1990 - Dancing With Wolves: "In trying to produce my own death, I was elevated to the status of a living hero"

1990 Best Picture

Premiered October 19, 1990 in Washington DC

Budget $19 Million

Gross $184 Million

This was a solid movie. The story was unique and compelling and the stunts were well executed. The locations used in the film were beautiful. The movie had the potential to be a great film but fell short of the 3 popcorn bag mark. The acting was pedestrian at best and the movie was too slow at times.

Joel
Favorite: The scenery was gorgeous. I am a fan of movies that feature many shots filmed outside of a studio.
Least Favorite: Kevin Costner was not the best casting choice for the role. I think that Harrison Ford would have possibly been a better choice or a 40 year old Tome Cruise would have been better (think The Last Samurai).

Callie
Favorite: The story in general is unique. It showed that period of time in a different light.
Least Favorite: When Timmons eats the egg. It makes me gag.
