I’ve watched that film once. That was too real to watch again. Although my grandfathers didn’t storm the beach, they were veterans of the war and I can’t imagine my Papaw going thru that hell.Best scene ever.
What a great movie. My favorite western."We all got it coming, kid"...
Everytime someone asks me, "What is the most bad ass Clint Eastwood moment" I always say the end of Unforgiven.What a great movie. My favorite western.
Not a bad nomination. I remember her being interviewed after the making of the film and she and her costar starved themselves down so far that they would just embrace and cry together over hunger. My wife and I have seen two stage versions and the film. We have it on Blu-Ray, but the last time we watched it, when we got to the scene where he confesses "I am ValJean," we looked at each other and said that we didn't want to go through it again...This scene gets my vote for the best piece of acting I've seen. Anne Hathaway is an amazing talent. To be able to put this amount of emotion into a scene while singing is something I haven't seen anyone else do. If you haven't read the book or seen the movie, Les Miserables, do not watch this. It is extremely powerful in the context of what this poor creature has been through and should be view for the first time in that context.
Man, that was a powerful movie.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Man_Who_Would_Be_King_(film)#cite_note-7The Man Who Would Be King had been a pet project of John Huston's for many years after he had read the book as a child. Huston had planned to make the film since the 1950s, originally with Clark Gable and Humphrey Bogart in the roles of Daniel and Peachy. He was unable to get the project off the ground before Bogart died in 1957; Gable followed in 1960. Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas were then approached to play the leads, followed by Richard Burton and Peter O'Toole. In the 1970s, Huston approached Robert Redford and Paul Newman for the roles. Newman advised Huston that British actors should play the roles, and it was he who recommended Connery and Caine. Caine was very keen to appear especially after he was told that his part had originally been written for Humphrey Bogart, his favorite actor as a young man.
Christopher Plummer was cast as Rudyard Kipling as a last minute replacement for Richard Burton.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Man_Who_Would_Be_King_(film)#cite_note-7
