This is why I go to film festivals

Under discussion:

800 Bullets  (2002)

I saw 800 Bullets a couple years ago at the Philadelphia International Film Festival. It was one of those movies that you will either see at a festival or have to seek out on Netflix.

The movie is about these out of work actors who had all been stuntmen on the Clint Eastwood spaghetti Westerns of the 60s and 70s. (A Fistful of Dollars (1964)  The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966)) When the movies stopped filming there, they all lost their careers. They are now left with entertaing ever dwindling numbers of tourists to see them re-enact their old scenes.

When they discover that an out of town business is buying the property to turn it into a family amusment park; they decide that this is one injustice too many. Tey buy all the bullets they can afford (800) to hold off the police and save their homes and careers.

This movie is funny and touching. Seek it out
