If you don’t like this movie, don’t hit me with those negative waves man

I recommend you watch (Open Range), you won't regret it :)

Disaster movies like this were all the rage when I was a little girl. They were exciting ‼️☮️

This is a pleasant surprise at this ungodly hour of the morning 😊. Even early on they were so into character development, loved the response to someone sitting at his fesk. Definitely a good reason this show ran for decades. Appreciate the work you put into the video and commentary

Have you heard of use to watch this show as a kid. Have you ever seen “No Escape” with Ray Liotta? Also had one of the best villians ever.

Skipped to the duel at the end. Whoa, different seeing it flipped. My brain can't take it. 13:53 It also quite well answers the question if Frank would have let the boy at the beginning live if the man hadn't called him Frank. Probably, yes, he would have, because he let Harmonica live too. He has no problem being cruel to or killing kids, but at the same time might opt to let them live because he doesn't see them as a threat. Maybe it's one small way Frank thinks he is a good person. He can show a bit of mercy. But he is also a cold-blooded killer. So he might have let the boy live, but when the guy called him Frank, that was the tipping point that made Frank decide to kill him. Till then, he could've gone either way.

Fun fact: the movie was shot chronologically, because director Rob Reiner wanted the tension between Kathy Bates and James Caan to build up. Obviously it worked well!

Great episode, I forgot how good the early black and white episodes were. What a good way to start the day, happy weekend everyone

And why wasn't I notified of this magnificence? Just popped into my feed! Anyway, not heard of this before, quite a cast so I'm guessing it's good. May have to watch for this one. I agree about the imagery, thank you as always for the video and commentary

Raquel Welch`s better western is called " 100 Rifles " with Jim Brown, Bert Reynolds, Fernando Lamas. Mexican 1st nations vs Mexican/ Spanish rulers.

I’d never heard of this one, Irish Guy, despite the loaded cast. Pretty standard western fare, actually, but worth watching. Thanks.

"I'll make it worth your while." "I don't see no pockets in that blanket." "I wasn't talking about money." "Well, I'll be damned. You do want somebody killed bad, don't you?" Fun Fact: This movie is considered to be a loose remake of Gunslinger (1956). Casting Notes Fact: In his seven-decade career, this was Sir Christopher Lee's only Western. Stephen Boyd made a brief, uncredited appearance as the gunfighter simply known as The Preacher. The Rest Of The Story Fact: Rodd Redwing, a fast-draw artist, was a Technical Advisor and worked with Robert Culp on this movie. Redwing suffered a heart attack on the plane returning from filming in Spain and died shortly after landing in Los Angeles, California. Gun Enthusiast Fact: Bailey (Sir Christopher Lee) makes Hannie (Raquel Welch) an English Tranter self-cocking revolver. It was invented by William Tranter (1816-1890) in 1856. As mentioned, this first model had two triggers: the lower one to turn the cylinder and cock the hammer and the other one to fire the weapon. The one in the film appears to be a cap and ball model in 54-bore (.442 caliber). The second version of this pistol had a single trigger like most double-action revolvers since.

I really love that scene where the gang of bad guys ride in to confront the good guy on his ranch at night. As the two sides talk and threaten each other, the two gunmen immediately recognize each other for what they are. They just look each other up and down, while the others talk - each knowing that they are going to have to face the other, eventually. Quiet, but effective.

I have always been impressed with how realistic (which is to say, dirty and gritty) this movie looked for 1953. Most westerns of this era were very clean and civilized looking. The saloon in a John Wayne movie, for example (at least the kind with dancing girls), would have the latest Victorian decor, with fancy lace curtains, hurricane lamps, and new paint. Here, the saloon (along with all the other buildings) looked like they were homemade (out of barn wood) and shoddy, like things really were out on the frontier. And the way the Southern guy was gunned down in the street, landing face down in the mud. Very realistic for a movie of that time.

One of my favorite Gene Wilder movies is "The Frisco Kid" (1979). It stars both Gene Wilder and a "little-known actor" named Harrison Ford. Gene is a rabbi from Poland who is sent to become the chief rabbi of San Francisco. He is almost immediately robbed and beaten, and isn't making much progress until he's befriended by a Bank Robber (Harrison Ford). It's worth a look, whether you plan on doing a reaction to it or not.

Django was influence on Tarantino it's not a remake after the o.g. Django came out they're was several western films that used the title django that is what Tarantino was referencing

Ive not seen this one that i remember, good one. These early episodes were so different in a good way, the development of matt is amazing. Going to be a fun journey on this decades long show, thank you as always for the work you put into the video and commentary

Congrats on being the only RU-vidr that did first timing on the Sergio Corbucci movie, not the one by Quentin Tarantino

You introduce your girlfriend as Transylvanian and not by her name?? Why not just say she's a vampire from the off?

Stephen king can do it all! I always thought the creepiest movies and books of his were the ones like this that could actually happen, yes he always finds a way to mention his town of castle rock maine. Always enjoy hearing both of your commentary, you so much compliment each other. Have a fun and safe weekend everyone

This is the only movie that I actually stayed in the movie theater when it was over to watch it again for the next showing!

My joy in watching a good scary film like Misery is not because I enjoy watching people in frightening situations, but because I enjoy how well directed like this one they can be. That's a major part of the entertainment for me. There's a scary film out there that is for some reason really popular that I find utterly sadistic towards its audience which I actually despise, but Misery engages an audience with empathy for Paul Sheldon and it really works. I mean every shot is perfect. I'd love for Teansyvanian girlfriend pick a film!

Thanks, Liam! Thanks, Ioana! 🔨🪵🦶 I so love this movie. 🔸 If you'd like to explore more of the 'Annie Wilkes' character, check out Season 2 of the dark-fantasy/psychological-horror/drama series CASTLE ROCK (2018 through 2019). It's an anthology, so it's not necessary to have seen the first season.

Those three scripts with the conversation in apartment, graveyard and park...you should put those suckers together and not necessarily in that order. Just a thought but it sounds interesting to me.

"I'm your number one fan." Fun Fact: Director Rob Reiner cameos as a helicopter pilot. Gun Enthusiast Fact: Annie's (Kathy Bates) revolver is a Colt Cobra "D" Frame .38 revolver. Automobile Enthusiast Fact: Annie's (Kathy Bates) jeep is a 1974 Jeep Cherokee S [SJ]. Paul's (James Caan) car is a 1966 Ford Mustang. Sheriff Buster's (Richard Farnsworth) car is a 1972 Chevrolet Blazer [K-5]. Lost In Adaptation Fact: While there were many minor changes from the novel, there was one major change. In the novel, Annie (Kathy Bates) cuts off Paul's (James Caan) foot to prevent him from escaping. Screenwriter William Goldman had stated that the reason he decided to adapt the book to film was because of this gruesome scene, and the effect it would have on the audience. However, Rob Reiner and Andrew Scheinman's script revision changed the method of torture to Paul getting his ankles broken with a sledgehammer. Goldman was opposed to the change until viewing the film. Typewriter Enthusiast Fact: The typewriter that Annie (Kathy Bates) buys for Paul (James Caan) to use is a Royal Model 10 typewriter. The Royal 10 was one of the first successfully mass produced typewriters which would set the technical standard for most typewriters that would follow it. Produced between 1914 and 1934, Paul's model can be pinpointed to be from 1914 to 1923 due to the double paneled beveled glass located on both sides of the machine. Models from 1924 to 1934 had only single paneled beveled glass. The 10 model would see use well after the model was discontinued as Royal Typewriters subsidiary Rigal Rebuilt would completely refurbish and rebuild the machines after they reached the intended lifespan giving the model many more years of use well into the 1950's and 60's. Due to its mass sales and twenty year production the Royal 10 remains one of the attainable typewriters that can be picked up by collectors of the machines in the 21st Century.

Did you notice that Shane calls Joey "Jimmy" once in his farewell? Is it an homage to the star already on the ground in "High Noon" when Will Kane tosses away his badge at the end? By the way, there was a short-lived (seventeen episodes) "Shane" TV series in 1966. Marian is a widow and she lives with her father-in-law and her son. Highly recommended: Jack Schaefer's 1949 source novel, which the Library of America has collected in a volume with Alan LeMay's *Searchers,* Walter Van Tilburg Clark's *Ox-Bow Incident* and Oakley Hall's *Warlock.*

Gutman in "The Maltese Falcon" likes talking to a man who likes to talk. He would have invited Shane to come with him to Istanbul. (As he did with Sam Spade, who refused. Strangely, in the second version of "The Maltese Falcon," 1936's "Satan Met a Lady," Sam Spade has another name...and it's Ted Shane.)

lee marvin turned down THE WILD BUNCH 1969,saying it was too much like this film(another reason was he got 1 million to do PAINT YOUR WAGON 1969),but he did suggest to sam peckinpah that in the wild bunch they should dress up like soldiers as a cover up to rob the bank.

1966.oscar nominated for best director:(richard brooks),,screenplay:(richard brooks,)cinematography:(conrad hall),george roy hill saw this film when choosing a cinematographer for BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID 1969,thus giving conrad hall a oscar for BUTCH CASSIDY.

sorta a remake of RED RIVER 1948,almost same dialogue from bordon chase who also wrote red river.

Clint Eastwood, in a 80s interview, expressed his appreciation for the Jimmy Stewart characters in Anthony Mann westerns. Stewart's Mann characters all have a dark secret or past that haunts them, which they must resolve. Eastwood thought Stewart's ability to go into a flash of rage was one of his best acting tools. Stewart's experience and suffering in WW2 gave him this added depth he didn't have pre WW2. Bend of the River is the film where Jimmy Stewart fell out with then newcomer Rock Hudson. In JS's fight scene with Kennedy in the river, JS lost his hairpiece in one of the takes. Hudson let this out to a Hollywood gossip columnist when Hudson was doing publicity for the film. Stewart never had any use for Hudson after that. It wasn't vanity, Stewart was known to do veterans' public events without a hairpiece. He felt Hudson wasn't trustworthy and never worked with him, or socialized with him again.

"Always point this toward the North Star. Then come morning, we'll know where we're going." Fun Fact: Theatrical movie debut of Lori Nelson. Authentic Battle Damage Fact: Arthur Kennedy was confined to shooting riding scenes until his knee healed, after spraining it while filming the fight scene with Jay C. Flippen. Poor Sport Fact: James Stewart was so upset when Rock Hudson received more cheering and applause at the premiere that he vowed never to talk to the actor again, let alone work with him. And he never did. Casting Notes Fact: James Stewart and Arthur Kennedy would work together again two more times, The Man From Laramie (1955) and Cheyenne Autumn (1964). Julie Adams has the female lead in Jack Arnold's Creature From The Black Lagoon (1954). Lori Nelson, who plays Adams' sister in this film, has the female lead in the sequel, Revenge Of The Creature (1955). The Rest Of The Story Fact: The sternwheeler steamer River Queen was the towboat Henderson, built in 1901. As part of promotion for this film the Henderson raced a newer steel-hulled steamer called the Portland. The race route was between the city of Portland and Rooster Rock on the Columbia River. James Stewart and other cast members were aboard the Henderson, which won the race but sustained engine damage. This was reportedly the last steamboat race ever held on the Columbia.

Anthony Mann's westerns are the best imo, other than Leone's

Jimmy was a national treasure, he had a way of being a humble man in real life while being a movie legend. Haven't seen this in years, thank you for the trip down memory lane.

I just watched this DVD the other day. How about that. If you get a chance, I highly recommend a hidden gem with Jimmy Stewart and Henry Fonda called Firecreek from 1969.

"The law won't let you get away with this. -What law?" --Icy! The guy early in the film mispronounces Oregon with an affectation that's partly accent, partly exaggeration to emphasize how far gone the back woods of Oregon were in the era the film is set in.

"Emerson Cole: I'll be seeing you, Glyn. Glyn McLyntock: You'll be seeing me. You'll be seeing me. Everytime you bed down for the night, you'll look back to the darkness and wonder if I'm there. And some night, I will be. You'll be seeing me!" Wow. You know, when he said that, every mission he flew over the Reich was right there, behind Stewarts's eyes . . . .

Shane, for my money, is the greatest western of all time. A few others come close... Once Upon a Time in the West, The Searchers, Red River, and McCabe & Mrs. Miller, which may round out my top five... but Shane is timeless and the themes, western archetypes, and characters are all spot on. I wouldn't say it's a perfect film... Jean Arthur has been used to better effect, and if I'm honest with myself, even though she's a great actress, may have been a bit miscast, but it's nothing to the point of where I think it detracts or really weakens the film much. The pacing is perfect, some great scenes, and it really just embodies the western genre perfectly. Sure, there have been other films out there that have done individual things better... there's been westerns with better dialogue, better gunfights, slightly better cinematography, better writing, and perhaps better acting... but few westerns have completely encapsulated everything that IS the western better than Shane. While it's a film that does nothing perfect... it does 100 things NEAR perfect and it just hits you on a gut level with the heartbreaking ending and rises to an allegory, not only of the dieing West, but also of anything in life where we have something we treasure and value and find that time somehow passes it by into the recesses of our memories and the past... yeah I love it absolutely to death and it's true art in my mind. - AClockworkPeon

Great reaction. One of my favorite movies. It’s got a complicated story line. For another great movie that I haven’t seen covered check out Slaughterhouse Five faithfully based on a novel by Kurt Vonnegut.

This reminds me of why this show ran for a record amount of time, the character development and cast. They didnt just throw conflict and fights on the screen, they cared about characters. Really enjoyed this one, thank you as always

Your volume is way to low!

I love this movie, a different twist on the whole coming of age genre. Seeing them so young really is fun. One of my favorites, every character gets to shine. Thank you as always for the trip down memory lane😊. Have a safe and fun weekend everyone

One of my favorite episodes in part because Kirk orders Uhura to take navigation after Stiles leaves, which she does immediately. Without any exposition, this reinforced that she was a bridge officer.

Not many people react to this. "Subdued" is good way to put it, and maybe "distanced" as well. Oddly enough, as good as I thought it was when I saw it, I've never wanted to watch it again. It's almost like that one experience is complete.

Have you read the novella it's based on? It's really tremendous.

Thanks to Liam and Ioana! 🛤 The great *Rob* *Reiner* directed this classic coming-of-age tale written by the equally cool Stephen King.

Saw this in the theater with my girlfriend when it premiered.....It really affected me; I identified totally with Gordie (I wanted to be a writer too). As we walked to the car, girlfriend says "...I don't think boys talk to each other that way." ...Pissed me off. I felt like saying "How would YOU know?"......My neighborhood friends, male cousins and I DID talk like that, about life issues, even though we were only 12.

At the end when he relates how their lives all turned out, it seems like he tells Vern's as a sort of failure, like he never "went anywhere": "Vern got married out of high school, had 4 kids, and is the forklift operator at the lumber yard." Even the two of you looked at each other like it was kind of a sad outcome. But every time I hear that line I can't help thinking that it sounds like Vern's perfect life - he probably wakes up every morning thrilled and grateful that he has a wife and 4 kids and gets to drive a forklift every day at work! 😄

Brilliant film. My favourite ever
