I enjoyed it. Not a top 10 for sure, but you should rent it...especially as an Eagles fan.

Could be wrong, but I always remember it as 'Calgarians with their beefeater faces'.

Agreed, awesome movie.

So far, only Displaced Flames Fan and myself have included The Assassination Of Jesse James. Has this movie not been widely seen, or does it just not crack many top ten lists?

I have not seen it. I was pretty big movie buff for a long time, but now I don't get to see that many. I stopped really following movies closely around 2006. There are so many that I want to see that I never get around to.

I think this might partially be because I date a girl who likes really crappy movies, and she doesn't like good movies that I like; so I'd rather not watch any movies with her than subject myself to the crap she likes.

Certainly on my list. Probably the best movie of its year. (2006?)
