    I was young for this one when it came out in 2004.

    Having just watched it now, 20 years (!) after it came out, I can say it's aged like fine wine.

    Excellent, excellent movie.

    The Outlaw Josey Wales

    ★★★★

    America, 1899. The end of the Wild West era has begun. After a robbery goes badly wrong in the western town of Blackwater, Arthur Morgan and the Van der Linde gang are forced to flee. With federal agents and the best bounty hunters in the nation massing on their heels, the gang must rob, steal and fight their way across the rugged heartland of America in order to survive.

    What is one life, caught up in intergalactic war, worth?

    No more than a grain a sand.

    And the powerful hate sand, as our bumbling lizard man protagonist comes to learn.

    Criticized at the time of release for being silly, and tone deaf, Phantom Menace has aged like fine wine.

    Jar Jar' antics serve as a Kafkaesque foil. What, the Phantom Menace asks, can we do in the face of great evil except bumble through.

    Perhaps my all time favorite movie. Deeply moving in its humanity and sense of life.
