Have Guns, Will Film

Word of mouth still works for promoting movies. That's how the Queen Mother and Royal Father found out about Silverado, Lawrence Kasdan's 1985 western featuring your classic good-guys-versus-bad-guys matchup. Our next door neighbors saw it and recommended it. Then we stepped into the theater.

A look at the films
that have left a mark on my life.

I never had much affinity for Westerns as a kid, but this one at least held my attention. That's even though so much of this film seems to wander around. And when a Western does that, the action had better be good.

Fortunately, it is, right down to your skivvies.

You can watch it all -- with some commercial interruptions -- here on Crackle.
