The Electric Horseman (1979)

The critics didn't like this movie then and many still don't. It's one of my favorites to watch. Lots of funny scenes and great one-liners.

Robert Redford plays an allegedly washed-up champion rodeo cowboy. Jane Fonda plans a television report with a nose for a story. Willie Nelson, in his film debut, plays the best friend and "handler" of Redford's character.

If you like country music or western humor, this might be a fun movie for you to watch. If you like the idea of the little guy really "sticking it" to the big guy, you will most likely enjoy this one. If you like horses or cowboys or both, chances are this movie will register with you.

Redford did all of his own riding scenes for this movie and owned the horse for several years after the movie was completed.

Watch this movie with someone who does not believe horses belong on stage with dancing girls.
