The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976) - Full Reaction
Added 2025-01-03 17:50:53 +0000 UTCJosie Josie Josie!! This felt like watching a movie with my dad. Although that may have been a bit weird because of how much I was crushing on this sweet farmer disguised as an outlaw 😉 I liked the quiet storytelling and how it felt like the olden days.

Perfect World is a great flick that many often forget about.
John P Tucker
2025-01-10 11:42:59 +0000 UTCThis one brings such memories of watching with my Dad, conversations about the Western campaigns of the Civil War and how they differed from the Eastern. He wasn't a big movie watcher, but he liked this one
Keith Jones
2025-01-09 04:59:19 +0000 UTCWhy are the commercials showing up on the YouTube full screen? 6 or 7;in the first 38 minutes of the movie.

2025-01-08 13:47:16 +0000 UTCClint Eastwood and actress Sondra Locke, who played Laura Lee, dated from 1975 to 1989. Clint Eastwood's most recent acting role was in the 2021 film Cry Macho when he was 91. It's gonna suck when he's gone. I have been watching him in movies my whole life. I think Cassie would like A Perfect World (1993) with Clint and Kevin Costner.

2025-01-08 11:15:21 +0000 UTCI cannot argue against Pale Rider, but The Sons of Katie Elder is my argument against Pale Rider.
Clarence Newman
2025-01-06 08:47:49 +0000 UTCI think the character Clint plays in Pale Rider is basically Josey Wales about 10 years later, watch it and see.
Richard Higgs
2025-01-06 05:13:37 +0000 UTCPale Rider is my vote for sho.

2025-01-06 02:10:32 +0000 UTCWe watched The Cowboys several times when I was about 10 years old in 1973-1974. I definitely remember Bruce Dern. My dad liked John Wayne.
Clay F
2025-01-05 22:52:15 +0000 UTCThe Cowboys was a good one. One of Bruce Dern's most memorable roles.
bgb1975 (Brian)
2025-01-05 22:16:18 +0000 UTCI think only a vocal minority on the channel who want John Wayne. Let’s do a western poll. I would vote Pale Rider but would be up for a reaction to The Searchers (which I have not seen). I liked The Cowboys (1972) when I was a kid. I would rather her react to the True Grit (2010) remake than the original True Grit (1969) with JW.
Clay F
2025-01-05 22:00:06 +0000 UTCNo dice, Chicago! Pale Rider is classic Clint and definitely deserves a watch, but after nearly 4 years, the next western has GOT to be a Johnny D Wayne!
Clarence Newman
2025-01-05 21:39:28 +0000 UTCDirector Sam Peckinpah was a director in a league of his own. A master of slow motion action and death.

2025-01-05 21:10:51 +0000 UTCEl Dorado is my favorite John Wayne movie. I've never seen The Searchers though. Will check it out when Cassie watches it.

Chris Thom
2025-01-05 15:36:27 +0000 UTCEvery time I see HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER I see it as part 1 of UNFORGIVEN. When you summon the devil, understand who you called. I think also of a book I read years ago by Victor Davis Hanson about "The men we occasionally need to save Westerdn Society and take care of a dirty job, and then, after they do the dirty work, we dispose of them and erase the fact that we pleaded for these exact leaders to arise and save us," (my paraphrasing). If memory serves, his examples included Belisarius (Roman Empire under Justinian), Sherman (US Civil War), Patton (WWII) and Ridgeway (Korean War), among others. I am sure we can think of other examples.
Above Average Dave
2025-01-05 15:32:58 +0000 UTCEl Dorado is one of my favorite John Wayne films, seeing a young James Caan is pretty cool.

Javier Hernandez
2025-01-05 04:19:05 +0000 UTCI would love for you to also take a look at the Dustin Hoffman western Little Big Man (1970) which is a kind of Drama/Comedy.
Javier Hernandez
2025-01-05 03:37:45 +0000 UTCI love “Oklahoma” and also “The King and I.” PiB can’t go much longer - plus Ginger Rogers’ gowns and costumes are just as legendary as those Fred&Ginger performances - and a feast for the eyes. Clothing was very important to her and she has numerous iconic fashion moments and stories behind her most famous dresses.

2025-01-05 00:59:39 +0000 UTCBut then you have Cassie saying "Spit on him" in the final showdown lmao
Gray
2025-01-05 00:35:59 +0000 UTCThank you Rose. Let's hope more members agree and we can develop a ground swell of support to make this a reality. We know Cassie would be big smiles watching Fred and Ginger work their magic. And listening to the gorgeous music from Rogers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma.

2025-01-04 21:27:51 +0000 UTCYou won't be sorry, Mark. Dinklage is a large presence for someone so diminuitive.
Clarence Newman
2025-01-04 20:30:04 +0000 UTCClassic Clint Western and plenty more great Clint films to watch yet, probably could do a 5+ min cut of just him spitting lol. Wish he wouldn't do it to the dog though that was rather mean.
Gray
2025-01-04 20:23:58 +0000 UTC+1 for Shane!
Rose
2025-01-04 20:20:05 +0000 UTCAgreed John - She can handle another true story about the holocaust. I would love for her to see Adrien Brody in “The Pianist.” Cassie has said before that she would have loved to learn the piano and thinks playing piano is really cool. Also another vote for a Fred & Ginger musical. They are magnetic together and have timeless appeal. She and Carly would definitely enjoy them.
Rose
2025-01-04 20:15:03 +0000 UTCBright Angel Miss Cassie, I watched you from the beginning, and your growth in films and diversity of genres has touched you deeply. From heartbreak 'Million Dollar Baby to Romantic/Action and Tom Cruise. You are magic, and we love you so much. Thank you for all the hard work and joy you bring into our lives.
Clifton Owens

2025-01-04 18:17:07 +0000 UTCCassie did really like “Gran Torino” as well. Despite it being quite sad and upsetting at times. She sings it’s praises in her outro.
Mark White
2025-01-04 17:41:00 +0000 UTCI like all three of those Clay, but if I could only have one, it’s “escape from Alcatraz”

Mark White
2025-01-04 17:31:19 +0000 UTCI’m big fan of “Kelly’s hero’s” Cassie will get to it at some point I’m sure. I think it’s a popular choice.
Mark White
2025-01-04 17:29:40 +0000 UTCTremendous list! Thank you! FORT APACHE was years ahead of its time and in part owes its perspectives to John Ford's experiences during the war, as well as his personal friendship with several Native Americans. One of teh first movies to portray the Cheyene et al as much more than 1-dimensional cartoon savages.
Above Average Dave
2025-01-04 17:26:16 +0000 UTCIt's near the top of my reaction wish-list for several years now and keep suggesting it. I even selected it to my trivia 5. But sadly, it doesn't seem to be getting much traction beside a few comment recommendations here and there. I think it made it to a few polls but didn't do well, as most movies this age don't tend to do good in the polls. We would really need some more fine tailored polls, for example featuring movies of a specific decade, to give films like these a proper chance.
Gábor Árki
2025-01-04 16:24:52 +0000 UTCMight be the most fun Cassie ever has with a war movie.
Clarence Newman
2025-01-04 16:19:29 +0000 UTCJohn L: Here is a big vote for a Fred and Ginger film, and for more musicals in general, Rogers and Hammerstein or no. Also, Clay F, I believe she was tearing up at the beginning of the film at what happened to Josey's family, so I don't think this film deprived her of anything. I know that is not quite what you meant, you made good points. I'm not arguing, honest! And Clarence N., I would love that double bill of Top Hat and Inferno! I always thought Inferno would be her first Fred Astaire movie, until she sneaked a back door intro to Fred with the recent Santa Claus TV special.
Mike LL
2025-01-04 16:09:50 +0000 UTCAgreed. I’ve been wanting Cassie to see it since Sutherland passed.
Scott Macaulay
2025-01-04 16:09:38 +0000 UTCThat one's getting a bit of traction on here lately, Scott, and that's no bad thing. Clint is great in it, Don Rickles and Carroll O'Connor are very good, but the heart and soul of the film is Telly Savalas and Donald Sutherland. I doubt either one of them ever enjoyed another role as much as they did here.
Clarence Newman
2025-01-04 16:08:08 +0000 UTC"Who Boiled Roger Rabbit"? Is that wishful thinking? 😂
Mike LL
2025-01-04 16:00:43 +0000 UTCA lot of people overlook Kelly’s Heroes which was my dad’s favorite movie and a great ensemble cast of classic actors along with Eastwood. Also a rare WW2 comedy heist movie.
Scott Macaulay
2025-01-04 15:58:40 +0000 UTCAlthough she did endure Schindler's List. Massively heartbreaking, ending was uplifting. I wonder if she could endure another true story about the holocaust. Movie Escape from Sobibor, not too many know about that one. Alan Arkin, far afield from what he's played before.
John Liebling
2025-01-04 15:56:17 +0000 UTCIn the interests of diversity on the channel (great films that might not be on anyone's list - it wasn't on mine), I'm gonna suggest "The Station Agent" (2003) with Peter Dinklage from Game of Thrones. Wonderful iittle movie.
Clarence Newman
2025-01-04 15:42:53 +0000 UTCYes, him being a teen probably helped. If she ever saw a baby killed on screen, I'm not sure she wouldn't turn the film off.
Clarence Newman
2025-01-04 12:01:07 +0000 UTCMaybe we need a "bunny boiler" poll, Walter: Play Misty For Me (1971) Fatal Attraction (1987) The Cincinnati Kid (1965) - I wouldn't trust Melba not to boil my bunny Carrie (1976) The Color Purple (1986) - Danny is lucky he didn't own a bunny Who Boiled Roger Rabbit? (1988) War of the Roses (1989) Basic Instinct (1992)
Clarence Newman
2025-01-04 11:57:28 +0000 UTCGood point. I agree with what you are saying. If there are positives mixed in, she can better handle the sadness, especially if she likes the ending. The Patriot did violate the cardinal rule of not killing a kid, which the kid was very openly killed and that affected her the entire movie. Might have helped that the kid was a teen (15?). Didn't help that Heath Ledger's character was killed -- she took that hard. Along with his new wife and several other key side characters being killed. Not the typical happy ending. Yet, was one of her favorite reactions of herself. The young daughter coming around helped. Also, the apparent or implied marriage of Mel Gibson's character to his sister-in-law.
Clay F
2025-01-04 11:57:05 +0000 UTCYes, I need to reshape my thought a little. She doesn't mind a mixture of good and bad tears, AS LONG as the ending is at least a modicum of happy or, at the very least, hopeful. The Patriot and Cinderella Man gave her that, Million Dollar Baby did not. The overall feeling as she walks away from the movie overrides the different pockets of emotion throughout.
Clarence Newman
2025-01-04 11:38:04 +0000 UTC+1 for Escape From Alcatraz. If she liked Shawshank, she'll like that one.
Clarence Newman
2025-01-04 11:34:56 +0000 UTCClint is the king of the one-liners, especially when it comes to his adversaries. Some of the greats: "Why don't you just sit there and bleed awhile, before you taste some real pain." "You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig." "Orville, that's no way to thank two guys who just bought us a beer. Why don't you get the check and I'll go outside and thank them properly." "On a scale of one to ten, I'd have to give her a two, and that's only because I haven't seen a one before." (In response to Burt Reynolds' "Ok, I'll come over and buff your body and put a nice glow to your cheeks.")...... "And I'll bring a nice foot to your ass."
Clarence Newman
2025-01-04 11:30:19 +0000 UTCShe was incredibly sad in both The Patriot and The Cinderella Man. In The Patriot, the young teen was killed. You know how she is about that. I wouldn’t call them all good tears. Her crying of sadness was massive in The Cinderella Man. She even had a special outro to continue her crying in retelling a sad/scary part of her past. Her sadness extended beyond the movie in contemplating similar predicaments of families today — not a triumph. Yet, I think she felt the importance and realism of acknowledging such, and maybe that effort made her feel constructive. The problem with MDB is the last portion is just so hard to watch. Agree, no enjoyment. I think unlikely that MDB would be one of her favorite reactions of herself. With that said, patrons (not you) may be misplaced in attempting to “protect” her from movies that lead to her profuse crying of sadness — as those are some of her favorite reactions of herself.
Clay F
2025-01-04 11:10:29 +0000 UTCI vote for a Fred Astaire double bill - Top Hat (1935) followed by The Towering Inferno (1974)
Clarence Newman
2025-01-04 11:05:38 +0000 UTCI think it depends why she's crying, Clay. She cried her face off in Million Dollar Baby, but she certainly didn't enjoy it. I can see why she likes movies like The Patriot and Cinderella Man though. They are uplifting tales of family and triumph against adversity, and I think she sees those as good tears. She certainly loves to have her emotions stretched, whether its to laughter and a sense of uplift (Eddie the Eagle, Overboard) or by a deep connection with characters who are going through Hell (many examples from war movies to the Rockys to The Last of Us and beyond), and I think she also knows they make for good reactions. We all love seeing her run the gamut too, because, let's face it, what good is a reactor if they just sit there not reacting?
Clarence Newman
2025-01-04 11:04:17 +0000 UTCIn April 2024 podcast, Cassie said: “Some of my favorite reactions of myself are actually the ones where I am like crying my face off. Because it just like feels like vulnerable but real. Do you know what I mean? Like things like The Patriot, or The Cinderella [Man].” She wept big time in both The Patriot and The Cinderella Man. The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976) deprived her of that.
Clay F
2025-01-04 09:23:02 +0000 UTCI am holding out for Escape From Alcatraz (1979). +1 for High Plains Drifter (1973), and even Hang ‘Em High (1968).

2025-01-04 06:25:53 +0000 UTCAll of these Eastwood picks are great but I am still holding out for that Kelly's Heroes pick. I think it'll make for a great time this Summer as a War movie. Even if it's not really a war movie. I think Cassie is going to like it as a comedy and a war movie.

2025-01-04 06:17:04 +0000 UTCMaybe a lot of members can request a special Fred and Ginger poll and a special Rogers and Hammerstein poll.
John Liebling
2025-01-04 06:15:52 +0000 UTCStarting the year off on the good foot I see. ;-) Terrific film. The Outlaw Josey Wales is one of the Best films from the 1970s, which also gave birth to The Godfather (1972), Jaws (1975), Rocky (1976), Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977), Star Wars (1977), Superman (1978), The Deer Hunter (1978), Alien (1979), and Apocalypse Now (1979). Hadn’t seen this in a while. Thank You. One thing though… You thought this film was made in the 1950s????🤨🤦♂️ You really need to see some more Classic films… via a Classics Poll, possibly at least once a month. For Westerns recommendations, of past decades… The Big Trail (1930) The Plainsman (1936) Three Godfathers (1936) Destry Rides Again (1939) Dodge City (1939) Stagecoach (1939) The Ox-Bow Incident (1942) Duel in the Sun (1946) My Darling Clementine (1946) Angel and the Badman (1947) Fort Apache (1948) Red River (1948) High Noon (1952) Shane (1953) The Searchers (1956) 3:10 to Yuma (1957) The Big Country (1958) Rio Bravo (1959) The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962) McLintock! (1963) Hang ‘Em High (1968) Once Upon a Time in the West (1968) Support Your Local Sheriff!

Hows about Clint Eastwood in another way sometime, in… Where Eagles Dare (1968) Kelly’s Heroes (1970) Play Misty for Me (1971) Thunderbolt and Lightfoot (1974) Every Which Way But Loose (1978) Escape From Alcatraz (1979) Bronco Billy (1980) A Perfect World (1993) The Bridges of Madison County (1995) Space Cowboys (2000)

Larry Darrell
2025-01-04 04:35:30 +0000 UTC"The Outlaw Josey Wales" (1976). Another Clint Eastwood film. The best western/civil war era film ever made. I have requested your reaction to this film for a few years and glad to see it finally made the grade. I always felt "Unforgiven" (1992) was a rehash of this film.

2025-01-04 03:40:24 +0000 UTCWhile I agree more classics and light-hearted fare is always welcome, we've hardly been dark for a while, maybe the last two (I'd say Josey Wales isn't dark) have been dark. Of the 23 reactions since October, we've had Coming To America, Some Like It Hot, Austin Powers 2, Grumpier Old Men, Superman 2, Son In Law, Four Weddings And A Funeral, Uncle Buck, Christmas Vacation, Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town, The Shop Around The Corner, A Christmas Carol, 3 Star Trek Films, Mission impossible, and Austin Powers 3.

Thomas Thompson
2025-01-04 02:55:52 +0000 UTCHey Patreon folks there's nothing wrong with selecting movies for Cassie, which will lighten up her heart, and react with smiles and laughter. And there are plenty of old school romantic comedies she's never seen, and even more Fred Astaire or Rogers and Hammerstein musicals. We gone dark for a while, how about going the other way, that's fun too.

2025-01-04 01:15:34 +0000 UTCI always loved this movie. Great Movie. Great Reaction. Cassie, you need to watch more Clint Eastwood. He has many different types of movies. Dirty Harry, Absolute Power, Space Cowboys, Pale Rider, Pink Cadillac, Escape from Alcatraz, The Gauntlet, just to name a few.
Rick Williams
2025-01-04 00:21:12 +0000 UTCThis was one of the 1970’s western that changed the genre to a grittier more realistic western than we got in the 40’s, 50, and 60’s. The spaghetti westerns coming to America. I read the book in high school and loved it. People don’t realize that the fast draw pistol gunmen came about in Texas after the Civil War.

2025-01-03 22:44:32 +0000 UTCI was never a great fan of Sondra, but she was very good in Sudden Impact, which is probably the best Dirty Harry film outside of the first one. The Which Way movies are probably the most fun.

2025-01-03 22:26:01 +0000 UTCShe owes herself that one. In her reaction to The Holdovers recently, there's a scene where Little Big Man is playing in a cinema. Cassie tuts and says "I don't like it when I can't recognise movies in other movies." Well, this is the one, Cassie. Get it down ya.

You’re getting a few good ones under your belt, but you still haven’t seen Shane. Can’t say you’re a fan of classic westerns if you haven’t seen Shane or the man who shot liberty valance

He was nominated Best Supporting Actor for 'Little Big Man', which starred Dustin Hoffman in 1970. The actor playing Ten Bears is Will Sampson, famous for 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest', opposite Jack Nicholson. You will also recall, Floyd Redcrow Westerman played Ten Bears in 'Dances With Wolves'

2025-01-03 21:34:22 +0000 UTCAgree that as the movie progressed, the movie became more about him wanting to protect people he cared about. "That's your one toxic trait, Josey." I thought you might think that. "Nasty habit, young fella. You born in a barn?" Paula Trueman who played Grandma Sarah was in Dirty Dancing (1987) as the old lady Mrs. Schumacher who along with Mr. Schumacher stole wallets of several guests at the resort. The movie can come across a little slow at times (long, paced) and older than 1976, but it is my favorite Eastwood western. I've watched the movie a zillion times over the last 40 years. The Sergio Leone spaghetti westerns starring Eastwood can get more attention, and Unforgiven (AFI Top 100) is his masterpiece, but I favor The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976). Thanks for the reaction. I do like the gray in Unforgiven. Two Eastwood westerns he directs/stars that I recommend are Pale Rider (1985) and High Plains Drifter (1973).

2025-01-03 21:27:58 +0000 UTCBy far my favorite western, certainly my favorite Eastwoods and probabaly a top 5 if not top favorite movies. The story us good. Action descent for the time but the dialog is spectacular, especially the lone watie's one liners.

2025-01-03 19:07:24 +0000 UTCFun fact. This is the first of 6 movies that Clint Eastwood and Sondra Locke will star in together. The other 5 are The Gaunlet, Every Which Way But Loose, Any Which Way You Can, Bronco Billy, and Sudden Impact. They became a couple while filming The Outlaw Josie Wales, even though both were in committed relationships at the time.

David Pipke
2025-01-03 18:32:56 +0000 UTC“The Outlaw Josey Wales” was based on a book and is pretty faithful to that book. There was a follow up to the book also featuring Josey Wales (and also quite good) but, as near as I can tell, those were the only books the author wrote. Josey’s love interest in the film is played by Sondra Locke. She and Clint Eastwood were living together at the time and made four other films together (“The Gauntlet”, “Every Which Way But Loose”, “Any Which Way You Can” and a Dirty Harry film, “Sudden Impact”).
Just Plain Bob
2025-01-03 18:31:39 +0000 UTCYep, and you can definitely see their positive influence in his own directorial work.

Matt Rose
2025-01-03 18:23:20 +0000 UTCYou will see many of the same actors in this movie and other Eastwood films . He developed a stock company of actors and behind the camera crew that worked in a way that everyone got along and knew what he needed.
Keith Brown
2025-01-03 18:22:16 +0000 UTCAs I've said before, while I consider UNFORGIVEN to be Eastwood's masterpiece, I consider OUTLAW JOSEY WALES to be his second best western (and it was the #1 movie at the box office the week that I was born). I had a feeling you'd like it because *SPOILERS* in spite of the tragedy that befalls Josey and his attempts to remain a loner, he ultimately finds a new family (the theme of surrogate families being a recurring motif in Eastwood movies; see also GRAN TORINO and MILLION DOLLAR BABY). In that regard it's almost like a reverse JEREMIAH JOHNSON. Ultimately, Josey gets revenge on the bad guys and rides off, not into the sunset like a stereotypical Western, but into the sunrise representing the hope of a new day. I believe he's riding back to the ranch to be with his new loved ones. This is a great film. Thank you for watching it. I can't wait to see this reaction.

2025-01-03 18:07:11 +0000 UTCCassie, Clint Eastwood DID NOT direct “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.” Legendary Italian director Sergio Leone did. That’s why it’s a spaghetti western - it had an Italian director and crew. If Eastwood had directed it, it would have just been a western. Other Sergio Leone films worth watching include “A Fistful of Dollars” and “For A Few Dollars More”, the other two movies in his “Dollars Trilogy” aka “Man With No Name Trilogy”, all starring Eastwood. “Once Upon a Time in the West” and “Once Upon a Time in America” were also directed by Leone and are also superb. PS: I know you didn’t like “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” but it’s my favorite western of all time. I first saw it when I was ten years old, sitting at the kitchen table in my uncle’s house watching it on a small, rabbit eared tv sitting in the corner. I never particularly enjoyed westerns prior to this and have no idea what prompted me to watch it. But, for the next four hours (commercials), I sat, watching and utterly enthralled. It was so different than anything I’d seen before, taking its time to tell the story, capturing wonderful vistas, with rich characterizations - I loved it then, now and always.

2025-01-03 18:00:26 +0000 UTCOne of his best movies and that is saying A LOT considering all of the movies he's been in. Hope you can watch the "Dirty Harry" series. That is what made him an even bigger star than he was before. PS: "The Searchers".
