Watched True Grit again last night. The Coen brothers remake with Jeff Bridges and Matt Damon.

What a film. I do love a good western.

One of my favorite films.

Hailee Steinfeld is amazing, one of the best performances by a young actress I've seen.

The Coen's are geniuses.

It's just engrossing. You get wrapped up in it.

Yes a terrific performance from Hailee Steinfeld. Those three actors at the core of it were superb. Great film.

I prefer this remake to be honest. The original was great also.

But yeah - The Outlaw Josie Wales is a superb film. One of my favourites.

Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid is up there.

Can't beat Newman and Redford as a duo, The Sting is one of my top 10 favorite films.

If anyone likes low budget British crime/gangster movies there's a fairly decent one on Netflix called Villain.

Starring the much underrated (in my opinion) Craig Fairbrass, the story is about an ageing villain who comes out after a long stretch with the aim of going straight but life gets in the way.

Worth a look if you like that sort of thing.

The two recent westerns on Netflix:
The Power of the Dog. Not a huge fan of slow burns, tedious to watch but ending was whoa. If you're not paying attention during the rest of the movie, you might wonder how it happened. Cumberbatch, Dunst, and Smit-McPhee all had good performances though.

The Harder They Fall. It's a banger that was a lot of fun. The soundtrack perfectly fits the movie, the cast brought energy, and I'm hoping for a sequel or a prequel.
