49 of 49 · most liked firstediting a pod episode about A Complete Unknown and how it didn't really get into the politics so I'm hoping Mangold's next movie that depicts the life of Johnny Cash recreates this interview with The Highwaymen where Kristofferson and Cash go off youtu.be/gxYk7Ht6-Xk?...

neutral · AI labelView post →Kris Kristofferson (1936–2024) was an American singer‑songwriter, actor, and Rhodes Scholar whose raw, poetic writing reshaped outlaw country. Known for “Me and Bobby McGee,” he became a film star and member of The Highwaymen, leaving a lasting mark on music and cinema.

I promise,” said one meme, featuring a photograph of Kevin Costner’s character in The Highwaymen, a 2019 film about Texas rangers tracking down Bonnie and Clyde, holding a shotgun. “HANG THE TRAITORS, EXPEL THE INVADERS,” said another post.

He attempts to take a seat & we later learned I was sitting next to John Carter Cash & an empty seat with a black cowboy hat which was the seat P almost sat in. JCC yells NO

Not yet realizing the vacant chair was next to JCC, who had his hat sitting in the chair, my partner asked if he could take the chair, JCC forgot --Cont.

Early on I was worried it was gonna be just another police fantasy, but I think it decently muddied that image by the end. What’s yours? #filmsky #scriptsky #cinema

positive · AI labelView post →Kris Kristofferson and the rest of the Highwaymen remade Stagecoach in 1986. Actually pretty good for an 80's TV movie

positive · AI labelView post →I watched The Highwaymen last night, thhe movie with Kevin Costner. The adulation for the muderous monsters, Bonnie and Clyde, made me think of Piggy's suppoters. Inexplicable and incomprehensible.
negative · AI labelView post →Willie was there a long time…but he made the right move. Cash…I need to do some reading that’s not hagiography. Because other than The Highwaymen, it’s bleak from the late 70’s until Rick Rubin. (Still a talented guy. Starred in some tv movie dramas that were legit good)
neutral · AI labelView post →#OTD in 2019 the film The Highwaymen premiered on Netflix. The film dramatizes #TexasRaners Frank Hamer and Maney Gault’s hunt for Bonnie and Clyde, and celebrates the Rangers’ seemingly unique ability to “take down” dangerous criminals. /1
neutral · AI labelView post →I just watched the movie "The Highwaymen" based on the untold story of the lawmen who stopped Bonnie and Clyde. I guess that things haven't changed so much. The general public's infatuation with despicable human beings is universal.
negative · AI labelView post →I’ve only seen clips from the Stagecoach tv movie. It has all of the Highwaymen in it, plus some others.
neutral · AI labelView post →They were massive news. Cult heroes. 20’s depression, kids from poor backgrounds robbing banks and living the high life as a big fuck you. ‘The Highwaymen’ is the best movie. Well worth watching. Far better than the 70s one.
positive · AI labelView post →Check out The Highwaymen w Costner and Woody Harrelson. It’s a corrective to the very thing you describe. for most of the film you just see the destruction they’ve caused. by the time we see barrow and Parker it’s from a distance and they appear hideous.

neutral · AI labelView post →If you ever wanted to see a film that's more historically accurate to the real life Bonnie and Clyde I recommend Netflix The Highwaymen (2019) Faye and Warren make them look like sympathetic antiheroes. Great movie, but not historically accurate
positive · AI labelView post →The Highwaymen (2019) with Kevin Costner was a good movie, and there is a scene where he buys a lot of guns. I know nothing about them and yet find that scene fascinating. I'm curious if that scene is accurate naming all the guns he bought.
positive · AI labelView post →Don’t know how I ever missed watching The Highwaymen but I just finished it. Great movie. Nice to see the perspective from the officers who tracked down Bonnie & Clyde. That great scene at the end where they’re towing B & C inside their shot up car through town. Wow, I felt so many emotions.
positive · AI labelView post →The Highwaymen is a good movie.
positive · AI labelView post →I missed seeing Stagecoach the day they showed it for a film class I took in college so I reserved it at my local video store and ended up with Stagecoach (1985), a made for tv version starring The Highwaymen. Not the same movie #tcmparty

positive · AI labelView post →Tonight's second film on Netflix, The Highwaymen. #filmsky www.imdb.com/title/tt1860...
neutral · AI labelView post →Told from the Rangers’ perspective, The Highwaymen positions itself as a ‘corrective’ to Bonnie and Clyde’s romantic Robin Hood image. It responds to the 1967 film Bonnie And Clyde, which depicts the outlaws as glamorous anti-heroes in the spirit of the ‘60s. /3

neutral · AI labelView post →Have you seen The Highwaymen, the relatively recent (and rather unfairly ignored) film with Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson? B&C are the driving force even though they barely appear. It gets the feel of the period right, I reckon.

neutral · AI labelView post →1986's "Stagecoach" is not what you would call a "great" film. But it stars each member of The Highwaymen, and that alone makes it worth a watch. Here's a fun exchange between Johnny Cash and Kris Kristofferson. RIP Kris Kristofferson (1938 - 2024) www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TIT...
neutral · AI labelView post →Every time I'm about to give up on Netflix in frustration over horrible remakes and bad stand up specials, they come around a release a flick like this. It has a low budget, but it has a low budget that is very well and very very well disguised in a way that can best be described as pro-talent. It looks good, it looks like the 30s. It's also expertly acted and skillfully walks the line between funny and deadly serious as you get to watch the two old Texas Rangers walk through a world that has…
positive · AI labelView post →Tracking down Bonnie & Clyde Based on the real story, two renowned retired Texas Rangers (Kevin Costner & Woody Harrelson) are commissioned to track down and execute Bonnie & Clyde in 1934 after other authorities have failed. “The Highwaymen” (1983) is a great counterbalance to the 1967 movie with Beatty & Dunaway, which painted the thugs more sympathetically, as well as the excellent “Bonnie & Clyde: The True Story” (1992). The filmmakers shoot for realism rather than the thrills of, say,…
positive · AI labelView post →Expectations: To see a period piece centered around the take down of Bonnie and Clyde and all the events that led up to it. What happened: Exactly that. This movie isn't for everyone, but if you are hoping to see a good period piece with realistic action and events. You'll love this film.
