There's a few actors that you can be confident in seeing a good show. Denzel Washington (really liked him and Christopher Walken in Man on Fire), Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones, Leonardo DiCaprio (not a big fan, but he makes some good ones).
Watching Josh Brolin in Men in Black 3 it was easy to forget you really weren't watching a younger Tommy Lee Jones.
Mel Gibson's The Patriot was a good one. Loosely based on the story of the swamp fox, a colonial who in public posed as a loyalist, his men would raid loyalist homes while they were at his parties. Tavington was based on Benestre "Benny the Butcher" Tarleton, who, upon catching up with a small force of militia and colonial regulars, set formation and marched his tired men into the Battle of Cowpens, with no knowledge of the colonial formations or the lay of the battlefield, turning the tide of the war. That small colonial force was led by Morgan and the militia was his unit of riflemen. They had a nasty habit of sniping the British officers, leaving the regulars with no leadership on the field, rendering them ineffective. Contrary to the movie, General Lord Cornwallace was not at that battle.
Ben Johnson loved to ride, and John Ford loved to film him riding. He, Tom Selleck, Sam Elliot, and Jeff Osterhage worked quite well together in a couple Louis L'Amour adaptations.
I liked the Jeff Bridges version of True Grit better than John Wayne's. Most John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart westerns are worth a watch, especially with Maureen O'Hare. She and Olive Carey had good roles and played them well. Olive Carey was in the searchers, and in Night Passage with Jimmy Stewart.
I want to see the searchers and she wore a yellow ribbon. John Wayne named his son after his character in the searchers, and the shootout at the corral in ribbon was played out how Wyatt Earp explained it happened on a movie set when he was an old man.
Dirty Mary Crazy Larry. Tore up the county but didn't actually hurt anyone, and got theirs in the end. That movie is the sole reason for my life-long want of a sub-lime dodge charger.
They say if you pause the DVD on the right frame at the end of Vanishing Point, you can see the trunk lid badge from the Camaro that they actually towed into the dozers.
The last one I can think of that hasn't been named yet is The Last Samurai. Tom Cruise plays a drunk, retired US soldier who is hired to train the Japanese army to fight the Samurai, but finds peace while living among them through the winter after being captured, redemption through fighting the Japanese army with them to protect the people and the way of life that brought him that peace.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
