For film buffs scenes from Ryan's Daughter & Far and Away were shot here (and it was the ideal place to hide Luke Skywalker’s X-wing, and for the green milk scene on Ahch-To). #Scape

neutral · AI labelView post →My #LastFourWatched for #LetterboxdFriday Ghost Rider - it’s ok. May have been a tad too hard on it with 2.5 stars Big Top Pee Wee - enjoyable but a massive drop off from the perfection of Big Adventure Far and Away - first time watch. Solid movie. May add to physical collection #filmsky
positive · AI labelView post →Tonight’s movie: FAR AND AWAY. Greatly enjoying it so far—a 90s period epic par excellence. (Sadly I doubt, though, that they’ll admit the land the United States is “giving away for free” was stolen from the Osage etc.….just like the English stole Irish land.)

neutral · AI labelView post →"Far and Away," a 1992 Ron Howard film with a 51% (rotten) critic's score on Rotten Tomatoes, would probably sweep the Oscars today despite many glaring flaws, because a movie shot on film with real people and horses and sets (and a John Williams score) starts off automatically better.

Felt it was time to finally give the film a watch & pleasantly surprised that it wasn't quite the disaster I had imagined, but not far off 😂Some fine cinematography and a gentle escape.

neutral · AI labelView post →🎬 • Far and Away (1992) - 5/10 Such a strange little movie. Equal parts absurdist as they are confused and odd. Surprisingly was not bored, but I'm lost on what to say about it other than conflicting thoughts. Looks gorgeous. Great score. Kinda bonkers. Overlong. So, right in the middle for me.
neutral · AI labelView post →I remember so vividly hearing it in the movie Far and Away in 1992 with my bestie and becoming obsessed with her.
positive · AI labelView post →Plus who remembers this movie? I know it was a hit at the time, but I saw 'Far and Away' and didn't even bother to watch this one. You know the last movie Kidman and Cruise worked on? The Others. He 'produced' it. She didn't allow him on set. Holmes had issues with him BEING on set though.
neutral · AI labelView post →That was a bad movie. Not as bad as Far and Away, but close. Why can't Cruise use his star power to boost a good original movie? I'm so tired of bloated sequels and remakes.
negative · AI labelView post →I just listened to the @thisdaypod.com about the Oklahoma land race and there was NOT ONE mention of the 1992 movie 'Far and Away,' which introduced an entire generation to the concept. 😂🔱🥄🛁🐎
neutral · AI labelView post →Far and Away is a very silly movie, Eyes Wide Shut is, IMHO, Kubrick's masterpiece.
negative · AI labelView post →Oh God Yes! Bogart’s Irish accent is horrendous. And the fact that nobody cares that he slips in and out of it is a testament to how great the film is. It’s matched only by Tom Cruise’s accent in Far and Away. Western Ireland farmer my ass? 😂
neutral · AI labelView post →16. Far and Away Arguably the hottest Tom Cruise film. I can’t speak to it as an accurate or even acceptable representation of the Irish, but it’s great fun and made with a lot of love and passion for that period of early America

negative · AI labelView post →To those who don’t think the US is stolen land read the 1887 Dawes Act, aka the Allotment Act. The famous Oklahoma land runs, which was a sub-plot in the Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman movie Far and Away.
neutral · AI labelView post →Saint Patrick’s Day is a weird yearly occurrence where everyone gets publicly drunk and then goes home to watch the Tom Cruise/Nicole Kidman film FAR AND AWAY. Sometimes people mess up by watching ROB ROY or HIGHLANDER instead, but those are the wrong culture.
