Always loved Kurt Russell, so I thought it only appropriate to comment on his page right after I did on Roz Russell’s 🙂
I have seen 16 movies from your list. I truly enjoyed Breakdown (probably my fav KR film), Backdraft, Silkwood, Overboard, Escape from New York, Unlawful Entry and Tequila Sunrise.
Bruce, exploring your site, I sometimes feel like my life has been nothing but one long visit to the cinema…when I count my tally of each actor/year and to think that I’ve seen so many movies more than once…never thought that I had spent an entire day of my life watching Kurt Russell!!!
Hey Lupino…right there with you on Mr. Kurt Russell…..and I am happy to report that I have you beat in the tally count. As I have seen 38 of his movies…..with most of my missing movies being his child and teenage movies from his Disney movies…..as an adult actor…I have only not seen The Fate of the Furious.
Glad to see you mention Tequila Sunrise…..it is a well written movie….my favorite scene involves a lighter…..that shows the Pfeiffer character that the Russell character can not be trusted. It is a very subtle reference. Also the scene with Russell and Gibson on a swing in the Tequila Sunset is wonderful to look at.
Glad my website….brings out so many different thoughts on movies.
Finally …did you know that Overboard is being redone?
Good feedback.
Happy Easter!
Bruce, you’d be surprised how often you’d beat my tally if I’d post more on current stars. Vin Diesel: 3 movies watched, Orlando Bloom: 4 movies watched, George Clooney: 7 movies watched, Mila Kunis: 4 movies watched…and so on. Compare that to my Bette Davis tally of 65 plus watched movies 😉
I know about the remake of Overboard, but not sure I’m looking forward to it.
Glad you also like Tequila Sunrise!
Hey Lupino….good to know that I have the current actors wrapped up. That is almost the same way Flora has her tally counts. 65 Bette Davis movies is pretty impressive.
As for Overboard….the are switching things around this time the rich person will be the man while the person pulling the trick will be the girl…..still like you…not sure I am looking forward to that at all.
🙂
Kurt Russell has been in films for over 50 years and he’s just 65. Cirrently he’s in Deepwater Horizon. Kurt is currently #357 on the Oracle of Bacon Top 1000 Center of the Hollywood Universe list. Back in the beginning in 2000 he was 388 so he’s sort of holding his own. These are the people on the current 1000 who have worked with him. And yes he has worked with Arthur Tovey 3 times!!! Kathleen Freeman too.

In Follow Me Boys he appears with Lillian Gish who made her first movie in 1912 so he has actors that span 104 years in his career.
Hey Dan….glad to see such good long lists on one of my favorite actors. I find his career fascinating….and he has such great stories to tell. He was on a few radio shows promoting Deepwater Horizon and he really shared some good stuff….from his time with Elvis as a kid, to his time with Walt Disney…including watching a first cut of Mary Poppins, to how he is not to fond of 3000 Miles To Graceland (seems it takes about 10 years before an actor will say anything bad about one of their movies).
1. Glad to see he is “holding his own”…the mid 300s is not too bad for an actor that has always taken big breaks from movies….and he does such cool things on those breaks….from playing minor league baseball in the Dodgers organization to making his own wine.
2. List one: Lots of great actors of today and yesteryear….18 for Grindhouse is a pretty impressive total. Well if he worked with Arthur Tovey 3 times…I think his career is complete…lol.
3. List two: The coolest thing is that his father is on the list with him….there can not be too many father and son combos on the list….Jane and Henry…..Keith and John Carradine….come to mind. Only Harry Carey Jr. for Tombstone…here but 15 in the newer page.
4. List three: looking at his Oscar winning co-stars…they all seem to be older stars…versus current stars..with Halle Berry being the youngest…and she is in her 40s.
As always…I appreciate your efforts.
There’s 4 Carradines that have been on the list (Henry, Peter, David and Robert). Sibs Kevin and Nora Dunn are on. Christopher Plummer and daughter Amanda. Warren Beatty was and sis Shirley MacLaine still is. There’s a few others but they don’t come to mind at the moment.
Hey Dan….thanks for that information.
Hi Bob
I totally agree Best of Times is a great film – very funny and very underrated.
I actually saw Big trouble in Little China recently and it’s (still) very entertaining.
If you haven’t seen Breakdown it’s absolutely worth checking out – good thriller.
SOREN
1 Have seen Breakdown and is VG as u say
2. Executive Decision is another good Kurt thriller
BOB
Hey Bob…I agree with you 100% on your comment. 🙂
Hey Soren. Watching Kurt Russell play John Wayne in Big Trouble is awesome. Breakdown and Unlawful Entry are two his better movies that did pretty well at the box office. All of this Kurt Russell talk has me thinking I need to watch a Kurt movie soon.
Hi Bruce
So Tango & Cash is the lowest rated movie…
I really like it – good action film and even Sly is quite funny and it has some great lines.
“you broke THAT jaw”…
Overboard is another great film – funny & sweet.
Great actor.
GOOD MORNING SOREN
1 Very funny in an overlooked film Best of Times. He and Robins Williams made a great team with Kurt having the iconic name of Reno Hightower.
2 The scene where Robin and hie are cunningly watching TV whilst pretending to listen to their wives’ conversations was hilarious. It was also true to life as anybody who’s ever been with sports fanatics in that situation will know.
3 Any Kurt fan or Robin Williams one for that matter who hasn’t seen Best of Times should put it on the ‘must see’ list.
4 In Big trouble In Little China Kurt also showed his flare for comedy. He was good too in Overboard but as I don’t like Goldie it is not one of my favs
BOB
Hey Bob….glad you liked Best of Times….the dinner scene is very funny. I really liked Kurt in that one…..but I found the Williams character hard to pull for. Still….I agree any fan of Robin and Kurt should see the movie.
Hey Soren. I liked Tango and Cash too….but critics hated it…..and with a passion…audiences like it much more…but not enough to get it out of last place when looking at the critic audience rating. I also agree about Overboard….probably his funniest performance ever. I also like Winter People another one that got destroyed by critics. I am so glad he is back making movies again….he seems to like taking 5 year breaks between movies.
I just saw Quentin Tarantino’s “The Hateful Eight” and I was very disappointed and will
probably never watch another Tarantino film again. A great cast of fine actor wasted on such mean spirited ugly nastiness. I wish I had never seen this film. It is without a doubt Quentin Tarantino’s worst film as a director.
Hey Lyle….sorry you did not enjoy The Hateful Eight. Your mini-review sounds like how I felt when I saw Kill Bill for the first time. To this day I am still disappointed in Volume 1…just blood and guts with very little plot. I have heard the final hour gets difficult to watch. Thanks for the review…I will wait until it reaches home entertainment.
