    There's plenty of fantasy/non-action movies set at Halloween (Flatliners, Affliction, Donnie Darko, A Perfect World, E.T.) but aside from the Day of The Dead sequence in Spectre I can't think of an out-and-out action movie that fits the bill. If anyone wants to make a Halloween heist movie, I'm in.

    Two of his 80s films I like are under the radar too much imo. In Tightrope he plays a very flawed detective who is dirty but isn’t Harry. In White Hunter, Black Heart he plays a thinly veiled version of John Huston getting ready to film the African Queen. Plus, a Perfect World from 1993.

    Clint Eastwood stood behind us in the queue to go to the movies in Monterey California. We were undecided about what movie to go see, and we were so intimidated seeing him that we ended up picking ‘A Perfect World’ because he was in it.

    Unforgiven/A Perfect World/The Bridges of Madison County is his three-film run that wows me the most, and I don't believe you have A Perfect World logged on LB, either. So those latter two are my highest recommendations.

    I tried to see Mask of the Phantasm when it came out. Went to the theater and bought a ticket but the theater played A Perfect World instead. Tried to get them to show the right movie but they claimed that they couldn’t stop a movie in progress and instead gave me a gift certificate.

    I remember nothing about this except disliking Kevin Costner. He's a truly terrible actor and his one good role was in the now forgotten but pretty good Eastwood movie A Perfect World

  • The Red Circle @scottyeager.bsky.socialBluesky · Jun 21, 2025

    I think he went into a different, more mature phase as a director when he made Bird. A Perfect World was made right after Unforgiven and it’s a really good movie that seems to be forgotten because it didn’t win a bunch of Oscars.

    A Perfect World (1993)...The movie opens on Halloween Night and has continuing Halloween bits. The kid stealing a costume (and wearing it the rest of the movie) and Trick 'r Treating for the first time (after Halloween to get supplies while on the run). I watch this movie most Octobers.

    Rewatched Unforgiven, and it’s so transcendentally good than any analysis seems worthless. You can stack Unforgiven, A Perfect World, and Bridges against any other three film run. You might give it to Coppola, Spielberg, or Marty, but the sheer variety of Clint’s three makes it tops in my book.

    I'm a little split on 'A Perfect World', but one thing that is for certain is that I definitely enjoyed watching it. The reason that I'm split is because of how it portrays the lead character. I completely get the angle the filmmakers were going for, I'm just not convinced they pull it off. It's fun to watch, but I never once felt a connection to root for Kevin Costner's Butch. There are many a time where I was just like "Huh?". It shows a number of events that you can tell are supposed to make…
