Unforgiven and Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
My favorite best picture Oscar winner: Unforgiven | Film | The Guardian
Saw this is a large theater today at Barnstorm at Brownwood. It does make a big difference. It looks like they are holding it over and the ticket taker gushed with praise about this film. I was expecting a crowd but there were only about 10 of us this afternoon. Close Encounters of the Third Kind comes to the Old Mill Playhouse on Friday, September 1, 2017. Another really good movie. It is its 40th Anniversary. Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) - Rotten Tomatoes |

there are just some movies you can watch over and over, both of which you reference. In fact many of Clint Eastwood's movies and Mel Gibson movies can be watched time and time again

I hope they show more of these old movies. They had some movie festivals at the Old Mill Playhouse I often would go to. One was Alfred Hitchcock movies. I was house-sitting for my long term clients-- a couple of retired military/CIA realtors-- and missed a few of these. Had to go to Palm Harbor, FL to help these clients. Rachel Ballou and another theater manager at the Old Mill Playhouse often would give short talks before showing some of the Festival movies. Yesterday they had a short-- maybe 15 minute- interview with Eastwood talking about how Unforgiven came to be made and his work with various Directors and others. |

Mel Gibson, what a whack job. The man has crazy in his eyes. Too many Mad Max movies ? |

He does seem quite off at times. The Patriot was another one of his movies which is quite good.

That movie had the British government protesting it. They didn't like how the Redcoat officer was portrayed as a brutal sociopath. You don't get to conquer half the known world being a nice guy. |

Probably who Marion County, FL is named after? The Swamp Fox | History | Smithsonian Francis Marion is quite interesting but a very complicated person and definitely fit in with how gray many of the leaders were as opposed to being kind of black and white as far as what side they were on. Talking about good and evil. Last edited by Taltarzac725; 08-31-2017 at 07:13 AM. |
