Upsettingly bad.

The best Elmore Leonard movie by a mile was Get Shorty. I just rewatched it a month ago and it did not disappoint. Every fucking scene is genius.

it’s funny how he’s mainly known for his crime novels, and their being adapted to the big screen…..but he got his start writing short stories for Western magazines back in the day, then western novels etc….and has had a ton of them adapted to the big screen.

Valdez is Coming
3:10 to Yuman (1957)
3:10 to Yuma (
Hombre

I really miss Gene Hackman being in movies... : (

While I agree, also love knowing he’s been out there making the most of the time he’s got left, getting hardcore into cycling, and enjoy his

The best Elmore Leonard movie

Correct answer here is Jackie Brown….for those that care about historical accuracy.

Yikes, I did not like that one. I put that in the unwatchable category, and a big Tarantino letdown.

Yeah, I mean, into his 90's, it's retirement time. But holy shit did he leave behind an awesome body of work.

And I love 3:10 to Yuma (the Bale/Crowe version). Another simple story that sort of just transcended for me.

I actually Re watched Tombstone a few weeks ago and it’s still holds even if it’s overrated ( by those who think it’s the best western)

val Kilmer is a stud in it though

Russell wore so many hats on that film (actor of course, director in parts, producer, etc.,)

The Robert Forster & Pam Grier arc is elite imo, and may be my favourite on screen love story….especially given its two mature adults, past their primes, connecting on a real, authentic level…..to me, it’s

Plus, watching Grier go up against Michael Keaton is deliscious stuff, those scenes are amazing too.

Then you have Bridget Fonda at her peak hotness, and DeNiro doing one of his most unique characters in forever.

The Eagles have two albums that outsold every Beatles album.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Yes, but in this case, that metric is going to be dispositive. Case closed.

I'd respond but I don't know what the word "dispositive" is without looking it up first.
