No, the only "feel good" stuff was his dealing with those black thugs harrasing the girl, and the various times he dealt with the Hmong gangsters. I was like, "kick his ass Clint!" And he did. |

Ivory - it *would* have been a good movie IMO....except the acting was HORRENDOUS ('cept for Clint, of course). I know they used a bunch of first-time actors. And it showed. |

I agree that some of the acting and dialogue was stilted, such as the barber shop scene. |

yup. His family, they all sucked in their roles, the Hmong actors, same. The only redeeming acting was Clint's. |

I suspect this is largely knee-jerk for polls conducted today, since we've all been told Citizen Kane is the greatest movie ever. It is fantastic. But I doubt the people voting on those two films have seen How Green Was My Valley, which was also excellent. |

Is that the one with the kid and the coal mining and stuff? I think I saw it forever ago, like when I was twelve. . . |

That's back when people had real imaginations, and went to see movies called "How Green Was My Valley" in black & white. |
