces negatively.”

The Graduate and Midnight Cowboy are my favorites. Rainman is the only movie I've ever walked out of, it's my least favorite film ever.
