Kevin Costner poll!

I realized after watching Field of Dreams that I've only seen a couple of Kevin Costner's movies! Help me choose a movie to watch next!

Comments

The postman!

Pedro Lopez

Bull Durham is terrific and one of Costner's most natural and winning performances. It's also one of the best written comedies and has one of Susan Sarandon's very best roles.

sarCC

+1 each for "Thirteen Days" and "The Highwaymen"

JAKH

These are all good! Bull Durham (IMHO) is the best sports movie of all time and was written by former minor league player Ron Shelton. He and Costner also collaborated on Tin Cup, a great little movie about a down-and-out golf pro which is loads of fun, and (again IMHO) the only positive argument for the existence of the game. I also second The Postman, and admit that I can't watch the brilliant Thirteen Days without breaking into tears at the end.

james repka

Kevin Costner is exactly 30 years older than me. We share the same birthday.

Dave M.

OMG I forgot about 'Mr. Brooks' (2007) !! And 'Waterworld' (1995) The Postman (1997) Criminal (2016) Thirteen Days (2000) - Is a great Cold War Cuban Missile crisis history starting point The Highwaymen (2019)

AniLunchbox

I second Waterworld (1995). #WaterworldForAddieCounts

Alex Tan

...and Waterworld has a live show at Universal Studios Hollywood.

Alex Tan

Untouchables is top notch. No Way Out isn’t on the list but it’s also great.

Sean

While true, they have also become cult classics

Gremlin8723

a.k.a. 2 of the most notorious flops of the '90s... 🀐

Byrd N. Hand

"Mr. Brooks" (2008) "A Perfect World" (1993) directed by Clint Eastwood

JAKH

a.k.a. 2 of the most notorious flops of the '90s... 🀐

Byrd N. Hand

That's one of those movies I've started a bunch of times but never finished it for one reason or another.

Philip Davetas

I believe its far superior to the untouchables and i believe addie will enjoy it way more tbh

justin swan

im gonna asume youve never watch Dances with Wolves ;)

justin swan

Definitely the Untouchables, but um... Waterworld.

MrAustincummings

I second The Postman!

David Lucas

Dances and then the Postman before we riot

Casey Ryback

Actually I just checked and the long version is 3 hours maybe a little bit longer you would be missing out if you don't watch this movie

Bobby Cowart

Gotta be THE UNTOUCHABLES.

Philip Davetas

So many good ones.

Patrick Anderson

Well honestly I got it on the Roku Channel with my fire stick and I got it on DVD it's the only version I watch

Bobby Cowart

My choices out of the listed provided: THE UNTOUCHABLES, DANCES WITH WOLVES, OPEN RANGE & BULL DURHAM... any one of those 4 is a good watch... Best one out of all of them is the one Costner won Best Director for ... Dances With Wolves.

Alexander George

The Poastman was always one of my favs, and Waterworld.

Jayson Phillips

The theatrical cut is the only version available on Prime Video.

Alex Tan

(URGENT TO ADDIE) Since Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991) is third in this poll, I HIGHLY recommend the Extended Cut of that movie.

Alex Tan

The Untouchables is my favorite on this list, I also like Bull Durham quite a bit. πŸ™‚ Of the Costner films not on the list, I’d probably add in No Way Out and Mr. Brooks. (Mr Brooks is particularly unusual because Costner plays an anti-hero in it which is kind of an interesting change of pace for him!)

Doug

Honestly though I think you need to watch Dances with Wolves even if it don't win the pole you don't have to even share your reaction it's a very good movie but like I said make sure it's a long version you'll be missing out if you don't see it

Bobby Cowart

Id like to give a shout out to JFK as well , he did a hell of a performance there

Rey

Really no need for the director's cut for DWW. It kills the pacing of an already slow-paced movie and Coster himself has said that the three hour theatrical version is the one he would prefer people to see.

Jeff I.

Honestly, between Untouchables, Robin Hood and Dances with Wolves, you’re not going to lose out. Bodyguard is really good too. One movie not on the list that I really love, but caution that it’s a hard watch is JFK. Maybe in November.

Matthew Periolat

The Bodyguard has "I will Always Love You," a cover of a Dolly Parton song, by Whitney Houston. Dolly lover her version. It will tear your heart out.

Jay Perry

It'll be over 2 hours

Bobby Cowart

Definitely Dances With Wolves very very good movie one of my favorites make sure if you do get it get the director's cut because they cut a lot out

Bobby Cowart

A Perfect World (1993) is one of my fav's. I think Addie would enjoy it.

Josh McHugh

Dances with Wolves and Open Range would be my top picks

Robert da Spruce

'Field Of Dreams' is one my least favorite movies, that's stating it mildly. All these other movies have so much more to offer.

LaserLamb

Hear, hear. #WaterworldForAddieCounts

Alex Tan

No Way Out (1987) needs to be on another poll!

Thomas Wetherell

Recommending 'Draft Day' is a 2014 Costner film about the manager of an American Football team trying to turn the team around. I'd refer to it as the Moneyball or even Field of Dreams of football films. It's not about the players on the field, it's about the people in the offices who do everything they can to allow those players to concentrate on the game.

AniLunchbox

Tin Cup would’ve been in my top 5

JaxonDanger12

Better Call Saul! Jk iykyk πŸ˜‚

Chris Shine

Looks like The Untouchables may narrowly win. Kind of a shame, since I think Dances with Wolves is a much better movie overall. I found Costner's acting in Untouchables to be really bad.

Jeff I.

Yep. A Kevin Costner poll without Waterworld is a crime. πŸ˜‹

Bran Flakes

Waterworld or The Postman are my recommendations

Gremlin8723

There isn't a single bad choice in this list

The Dingo

The Postman gets a bunch of hate, and it does have a high cheese factor, but it is a personal Costner favorite of mine.

Luis Fernandez

"No Way Out" is a very underrated political thriller, Addie. Please consider that one too.

adam weisler

Other Kevin Costner movies for future polls that I'll recommend are Silverado (1985), Revenge (1990), Waterworld (1995), Tin Cup (1996), The Postman (1997) and Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1 (2024). #MoreKevinCostnerForAddieCounts

Alex Tan

Ollie wants to "Dances with Wolves" (1990)

Randolph Tirazona

I love Robin Hood, it’s a really great version of the story. I saw it twice in the theater when it came out back in the day, so I do have a lot of nostalgia that comes with it. Plus I love the Bryan Adams song that came out just for the movie lol The Untouchables is also really great, so I’m hoping one of the two will win this.

FWPJR.

Tin Cup... but it wasn't an option

My-Coal

Happy Tuesday, Addie! 😊 This is a great, yet tough poll to vote in since all of these are my favorite Kevin Costner movies. You're making this difficult for me. LOL! I ended up voting for "The Bodyguard" followed by "The Untouchables". Have a great day today!

Randee Carreno

Needs "Silverado" and "No Way Out." Maybe also "The Big Chill," even though only Costner's hands and forehead are actually seen in it (his main scene was cut from the final film).

Byrd N. Hand

The Postman is a great movie too

Endling_king

Happy Tuesday, Addie. All are great choices but since Dances with Wolves (1990) & The Untouchables (1987) are leading this poll, I'll go along with them.

Alex Tan

Dances has always been one of my 5 favorite movies
