FIRST TIME WATCHING 'OPEN RANGE' (2003) | **MOVIE REACTION**

What is your favourite Kevin Costner Western?

The guy who runs the coffee shop is Herb Kohler, owner of the Kohler plumbing g fixtures company and who also owns some world-class golf courses. He helped bankroll this movie and had a premier in Sheboygan, Wis., where he lives. This movie has one of the best shootout scenes ever.

This is probably Costner's best western. He plays this hard bitten character very well, and it gives his screen image a little more edge. Duvall has done so many great western roles over the years that I'd probably no better than third, behind Lonesome Dove (my favorite western) and Broken Trail, lesser known but it really is a terrific mini-series. Thanks for the reaction, and a premature Happy St. Patrick's Day. Slainte!

This is my favorite Costner western.

The great Irish/English actor, Michael Gambon, plays Baxter. Baxter is an Ulsterman. Gambon was born in Cabra, Dublin, but early in life took English citizenship and residence. I believe he's on a n Irish Times top Irish actor list. He just passed a few years ago.

"Broken Trail", a 2006 mini-series is the third in what Robert Duvall called his western trilogy, after "Lonesome Dove" and " Open Range" Highly recommended!

A few years back I was stuck in a traffic jam trying to get through the notorious Blackwall Tunnel in East London. Michael Gambon was in the car next to me (I believe it was an Audi R8 spyder). As soon as we emerged on the other side of the river he put his foot down in the manner you might expect from a man who had a corner named after him on the Top Gear race track. RIP.

This is my favorite Costner western and one of my favorite westerns overall. I especially love the romance, so well written and acted. It’s particularly notable because it is a romance between older adults, something rarely done in films.

Kevin came out in the TV mini-series Hatfields & McCoys from 2012 with Bill Paxton and a bunch of other stars.

I love this movie. You should check out Broken Trail with Robert Duvall and Thomas Haden Church.

My favorite Costner movie. Robert Duval played my favorite character ever in Lonesome Dove, but this was one of my favorite movies.

This is one of the better modern day westerns, good gunfight scene. It drags in parts, especially resolving the love affair at the end. Charlie was a bushwacker and guerilla fighter in the Civil War. He had a lot more killing experience than Boss.

Dumbledore! Michael Gambon plays the heavy, Baxter, so his Irish accent is genuine. Diego Luna plays the kid, Button. These days he's better known for Star Wars: Andor. The shoot out in Open Range is one of the best ever put to film, a touch of gritty realism in what otherwise is a Western romance. Solid.

Open Range and Field of Dreams were both great!

Costner's first Western was 1985's "Silverado." He was pretty young in that one. Probably early 20s, I think. But that was the first film I think I ever saw him in. That film has a star-studded cast to. Just about everybody who's anybody in the Western film genre was in that film. But it was just your all around great Western films. It checked all the boxes for Westerns. I watched it all the time as a kid from a recorded copy from HBO back in the day on VHS. It was nearly the first modern Western after the heyday of the 50s - 70s Westerns that had that old fashioned way of making movies.

Saw this a few years back, somehow it had completely gone under the radar for me for about 20 years. I wasn't expecting much, but it quickly became one of my favorite westerns. I like Kevin Costner and I've always loved Robert Duvall. Gotta get me one of those 20-shooter guns Costner was using at the end :P

@24:48 Texas Bluebonnet is a kind of flower, (you can pick them in red dead redemption 2) which is a reference to baby boy’s blue bonnets. Boss didn’t exactly have the manliest name. I love this detail seemingly irrelevant to the story but enriching the characters.

I also recommend Broken Trail with Robert Duvall. It is a 2-part mini series that originally aired on AMC in the United States.

This is a solid western, and, for me, a surprise when I saw it. Good one.

@9:37 You’te not the only reactor who thought ‘sugar’ was something else.
