Most of the old Epics are fantastic, from El Cid to a Bridge too Far, and all those in between. Plus some triologies, in the latter quarter of the 20th century.

"Unforgiven" is a great movie. Watched it many times.



Tonight, I will watch "The 15:17 to Paris."

3 Americans saving Europeans from a terrorist.

Amazing! You watched a rounders movie about the Oakland Athletics. Every once in awhile you do something out-of-character. One hopes this stimulates you enough to become a baseball fan.

appaloosa 2008 another, rare exceptional western
i think robert parker, massachusetts novelist penned book , he also wrote spenser detective boston crime novels . so not surprising it's of a high grade. brits can cheer on their land grabbing requisite villain jeremy irons. no spoilers
