Kevin Costner poll!
🕑 Added 2025-02-25 17:00:08 +0000 UTCI 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!

The postman!

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.
JAKH
+1 each for "Thirteen Days" and "The Highwaymen"
james repka
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.

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

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)
Alex Tan
I second Waterworld (1995). #WaterworldForAddieCounts

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

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

While true, they have also become cult classics
Byrd N. Hand
a.k.a. 2 of the most notorious flops of the '90s... 🤐
JAKH
"Mr. Brooks" (2008) "A Perfect World" (1993) directed by Clint Eastwood

a.k.a. 2 of the most notorious flops of the '90s... 🤐
Philip Davetas
That's one of those movies I've started a bunch of times but never finished it for one reason or another.
justin swan
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 ;)
MrAustincummings
Definitely the Untouchables, but um... Waterworld.
David Lucas
I second The Postman!
Casey Ryback
Dances and then the Postman before we riot
Bobby Cowart
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
Philip Davetas
Gotta be THE UNTOUCHABLES.
Patrick Anderson
So many good ones.
Bobby Cowart
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
Alexander George
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.
Jayson Phillips
The Poastman was always one of my favs, and Waterworld.
Alex Tan
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.
Doug
The Untouchables is my favorite on this list, I also like Bull Durham quite a bit. 🙂 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!)
Bobby Cowart
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
Rey
Id like to give a shout out to JFK as well , he did a hell of a performance there
Jeff I.
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.
Matthew Periolat
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.
Jay Perry
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.
Bobby Cowart
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
Josh McHugh
A Perfect World (1993) is one of my fav's. I think Addie would enjoy it.
Robert da Spruce
Dances with Wolves and Open Range would be my top picks
LaserLamb
'Field Of Dreams' is one my least favorite movies, that's stating it mildly. All these other movies have so much more to offer.
Alex Tan
Hear, hear. #WaterworldForAddieCounts
Thomas Wetherell
No Way Out (1987) needs to be on another poll!
AniLunchbox
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.
JaxonDanger12
Tin Cup would’ve been in my top 5
Chris Shine
Better Call Saul! Jk iykyk 😂
Jeff I.
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.
Bran Flakes
Yep. A Kevin Costner poll without Waterworld is a crime. 😋
Gremlin8723
Waterworld or The Postman are my recommendations
The Dingo
There isn't a single bad choice in this list
Luis Fernandez
The Postman gets a bunch of hate, and it does have a high cheese factor, but it is a personal Costner favorite of mine.
adam weisler
"No Way Out" is a very underrated political thriller, Addie. Please consider that one too.
Alex Tan
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
Randolph Tirazona
Ollie wants to "Dances with Wolves" (1990)
FWPJR.
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.
My-Coal
Tin Cup... but it wasn't an option
Randee Carreno
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!
Byrd N. Hand
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).
Endling_king
The Postman is a great movie too
Alex Tan
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.
Mark Dahlen
Dances has always been one of my 5 favorite movies
