Secondhand Lions!

Since she's an animal lover it's one of the wife's favorites. Always watch it when it's on.

I wasn't too keen on it when I first saw it but over the years I've come to realize that it was MUCH better than I first thought.



No, now I have an excuse to watch it again.

It was Texas Song writing Ace, the Wacko from Waco, Billy Joe Shaver.
He and Duval are friends.
 
I had never heard of it before until one of my sons called awhile back and said, "Dad, you've got to see this movie. Those two old guys remind me exactly of you and Uncle Kev!"

Hmmm. After watching it, I'm not sure if I should take that as a compliment or not...but the more I think about it, I guess he was right.

Either way, I thought it was a great movie. Thoroughly entertaining.
 
I thought of this movie this last week when the news of the sanctuary lions tigers and bears being killed.
Both of those guys were ready to face a man eating lion, and they face a lion just like them. Jasmine turns out to become the family pet and guard.
 
That's a great picture, I have a copy of it!
Anything with Duval and Caine is usually always good!;)
Yes I do believe that back in the day it was a sleeper! :cool:
 
Great movie! The pairing of Cain and Duvall made for movie magic. My favorite scene is the opening showing the long entry road with all the sign's, I want a place like that!
 
An old friend, now deceased brought a dvd of the movie in when he was framing and wiring the interior of my shop building a number of years back. He said that when he saw the initial scene with the salesman he immediately thought of me. I really didn't think I was that bad, but then again I don't have any problems out here either.
 
We are big fans of the movie and think it is great and a lot of fun. I loved Hub telling Mae's boyfriend he was lucky that Jasmine got to him before he and Garth did. It is also fun to watch the original ending with everybody who showed at the funeral to pay their respects: Walter and his wife and kids, the four hoods now grown men, a French Foreign Legion honor guard and even the sheik making an appearance to show his respects.
 
One of the best movies ever made, definitely on my favorites list. Rarely can I watch a movie more than once, and I have seen this several times and every time it is entertaining. Wonderful, heartwarming movie ♥•.¸❤❤¸.•♥
 
I still have a copy of SHL on VHS, but haven't used my VHS player for years. SHL is one of my wife's favorites. Another one she really likes is Happy, Texas, I have it on VHS also.

I got a steal of a price on a new Sanyo combination VHS/DVD player from H-E-B's electronics section about a year ago (when they still had an electronics section), it had been sitting on a shelf there for at least six months. I offered $25 for it, and they accepted. I still have many old movies on VHS, but I hardly ever watch them. The picture quality of the old VHS tapes has deteriorated quite a bit with age, and some of mine are probably close to 30 years old. But I just can't bring myself to pitch them.
