Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire - R "Don't lie to me! Love ain't done nothing for me! Love beat me down! Made me feel worthless!"

Precious is constantly abused physically and mentally by her mother, raped and impregnated by her own father but that didn't keep her down, she was determined to fight and pull herself up and change her life for the better. In the end, she did just that.

Very emotional and heart wrenching film, with a very unforgettable story and outstanding performance from Gabourey Sidibe who plays Precious. Mo'Nique's performance as Precious's mother was amazing and down right scary. This film shows us how 'precious' our lives are compared to others.

Jeremiah Johnson - PG Jeremiah Johnson is partially based on the true story of John Johnson, an American soldier who goes west to escape the war and becomes a mountain man. In 1847, his Indian wife was killed by Crow Indians, which prompted Johnson to embark on a 20-year vendetta against the tribe. The legend says that he would cut out and eat the liver of each man killed. Another theory is that he would only take a bite of the liver and then spit it out stating "the liver of the Crow is not suitable for a man." This was an insult to Crow being that the Crow Indians used to eat the raw livers from their game because they believed it gave them the vitality of the animal that they ate. He was given the nickname of Liver Eater Johnson and Crow Killer.

"His name was Jeremiah Johnson, and they say he wanted to be a mountain man. The story goes that he was a man of proper wit and adventurous spirit, suited to the mountains. Nobody knows whereabouts he come from and don't seem to matter much. He was a young man and ghosty stories about the tall hills didn't scare him none. He was looking for a Hawken gun, .50 caliber or better. He settled for a .30, but damn, it was a genuine Hawken, and you couldn't go no better. Bought him a good horse, and traps, and other truck that went with being a mountain man, and said good-bye to whatever life was down there below."

Instant classic in my book.

This is my kind of film. It has Robert Redford in the starring role, living off the land, surviving the wilderness and bitter cold, those snowy mountains and streams, and very little dialogue, with a simple plot. Through Jeremiah's gestures and glances, you could almost feel everything he's feeling throughout the entire film, from joy of being with his new wife and son, to the sorrow of loosing them, then the rage of revenge against the Crow Indians. Just an all around beautiful film anyway you look at it.

"You've done well to keep your hair, when so many's after it."

Downhill Racer - PG Downhill Racer becomes the best movie ever made about sports -- without really being about sports at all. --Roger Ebert--

Robert Redford plays David Chappellet, a cocky, self centered ski racer. His only goal is winning and becoming a champion. He clashes with his coach and teammates. He seems incapable of friendships, relationships, and even communicating with anyone. In the end, Chappellet conquers his goal.
