Thunderheart

Thunderheart (1992) more movies like this

directed by Michael Apted
featuring Val Kilmer, Graham Greene, Sam Shepard, Sheila Tousey, Fred Ward, John Trudell, Chief Ted Thin Elk, Fred Dalton Thompson

Actor Robert De Niro started a production company to make films just like this one: stories which were unpopular with the establishment and which are unlikely to make a big splash at the box-office. Even so, this is a first-class production, and the filmmakers were the first to receive permission to film on the Pine Ridge (Sioux) Reservation in ...

Tremors

Tremors (1990) more movies like this

directed by Ron Underwood
featuring Kevin Bacon, Fred Ward, Finn Carter, Michael Gross, Reba McEntire

Tremors is actually two movies in one. On its own terms, it's an enjoyable modern sci-fi horror-thriller, with good pacing and a sense of humor; but it's also a loving tribute to such 1950s low-budget desert-based sci-fi-horror films like Them!, It Came From Outer Space, Tarantula, and The Monolith Monsters. Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward are the stars ...
