Anyone here seen the movie "The Whole Shootin' Match"?
Edited on Sat Mar-14-09 09:57 PM by fishwax
It's an independent film made in the late 1970s by a guy named Eagle Pennell. It's shot and set around Austin Texas, and tells the stories of a couple of drinking buddies whose dreams are bigger than their reality.

It's a landmark film in the American independent cinema, and was apparently the film that inspired Robert Redford to start the Sundance Institute. Even so, it was unavailable in any form for over twenty years, until someone discovered a relatively good print in Germany a couple of years ago. That print was restored, it returned briefly to (arthouse) theaters, and was released on DVD last year.

I just finished watching the DVD, and it's a damn good movie. Anyone else seen it?
