Syzygys 03-20-08, 12:46 PM For love of the game....
shorty_37 03-20-08, 01:50 PM I hated that movie Waterworld.
He is ok.....but far from one of my favourite actors.
Waterworld is like my favorite film ever
I love post-apocalyptic films
the city ruins underneath the ocean
the children praying in the sun
the hero saving all from drowning
and love eternal span (...hmmm :rolleyes: rhymes rhymes)
shorty_37 03-20-08, 01:56 PM Waterworld is like my favorite film ever
I love post-apocalyptic films
Really? I couldn't stand it.
Do you like the Mad Max movies? Those I like, and like Mel Gibson way more.

I love all films with Mel Gibson and Kevin Costner. All of them, especially the Last of the Mohicans. :rolleyes: oh the joy. I actually look like Mel Gibson in a way, now.
oh wait...that wasn't either of them. ooopsy
cosmictraveler 03-20-08, 02:02 PM Dances with Wolves is an Academy award winning 1990 epic film which tells the story of a United States cavalry officer from the Civil War who travels alone into the frontier near a Sioux tribe.[1] Developed by director/star Kevin Costner over 5 years, the film (released November 9, 1990) has high production values[1] and won 7 Academy Awards (1990) and the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture - Drama[2]. Much of the dialogue is in the Lakota language with English subtitles, unusual for a film at the time of its release.
In 2007, Dances with Wolves was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". [3]

Last of the Mohicans? Daniel Day-Lewis?
...does not look like mel or kevin
Last of the Mohicans? Daniel Day-Lewis?
...does not look like mel or kevin
yeah made a boo...
nietzschefan 03-20-08, 02:07 PM I liked them all, I don't really like him as an actor - but I liked the movies nonetheless. Like Draqon I am a sucker for post apocalypta.
Ok I didn't like Robin hood and never saw JFK.
nietzschefan 03-20-08, 02:07 PM yeah made a boo...
Probably the best movie ever made though, so you have good taste.
shorty_37 03-20-08, 02:08 PM I Really like that one Mel made Apocalypto.
I Really like that one Mel made Apocolypto
its got too much blood...I saw it. Also it felt a bit fast paced.
Repo Man 03-20-08, 09:30 PM No Way Out is my favorite film that he starred in. Sean Young was so young and beautiful. And I was very surprised by the ending the first time I saw it.
American Flyers (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088707/) is one I enjoy, since I used to do amateur bicycle races.
countezero 03-21-08, 01:15 AM I was about to say No Way Out, a good thriller. But I'm amazed there hasn't been any love for Bull Durham? It's an American classic. Or Field of Dreams?
greenberg 03-21-08, 03:01 AM I liked the way Costner acted in JFK and in A Perfect World.
Bull Durham is the only good film with Costner in it, and he was still shite.
Seriously, I saw that film a couple weeks ago for the first time in several years and I was floored by how goddamn awful he was.
Oh, and Wyatt Earp sucked. (Tombstone, at least, swallowed.)
shorty_37 03-21-08, 12:09 PM I liked the way Costner acted in JFK and in A Perfect World.
I like the movie the Perfect World. I was trying to remember what it was called. Thanks
countezero 03-21-08, 02:05 PM JFK is a piece of trash. A Perfect World is an under-rated film, but that has more to do with Eastwood than it does Costner.
Repo Man 03-21-08, 11:47 PM I was about to say No Way Out, a good thriller. But I'm amazed there hasn't been any love for Bull Durham? It's an American classic. Or Field of Dreams?
I've never seen either.
Though it's been ten years since I last saw it, I remember Tin Cup as having been a funny film.
phlogistician 03-22-08, 11:05 AM I don't have a favourite Kevin Costner film. He's a lug eared twerp who can't act, with an annoying whiney voice.
cosmictraveler 03-22-08, 11:09 AM I really never liked him that much but when I saw Dancing With Wolves it reminded me more of a documentary that a fictional movie. For that I did enjoy that movie because it was one of the very first movies that used actual Native Americans and their own languages to try to show us what the real west was like before the white man took over.
countezero 03-24-08, 09:17 PM Bull Durham is the only good film with Costner in it, and he was still shite.

Saw BD tonight on AMC, and I have to agree with you. It's still a great movie, but Costner's performance borders on morbid. One tone of voice, about three facial expressions the whole film...
Loretta 03-25-08, 04:40 PM I like Robin Hood, didn't so much like Waterworld and haven't seen the rest.
shichimenshyo 03-25-08, 04:42 PM I like Robin Hood, didn't so much like Waterworld and haven't seen the rest.
robbin hood was my favorite that I can remember, but i dont really care for costner he always seems like he has this mocho prick undertone in all his acting...:shrug:
shorty_37 03-25-08, 04:57 PM There another movie..... They were rescuing ppl from the water with Ashton Kusher. What was that called again?
shichimenshyo 03-25-08, 04:58 PM There was he other movie..... They were rescuing ppl from the water with Ashton Kusher. What was that called again?
stupid?
shorty_37 03-25-08, 04:58 PM stupid?
ummmmmm nope don't think it was that :p
shorty_37 03-25-08, 04:59 PM The Guardian
Yes thats it, Thanks Draqon.
I thought he was pretty good in that.

Syzygys 03-25-08, 10:51 PM Actually, I have to say I pretty much love all of his movies. At least 90%, and that is pretty rare for any actor...

he's brilliant thats why
Syzygys 03-26-08, 06:46 AM When I saw the movie For the love of the game, the audience APPLAUDED like 3 times during the movie. That is a very rare experience, specially for a non-Star wars or other fanbased film...

when i went to see dances with wolves (i went 4 times) and they clapped it was brilliant! I think Kevin Costner is unapprceated!
idiot0boy 04-06-08, 07:40 AM A perfect world is a great movie.
Orleander 04-06-08, 07:09 PM dang, am I the only one that saw Open Range (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Range)? That's my favorite of his movies.
