Movie hats

[Zombie_61]

great hats

but Ethan Hawke is the only one who looks remotely convincing to the period to me

I don't disagree, but none of the main actors in the 1960 movie looked like they belonged in the old west either. Hollywood just wants 'em to look "cool", not "authentic".

Doesn't look too promising, more like a cliché ridden TV movie..

Young Guns III: They're Not So Young Any More.

Same here. I like anything Graham Greene is in. Tatanka!

Have you seen 'Clearcut ' (1991)?........We get to see a very different Graham Greene.

Couple of neat lids in ' The Missing'


And one of my favorites, the hat worn by Viggo in 'Hidalgo'.....I was pretty cut up when he lost it towards the end of the movie..

L'n'M, I really like The Missing. I'm glad you brought that one up. I also really liked The Homesman with Tommy Lee Jones that you brought up a page or two back. Both were really great movies. I think poor reviews for The Homesman were a result of the downer plot (with the crazy women) but the acting & the story were great.

Since we're on the subject of Tommy Lee Jones and downer plots, "The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada."

Another favorite movie from long ago, "Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid".

And a couple of great songwriters in that one too!

I was in the line at Costco here in Fort Worth and the man in front of me looked familiar. I asked where I knew him from and he said maybe from TV's Prison Break. My sister went nuts because she loved the show and she recognized him. I never saw the show, but recognized Julio Cedillo from this movie. He was very nice and took some photos with my sister. I have had great luck meeting famous people at strange times.

Yep, that's what Dylan wrote " Knockin' On Heavens Door" for. I think "Knockin'" still stands as the #1 song recorded by other artists in Dylan's catalog of songs.

Was a very moving scene in the movie, & to hear "Knockin'" for the first time.

I gotta watch that movie again, it's been about 15-20 years since I've seen it.

Same here, isn't that the one where the shotgun was loaded with dimes.

You may be right.

 

[frussell]

Yep, "Keep the change, Bob." One of my favorites, worth seeing for the character actors alone. Chill Wills is hilarious.

 

[Hurricane Jack]

Slim Pickens & Katy Jurado made that scene, with "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" being heard for the first time ever.

 

[Hurricane Jack]

How about strictly big hats like worn by Willie Nelson in Barbarossa?

Or as worn by Ned Beatty as Judge Roy Bean in "Streets of Laredo"?

Bob and Kris on the same screen is definitely pretty darn special

From the movie "Tom Horn" as played by Steve McQueen.

I did a lot of research on the real Tom Horn; been to what's left of the Swan Land & Cattle Co at Chugwater, etc.

Major Arnold Taut was always one of my favorite Fedora guys from the 1930's

I've been told more than once that I look like him. I guess I can take that as a compliment, eh?

As long as they mean before the face melty thing.
