History Through Film 3.31.20

Day 12: I’m your huckleberry! This week we are heading out West to look at some American cowboy stories. “Always take a good look at what you’re about to eat. It’s not so important to know what it is, but it’s sure crucial to know what it was.” Look below to make your choices for this week’s films.

Movie #1 is my favorite Western and usually one of the most popular movies of the year. Doc Holliday steals the show with his one-liners. The movie is Tombstone.I hope you enjoy it. You can choose to either complete and submit the attached 6 square and written response or write a movie review by Wednesday.

For your second film you will complete a movie review and submit by Friday. You can choose from any of the following movies:

Open Range (Robert Duvall & Kevin Costner on a cattle drive), Unforgiven (one of my favorites, an old Clint Eastwood & Morgan Freeman), The Cowboys (John Wayne & coming of age story), High Noon (considered one of the best movies of all time), The Good, The Bad and The Ugly Ua young Clint Eastwood), 3:10 to Yuma
