I read Crow Killer. How's about him killing the Indian kid they left to guard him, taking his leg to eat, and crossing the Rockies in the Winter with no shirt!

I wonder if Crow leg tastes like chicken....

Some think Johnson embellished his tales a bit , I like to believe though .

I came across the book in a book store out West in the '80's they had a large Western section .

I tend to visit book stores and museums when I travel , or maybe I just followed a cute girl into the store .....

I must have a dozen books about the mountain men and I can't find them. I read several accounts of Hugh Glass, the revenant was pretty close to true except he didn't have a son

Jeremiah Johnson is a must see if you haven't seen it. I've been watching it for the past 35 years and it never gets old . I have an old vhs copy tucked away in the basement.

Lonesome dove would be my number two then the searchers or big Jake.

" I kept a squaw nigh on to two years...Cheyenne, she was, meanest bitch that ever bawled for beads..

I loves the wimmins, truly I does, but the Good Lord  makes no rock harder than a woman's breast, and I can find no sign on it. "

Spent two years with a female panther in a cave up on the Musselshell. She never did get used to him

Hasbro traumatized a whole lot of kids with this one.  Including me.  I cried, damn it!

Those of you that are junkies of the mountain man era movies, there's a couple of forgotten greats as good or better than Jeremiah Johnson.... Mountain Men with Mr NRA, Charlton Heston and A Man Named Horse with Richard Harris, also a couple of "Horse" sequels. Also with Harris is Man in the Wilderness, which many think the updated version (The Revenant) of Hugh Glass' adventures are loosely based on.

The Godfather (& GF 2) were a couple of my all time favorite movies and of course the book too! Over exposure on cable TV has sort of run them into the ground somewhat! Don't think there's a month that the GF series isn't played on some channel. Of the same genre, Goodfellas is also a good movie.

Being a "Baby Boomer", the Viet Nam war movies are deal to my heart. Platoon is great, but so are either of the Apocalypse Now movies depending on which version you prefer.

Lot of pretty good Eastwood movies also! From the spaghetti westerns to Josey Wales to the Dirty Harry series to a few of his movies from the last 15yrs or so. Okay, so I've been a fan since his Rowdy Yates era on Wagon Train. The dude has been prolific!

Lot of great comedy movies over the years, just not worthy of any Top Movie List. A few that come to mind are many Bill Murray or some John Belushi movies and naturally Weekend at Bernie's. NO Sandler movies will ever make my Top List, very few are even worth sitting thru a 2nd viewing!!!

The real classics movies thare from the 1940's to early 60s. JMO, might be my shortened attention span over the years, just can't sit thru a B&W, character study type of movie with no attention grabbing action.

[The_Real_TCIII]

The Pink Panther movies with Peter Sellers. Old School, Role Models, stepbrothers, Dumb and Dumber. The Trailer Park Boys movies.

THE BROTHERS GRIMSBY!!!!! By far the funniest movie I've seen in a few years, you need to watch it a couple times, your laughing so hard you end up missing some great stuff. It's English humor, and they have that English accent, so you really have to listen. Funny from beginning to the end, Trump's in it

[Adkhunter1590]

There are so many awesome ones. Couldn't ever narrow it down. But here's one I haven't seen mentioned yet. Anyone know it?
