I Will Fight No More Forever (1975) (TV) Re-enactment of the story of Chief Joseph of the Nez Percé Indians, who lived in the beautiful Wallowa Valley of Idaho and Oregon. In 1877, President Grant opened the Valley to white settlement, and the Nez Percé were given 30 days in which to move to the Lapwai Reservation. The government sent the one-armed soldier-chief, General Oliver Otis Howard, to clear all Nez Percé out of Wallowa Valley. Chief Joseph, in a succession of shrewd military actions, outmaneuvered ten pursuing units of the U.S. Army until his outnumbered band -- sick, starving, and tired -- finally surrendered after a 1700-mile, 108-day fighting retreat. On October 8, 1877, Chief Joseph made his noble speech, "from where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever."

It is sad to see how we herded the indians into reservation from east to west.
I guess this was the last of the free indians until Grant's order came down.
Excellent movie. Recommend.

I saw that back when it first aired; then again about 10 years ago. It is a most thought provoking movie.

We just went and saw that this weekend too. I agree with you it was a great movie. Cam and I just had to google him as soon as we got home so we could see how he's been doing with the Baltimore Ravens this year.

I did the same thing, and he is doing very well for himself.

I watched a movie on TCM ," Johnny Got His Gun", a day or so ago.
Wow, what a film. I just planned to check it out for a few minutes
but I became hooked. Man, is it ever a stunning movie.

I went and saw 'Brothers' it was a good movie but very depressing.

I watched A Hard Day's Night today when I got home from school (:

I looove that movie.

[Alysser]

I realized I posted good things about "Wanted", but after I re-watched it...WOW A complete waste of film, I can't believe I ever liked that movie. I guess I couldn't see how STUPID it was, especially the ending. Don't recommend it, and ignore my first rating. I have no clue what I was thinking when I typed that.

I think I am feeling some Star Wars or SOME type of Sci-fi tonight..I haven't watched Star Wars in 7 years, that's gotta be a sin.

I've mostly been watching classic Doctor Who episodes lately but I did see Benjamin Button and King Arthur. I didn't like the first, it was way too long and I lost interest. King Arthur is one of my favorite movies so of course that was fun. I dubbed over it in funny accents and stuff.

just finished Inglorious Basterds. It wasn't at all what I thought it would be. In fact it was pretty darn good

Lately I have been looking for stuff to watch on my cable.

I saw a wonderful documentary about Thelonius Monk and Nica Rothschild-The Jazz Baroness.

He the jazz great and she part of the Rothschild family.

I do not like jazz at all.....It was a really good. I enjoyed it.

--------------

I saw Gran Torino and loved it. Clint always makes a decent movie.

Now, for the sake of arguement?

People (I mean the groups like The Fraternity Under Communism, Kindness and Yanking Out Uvulas) get all weird about people making racist comments, but the have no comment on a the dialogue in that movie?

It was a great movie, but I cringed a little when CE was at the party and calling the people names. I understand the difference between an "art" form and real life - like that stupid Miley Cyrus making fun of Asian people, but I was tripping during the first part of the movie.

-------------

I saw Nick of Time with Johnny Depp the other day.
He is an EXCELLENT actor....I just do not understand his fixation with all the 'costume' movies he makes.

--------------

I also saw Body of Lies....I have to watch it over again, I like DiCaprio, I just didn't like Titanic.

I watched the original Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) I had seen it years ago but wanted to revisit this old classic. This is an excellent sci-fi from the 50's. recommend.
