"Open Range" is one I've seen over and over. Like "Lonesome Dove" it stars Robert Duvall. It was produced by Kevin Costner, and the "special features" on the DVD gave me new respect for the movie making craft.

"Gladiator" and "Rob Roy" are two I've seen over and over.

Good movies take a tremendous amount of work. Even crumby ones take a lot of work.

I visited "The Dukes of Hazzard" set with my daughter and met the stars, make-up specialists, and other workers. There must have been 100 people in the sound stage just for taking process shots (where they are driving around in General Lee, for example). Even though there were almost no lines, the shots required everybody to be there. At any one time two or three of them were working their butts off and the rest were just standing around waiting for their part to do.
