I enjoyed that series and really love Yellowstone even if it is a lot like some soap opera.

I like "Dances With Wolves" very much. I like "the Bodyguard". And I was one of the few people on planet Earth that like "Waterworld".

One of his first movies was set in Reno, Nevada and called Stacy's Knights and was about a card sharp turning the tables on crooked casino owners.

My favorite Kevin Costner movie is The Untouchables. Kevin Costner filmography - Wikipedia
I liked "Open Range". That was a good pairing - Robert Duval and Costner.

Now......."Mr Brooks was NOT too nicey, nice.......so I really liked it. And I had lived near Portland, Or. for a few years, and not too many movies had been done about that city.

I liked "Wyatt Earp". I liked the plot and even the ending scene on the boat to Alaska.

I have, sort of, gotten bored with "Yellowstone". I have NOT bothered to watch the 5th season. I saw the 1st 2 episodes of the prequel of "1883" when they were free on Paramount + and I liked it a lot, but NOT enough to order Paramount +.

1923 has a lot of action even though it is often hard to see how things connect.

As far as "Bull Durham" goes I vaguely remember seeing it a long time ago. I just read that Sports Illustrated called it the #1 sports movie EVER MADE. I must have been smoking something when I saw it, because I BARELY remember it. I would definitely place the Bball movie "Hoosiers" above it. And really there must be some more recent sports movies that are better than the BOTH of them......even maybe "Butthead and Beavis Do Lacrosse".
.......Oh I just thought of a REAL movie.......it was about a foreign film about a women's soccer team in IRAN.The plot was something like ....the girl's mother didn't want her to show her legs or else she would NOT get a good husband or some such nonsense. The plot was thin and hokey, but somehow it worked out to a good movie. Actually, I have seen several good movies from Iran and that surprised me. I have even seen a good series or 2 from Pakistan, strangely enough. One was about a detective......very good!
.,.,..Oh, and I just thought of another good (and old) movie that I think was better than "Bull Durham" and about as good as "Hoosiers". That would be that old movie with Charlton Heston where he is an AGING quarterback who tries a last-minute QBack sneak into the goal line. He gets hit really real HARD. Then in the last scene the camera shows blood coming out of his ear. Not a Doctor, but that is BAD. And I like that TYPE of ending.....like did he die or not ??????

A cinematic coup for sure.
Yes, the critics ALL noticed that.

I picked it. I liked it. Love those gills behind the ears and The Valdez was pretty cool to put in there. And I like the actor that played the Ship Captain. I know that the critics panned it, but...........whatever.
