I agree, Bill. And it's interesting to watch the Coen's version and the 1969 Henry Hathaway version. Hathaway veered away from the Charles Portis novel ( a classic book in its own right ) while the Coen boys almost followed the book verbatim, including lifting much of the original dialogue from the pages of the novel. Although I still have a soft spot for John Wayne's Rooster Cogburn, Bridges did an admirable job. Matt Damon did a hands down better job as Leboeuf than Glen Campbell, who really wasn't that good an actor. And the little actress playing Mattie Ross was fabulous. I have both versions in my collection now and will watch both frequently .

Classic film double bill tonight--Delmer Dave’s Cowboy ( 1958 ) and Henry Hathaway’s noir, Kiss of Death (1947). Each has been sitting on my shelf (unwrapped until now) for too long. On BD from Twilight Times. -
Several years ago, I decided that I wanted to read all of the "classic" works of literature, and dove into a reading list including Stranger in a Strange Land, Catcher in the Rye, various Asimov, Steinbeck, Ayn Rand, etc. I'm making progress.
Since then, I've started to buy... -
I see that the Cohen Brothers are releasing a remake of "True Grit". Since I am a Cohen Brothers fan, I can't wait. So far, it is the only film for this year that I am looking forward to.
