Am I the only one with any Thunderheart love?
Zoe: Nobody's saying that, sir. Wash: Yeah, we're pretty much just giving each other significant glances and laughing incessantly.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Did nobody see Willow? I was all swoony over Madmartigan. "You are my sun, my moon, my starlit sky! Without you, I dwell in darkness!"
Man, oh, man do I love that movie. Mostly for Val.
And for the brownies.
How can you NOT love a six inch high Kevin Pollak????

No no. I'm a notorious Thunderheart recommender. I love everything about it.
It was sad though, to troll Native American message boards to hear "Based on a true story?, it IS a true story in every way."

Nope. I like that one, too. I think VK has so much fun with his parts that he's hard not to enjoy watching.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I loved the relationship between Greene's and Kilmer's characters. "Fuck you, Crow Horse," remains a familiar rejoinder in the family lexicon. As does, "There ain't no word in Lakota for goodbye, Ray." And the hesitant, half-believing "...Jimmy?" when something possibly spooky happens.
So. I guess we didn't so much *love* Thunderheart as *incorporate* it, much like Pirates of Penzance, Ghostbusters, and Princess Bride.

And Rick Overton!

TOP SECRET will always be my favorite Val Kilmer movie.

I heart Greene even more than Kilmer. And I was impressed with Sam Sheperd's steely baddie..."Nothing worse than a madman, thinks he's right with God." Or whatever Mal's quote is about characters like that.

"Officer down. We've got an officer down!"
[over radio] "Was the officer shot?"
"No, he was bit by a fuckin' badger."
