Can Kurt Russell still headline a movie?

Posted by Mop (222 lbs) (aka rburriel) Jul 28 '10, 08:46

I remember when he got an absurd payday for Stargate and I was left scratching my head. I thought he was washed up by then. It totally revitalized his career, though.

I think he could, but it'd have to be the right type of film. -- nm - TWuG Jul 28, 09:02

        one the things that's remarkable about it is that it's not even the climax of the movie. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 28, 09:01 3
        
        One of the most impressive accomplishments in that movie is how important the bus is. - David Jul 28, 09:04 1
        
        I hadn't really thought that all the way through. Very cool. - Mel Profit Jul 28, 09:07

        That the Tiny Dancer scene? - Will Hunting Jul 28, 09:01 5
        
        Let's all take 2:25 out of our days to enjoy some bliss. -- (link) - David Jul 28, 09:02 [youtube] 4
        
        What does Holding Tony Danza closer have to do with this? -- nm - Beaker Jul 28, 09:05
        
        if whatshername wasn't in it that movie would be stellar. -- nm - Remlik Jul 28, 09:04 1
        
        If you're talking about Kate Hudson I'm forcing you to the Alternate ST (we'll call it X-STverse) where the people who rave about the Starship Trooper - Mel Profit Jul 28, 09:09
        
        0:14 to :20 sets it well... -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 28, 09:03
        
        That would certainly get my vote. -- nm - David Jul 28, 08:59
    - It's the Disney feel-good sports franchise thing...The Rookie, Miracle, Invincible..... - Will Hunting Jul 28, 08:52 1
      - It's because I was in Australia at the time - it either came and went in theatres, or didn't get a release -- nm - Roger More Jul 28, 08:54
    - Seriously? -- nm - Mop (222 lbs) Jul 28, 08:52
    - Miracle is a damn near perfect sports movie. -- nm - David Jul 28, 08:52
    - Looks like Sky High earned more than Poseidon too... -- nm - Roger More Jul 28, 08:51 12
      - Sky High is so so good. - Callisto Jul 28, 08:56
      - Hmm, Sky High, Miracle and Vanilla Sky is a very strong 2000s trio. -- nm - David Jul 28, 08:52 10
        
        I never saw it, so I'll just say this...calling Vanilla Sky a Kurt Russell movie is a huh? - Will Hunting Jul 28, 08:54 9
        
        He's actually very important to the plot, especially the end reveal. -- nm - David Jul 28, 08:55 8
        
        Oh, I'm not saying he's not important to the part, but if we're asking can he headline a movie - Will Hunting Jul 28, 08:56 6
        
        at this stage, the question is, should be be headlining a movie? nm -- nm - groiny Jul 28, 08:59
        
        Oh, I'm not saying he's the lead. If I were, Sky High would be out as well. - David Jul 28, 08:59

        Sky High had him heavily featured too. - Will Hunting Jul 28, 08:59 2
        
        Have you seen Vanilla Sky? He got Oscar buzz for it. -- nm - David Jul 28, 09:06 1
        
        No, I haven't........so I'm totally going off what was in the media - Will Hunting Jul 28, 09:08
        
        I have wiped Vanilla Sky from my mind. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 28, 08:55
depends what movie - chuckles Jul 28, 08:48 1
