Outlaw Josey Wales, The
|
IMDB rating: 7.70 Plot: Josey Wales is a peaceful farmer in the days near the end of the Civil War. After his home is burned and his family murdered, he hardens into a human bullet - dedicated to destroying the renegades who took his “life.” He joins a band of unreconstructed rebel guerilla fighters who continue to fight the Union - even after the official surrender of the Confederacy - an action which makes them, legally, outlaws. Josey is driven by vengeance, but after a while, that’s not enough. Back before his own personal Holocaust, he had been a builder - of home, family, farm, and life. And no matter how much ice he’s wrapped himself in, down inside there’s still the soul of a living man. While Wales exists, he’s pulled by this hidden yearning to Live. Each day offers him chances to remember, to assuage his yearning, to begin again. And the movie shows us how Josey Wales - a mere seeker of vengeance - learns to live again, rededicated to the values he chose so long ago. |

Wasn’t "Apocalypse Now" the best film of that time - or perhaps that was a 80’s film. It was an asskicker.
I was going to say - "In the Heat of the Night" with Rod Steiger - but that’s a 60’s film….
"Deliverance"???
In your list, the most really remarkable film was "The Outlaw Josey Wales". I’ve seen that thing a couple times - and it’s one of those perfectly made films - "Little Big Man" was another of these, but that might have been an 80’s film.

aahhh…the 70s…before VHS and multi-plexes, when people used to wait in line to see the lastest release….now a movie comes out on DVD with bonus features and the "movie" is a remake of a previous classic?
