Kurt Russell is a great asset to the movie industry. Good page!
@professional 25…I agree with you 100% thanks for the visit
Tequila Sunrise is pretty darn good….especially liked the bad guy Raul Julia
Hey hinton….I love Tequilla Sunrise…it might be Russell’s best performance…thanks for the visit
I can watch Miracle….again….again……again….again….again…
Good movie reference Tree 33….to the whistle blowing scene in Miracle…..that made me laugh
To bad he died in Backdraft and the Baldwin lived. Also, the Thing is being redone, might we see Macready at the end like in the video game.
Hey BryRog…..the new Thing movie needed some Macready….it was pretty horrible.
One of the few child actos who made good. Too bad he doesn’t make very many movies any more. I remember him way back in the 60s in that “Gilligan’s Island” episode. My favorite Kurt Russell film is “Tombstone”.
Hey Rob. Tombstone is my favorite as well…..am I so glad Tombstone won that Tombstone/Wyatt Earp debate when both movies came out the same year
