Barbarosa (1982)
One of the best films no one ever saw.
This obscure Western was one of my favorite movies as a kid. It was a box office sleeper, but with the advent of HBO, it achieved a cult following - at one point it was the most-requested movie on HBO. While this must mean that a large number of people watched the movie, everyone I know who has seen it saw it on my TV.
Willie Nelson, not someone I think of as an actor, is excellent. Gary Busey, in the height of his coke-head days, turns in another wonderful performance. Truth be told, all of the actors are perfect. The story is different, as the previous reviewer pointed out, from all the other Westerns, and the cinematography is unbelievable.
Definitely a movie to rent or buy.
The Scarlet Pimpernel (1982)
Excellent
This movie is a great old story, acted by an incredible cast, and produced with total period believability. I love it, and my family all love it.
The three lead actors/actresses are superb, and the dual nature of Sir Percy's character is handled masterfully.
