movie reco

Thanks Monet. I think I remember seeing some or perhaps all of Bull Durham, but not the other two. I enjoyed Waterworld even though it flopped (relative to its cost to make).

I could watch Waterworld and the Postman 100 times in a row, back to back, before I would watch For Love of the Game again lol.
Although, if I am flipping through the channels and I land on, For Love of the Game, I will keep it on to see how long I can take it before I change the channel.

Waterworld made a little money depending on how you look at the numbers.
235 Million to make it and it grossed 264 Million worldwide.
My father liked it because of Dennis Hopper.

The Postman cost 80 to 85 Million to make.
The Postman was a major critical failure and a box-office bomb, grossing a total of $20 million worldwide.
It was nominated for three Saturn Awards but won all five of its Golden Raspberry Award nominations including Worst Picture.

Win Some.
Lose Some.
I'm pretty sure that Kevin Costner cleaned up with Dances with Wolves.
Honestly, who doesn't like Kevin Costner?
He has the same charisma as Paul Newman.
Paul Newman is superior though just for the fact that he actually raced cars later in his life and won races.
He was able to actually force the movie industry to accept the risk of him racing while filming movies.
That might be more pull than what Kirk Douglas had with his star power.
Kirk Douglas did make it to 103 years old which is impressive.
He tells a story of how he had a gun in his mouth, in his bedroom, when he did his documentary show: Before I Forget (2009).

Obviously, we can name many other similar types of men in the movie industry like:
Clint Eastwood
Steve McQueen
Robert Redford
etc. etc.
