CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Jeremiah Johnson (Robert Redford) meets a fur-trapper, Bear Claw (Will Geer), who asks him if he can skin a grizzly bear.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Years before Kevin Costner danced with wolves, Robert Redford headed to the mountains to escape civilization in Sydney Pollack's wilderness western. Around 1850, ex-soldier Johnson (Redford) decides that he would rather live alone as a mountain man in Colorado than deal with society's constraints. After a series of setbacks, he meets grizzled mountain veteran Bear Claws (Will Geer), who teaches him how to survive. Jeremiah strives to live as peaceably as possible in the rugged environment, trading with the native Crow tribe, adopting a boy (Josh Albee) after his family is massacred, and even marrying the daughter (Delle Bolton) of a Flathead chief in order to avoid confrontation. He settles into a mountain home with his family, but the U.S. cavalry, complete with a puritanical Reverend, interrupt the idyll to compel Jeremiah to lead them over the mountains and through a Crow burial ground to rescue white settlers. After the Crow kill his family in retaliation, Jeremiah's frenzied moment of payback precipitates a long-running vendetta, turning him into a legendary Indian killer at the expense of his original ideals, on the way to a final moment of grace. Spectacularly shot on location in Utah, the film captures both the appeal and the challenge of the landscape that Jeremiah chooses over civilization. With an unglamorous performance by Redford and a story that questioned white colonialism while mythologizing the man of nature, Jeremiah Johnson appealed to its 1972 audience and became one of the biggest hits of the year. Wavering between heroicizing Jeremiah for surviving and damning him for killing, Jeremiah Johnson took its place among the Vietnam-era cycle of critical westerns, like Arthur Penn's Little Big Man (1970) and Robert Altman's McCabe and Mrs. Miller (1971), that condemned civilization for corrupting the wilderness and preventing individuals from going pacifistically native.

It’s too bad they didn’t make more Westerns in this mountainous/woodland setting. The dusty desert town setting got overused horrendously.
Agreed, there's even a bunch of good stories and material from the actual mountain men to make movies about. Don't know why Hollywood never really took advantage of the Mountain Man theme, even back during the "Buckskin" movement in the 70's.
@@willrowell3218 I bet it was due to how easy it is to make a ‘Desert’ western as opposed to a ‘Mountain Man’ western. It’s easy to make a dusty town out of props in a studio and then drive out to Arizona to do the location bits, but ‘Mountain Man’ movies can only be filmed in the mountains and forests in difficult filming conditions. Since Westerns were so popular in their day they were probably more focused on quantity than quality.
@@spoopy9689 True, there was "North to Alaska" with The Duke, and "The Call Of The Wild" with Charlton Heston was kind of a western. I can't think of any more at the moment. TBH, I think there were more "Australian Westerns" made then Alaska Westerns.
I read a pretty interesting review of this film (I forget who wrote it) not too long ago. The author said that this is one of the few Westerns in which "the West" is actually a character in the film rather than just a backdrop.
Check out The Assasination of Jesse James if you haven’t already. A lot of it was filmed in Canada but the story is set in Missouri/Kansas. It’s my favorite western of all time.
One of the finest,most underated movies of the 70's a masterpiece
People would be nuts to think this movie is under rated
@FlappableBean Thank you, now leave the basement and make your parents proud.
So tired of this kind of comment. You are not the first to call this movie a masterpiece. Have you ever read a review of this film? It has been recognized countless times since it's release.
@Time Code agreed or one that had such a spare script.
Na. Those that knew, knew. The that didn't don't matter.
Jeremiah Johnson is one of the greatest movies ever made. A legendary film.
Movie films ever made *

GOAT!!!
Named my son Jeremiah because of this movie
The early days of
Fast Food
And
Home Delivery
HAAA HAAA HAA.. Roger that !
Gotta survive the delivery though!
@@Arelak they didn't say who was the food 😉
Little known fact: Bear Claw Chris Lapp invented Door Dash.
Funny, reading the comments, it seems many of us first saw this movie with our dads. What a great movie! Thank you Sidney Pollack and Robert Redford.
Grandpa Walton made the best mountain man ever. Rest in peace Will Geer!
Yep, you're right about that!
Yes exactly my dad has passed away some ten years now but this scene still makes me smile his favorite saying was skin that one pilgrim and I'll get u another
@@monkey98981
Was Will your father?
@@waynewintermute3869 no
Note to self: if asked, never claim to be able to skin Grizz.
@Rusty Climber Naughty man! (and it's only fuzz.. NOT Grizz, thank you very much! lol) :-) That's pretty funny lol. True..I don't believe I want to go tangle with Grizz like Robert Redford had to..I believe I will avoid that. Have a good day, thanks for the laugh lol
Don't know what you can do until you Have to🤠
@@john2sioch299 true story lol
Yes I lived the real reality TV. Off Appalachian trail and 6months Denali paddled Yukon fishing salmon Fighting Griz🤠💪
@@john2sioch299 Sounds awesome :-) Yeah, Grizz likes fish..I bet you really had to watch your 6 lol!
We were high school kids growing up when Jeremiah Johnson came out. It was one of our 2 favorite movies. The other one was Vanishing Point. After high school, I moved to Yosemite, driving my Dodge Challenger, and worked there for years until I moved to Tahoe and lived there for another couple of decades. I spent a lot of my spare time out in the mountains and learned this wisdom: The richest man is not the man that has the most, it's the man that needs the least. .
Wow Cleavon Little is in Vanishing Point. Great suggestion. I'll check that one out.
Badass. I too am from the mountains, and I too have a vintage Challenger.
Aww thanks for the compliment!
Gave up counting long ago, how many times I’ve watched this adventure film. Been my absolute favorite for 51 years after seeing it in the theaters when it first dropped. Absolute classic Redford and Geer. This was the epiphany that made me realize I was born 150 years too late. Living life on your own terms, relying on your two hands, your intelligence, and your skills. A reasonable amount of luck back then didn’t hurt either. The Mountain Men of the late 1700’s - early 1800’s were the truest of the American free spirits and adventurers.
Ever heard of Simon Kenton? One of the originals. Had so many run-ins with the Indian Tribes, that they actually came to respect him. I first read about him in Alan W Eckhart's, A Sorrow in Our Heart's (The Life of Tecumseh.)
lol, 150 years ago there were no antibiotics, nor any medical care _at all,_ really, so i guarantee you'd have felt differently in that actual time period. "the grass is always greener..." and all dat.
So true. I've done some serious backpacking in my day..........I'm 71 now, in places where you only have to deal with the wildlife.......no people, and I just always wanted to stay indefinitely.
Bear claw is a dead ringer for my papa. Passed away in 97 at age of 84. The way bear claw talks and acts reminds me of him so much. Papa lit up a room or house when he entered. Papa was so full of life and a great person to talk to. I miss him so much.
He was the Grandpa on the Waltons for most of that TV series long run. An iconic character actor.
God bless your papa 🙏🏻
We need more people like Papa
He reminds me of my grandpa too
He's still lives on in you :)
Growing up i was raised by my grandparents and they where bookworms by heart in the 5th grade i was given a novel about davy crockett by my grandad and always drew pictures and imagined myself living on the frontier, anyways on my grandparents wedding anniversary they would always blindfold each other and pick random movie ticket they have collected over the years in a box and i would go and get the vhs tape on the movie shelf in the living room and watch it together, this came up and i was immediately hooked on the film, now everytime i get the chance to watch this movie i always have flashbacks of me with my mountain man costume roaming the woods near the backyard with my bb rifle and dog sparky ❤ i would always love my grandparents for giving me the best childhood memories
That's a real nice story. Thanks for sharing that.
thank you for telling us that story. I can really feel the sincerity in your story.
Great memories. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing. Brought a tear to my eye. Made me think of how much I miss my grandparents. We have similar memories. Was yours a Daisy lever action?
Gotta say I'm jealous, never having known my grandparents, and having mean sob's for parents. But hey, such is life. Thanks for the story, I feel better.
I love the way Bear Claw keeps freaking Jeremiah out by carelessly waving his rifle around. Jeremiah is a trained war veteran, whereas Lapp is a wild mountain man with no regard for firearm safety. Nice little touch showing their difference of character.
Yep seen that
Wonderful movie
That wasn’t a costume either. Will Geer was big in the black powder community and he used his own accoutrements. He did an excellent job portraying Chris Lapp.
As you get older it becomes much clearer that Bear Claw was giving JJ a valuable education... that he only partly took with him. Had he appreciated what the true lesson was, his life would have been very different... but hunger does things to people... and I'm not talking about food.
Dragging the bear into the hut was tactical too - you don't have much to do up there, but it's cold, and carrying a bear 3 miles takes a long god damned time. Easier to bait it into the cabin, kill it there. If it mauls you to death, so be it, at least you won't have to be cold that night. There's a reason he wore bear claws and was hunting in hides - harder to rip through if it nips you in the butt. Fooling with bears is all you have out there to bide the time as madness sets in.
You can't be smart everyday, you get too tired of it. Eventually you always do something crazy. You can be crazy everyday though and you'll never get tired of it - better to just get good at it. You don't live up in the mountains because you care about other people - you go so you don't have to care about anyone, including yourself.
Waving the gun around told Bear Claw that JJ was a soldier, but also that he was beholden to idiots. It meant he was used to untrustworthy firearms , untrustworthy or malicious fingers. It told Jeremiah that Bear Claw has got no issue aiming down a rifle at him... and killing him accidentally would be no big deal to him. This was as educational to JJ as it was informative to Bear Claw.
When Jeremiah walks down the Crow later, he carries both guns out at the ready, a third at his hip. They let him aim it right at them and he killed 2 of them before they even started to resist. Why would savage men just let themselves be walked up and killed? Because they were willing to hide behind civility. Deep down they were not only cowards - but the creation of civilization, parasites living on it. When their time came they couldn't imagine being attacked so bravely by a wild man of principle. They let him aim before they even tried to move. JJ knew this would happen because once, when it happened to him, when he was living much the same way - he didn't care about his life either. For someone wanting to live free, he sure was ready to live under someone else's gun.
Bear Claw made his intentions plain but Jeremiah was likely far more surprised at his own intentions being so middling.
"You can't be afraid of killing a man in your territory, and in turn if you want to live - you can't let someone aim you down like this". "I've been hearing you for days, smelling you for 3.. you're leaving trails and not looking behind you". He would use these skills later to catch the Crow's. Simple lessons taught by a madman.
What Bear Claw told Jeremiah that day by waving a gun in his face, "You aren't afraid of death, but you're afraid of stupidity, and you believe too heavily in manners and giving people the benefit of the doubt. Those are city rules. Look. I can wave this in your face - you don't even duck" .
Bear Claw is JJ's future. He tried to warn him to keep his guard up - not just protecting what he cares about, but showing him clearly what he doesn't care about. Didn't care about dying, didn't care about being gunned down for being in someone else's territory enough to draw when the gun was in his face.
I'm sure Jeremiah wondered to himself why stay so disciplined in this moment if I'm going to let him wave a gun in my face? Why did I let him do that? Why did I let him run a bear into me?
Trigger discipline, and in this case muzzle discipline is important. They're great safety tips and they are excellent training everyone should get.
But holy hell there's no safety tips for protecting yourself from a man who truly wants to aim at you. That's the real discipline - the reason you see people not practicing muzzle disciple or trigger discipline is because people want, natively, to kill eachother.
The "civilized" ones will respect these rules.
But the "good" ones you'll never know who they are until it's far too late to protect yourself and your loved ones. Every time he waved that gun in JJ's face he must have thought, "Why did I let him do that? Again? Again?".
Bear Claw is no fool - regardless of his training, he can see how uncomfortable it makes JJ. He does it anyway. It should make him uncomfortable... and he shouldn't get caught making noise, and smelling, so easily that a man could draw a gun down on him.
That's what he was trying to tell him. Out there that civilized ideology, those manners and rules... not just useless, they're coffin nails.
Trigger discipline and Muzzle discipline are important things, they're great lessons... but the best lesson about them is you'll know everything you know about a person when they break those rules... and why. They are almost better when you teach it to someone and they willfully ignore it - because then you know what kind of savage they are. Ignorant, sadistic, or just plain careless --- all the same. You put power in people's hands and they ignore these ideas - you can tell how they'd rule, given the chance.
Bear Claw understood power and was desperately trying to teach it.
To put it another way, he got a lesson in what discipline really means. Part of that is, if you're gonna be a wildman - crazy's a better tool than civility. Later, when they meet again, Bear Claw sits far away from JJ's camp, eats lean, and leaves early. JJ never turns his back on him. Bear Claw by then is struggling, alone, and is becoming depraved and JJ knows it - and as much as that's a terrible thing, he's quite happy to see JJ's gotten wise to that. It's not just safety. It's being "seen". JJ never should have let Bear Claw walk up and wave his gun in his face - but it took JJ learning this lesson the hard way to really become a man of the wild. You can't be romantic up there.
In the end though, they were the same, and that distance and edginess was what he'd tried to teach him here. Their distance in the end is symbolic of respect - not just of each other, but of the environment and situation they were in... and the fact that they truly had abandoned civility for freedom. There's no security here but what you can make for yourself. Only freedom.
He laughed at him here, because he pitied him, because JJ was walking in his footsteps and he was trying to scare him off them. Too bad he was too hungry to hear it. Not for food - but to be free. As his hunger set in his need for security grew - and he retreated to civility with Bear Claw... and that would cause him many problems.
You get older, and you start to see what this really was. You start staring down that madness everyday. Can't just pretend it all just doesn't exist. Gotta feed on it, like anything else, sipping it from a flask to see the world clearer. To know that someone who "accidentally" shoots you will apologize all day long and then smile themselves to sleep that night. The ignorant will remain ignorant of ignorance - calling it an accident so they can sleep. The truly malicious, they'll never smile, but their blood will run satisfyingly cold. Trigger discipline, muzzle discipline - they are the beginning of good self defense, but they're also a warning. Here Bear Claw breaks it to challenge the very principle.
"If you're so afraid of my gun, why are you letting me do this?"
They were the same - just 20 years apart. Not a lot of "new" stories in nature, just walking into old ones.
"You sure you can skin a bear?"
"Just as fast as you can catch them".
... first he waved a gun in his face, then the bear - just to remind him that it's human's that are the danger, stop being so cocky JJ. Great lesson there that JJ only remembered far, far too late.
JJ was in the Navy. Probably didn’t use a firearm. He either was discharged or deserted after he punched a commanding officer.
Oh shut up
It's a movie I can watch thousands of times and it never gets old. Love, Will Geer (especially is outfit and that voice just captivates you) and Robert Redford he just had a way to get into a part that you believed it wasn't overbearing just had that unique quality about him. You believed the character that he was. Matter of fact, I think I'll watch it tonight!
JJ is a masterpiece. One of my go to movies.
Much different from Grandpa Zeb Walton.
Same as Wes McGee ....I was in 8th grade living in Texas at the time and went down to the new theater to watch this alone and it struck a nerve ....since then I wanted to live in the mountains . I finally moved into the sierra mountains at 20 y/o . working as a ski patroller in winters and a carpenter in the summers .....climbing , fishing , skiing and playing my life away .....Im 59 y/o now and still doing it and loving every minute .....

Problem is - You are Broke.
Damn. Good for you man. You painted a real picture in just a few words and it sounds like you made yourself just a fine life.
Who needs money maddie...
I've seen this movie at least a dozen times. The cinematography is as wonderful as the acting. The scenery is breathtaking.
That’s Utah for you.
That old man's laugh brightens my day 😆
I appreciate the way Redford reacts to a barrel in his face. Too many actors wave a firearm around like it's a stick, and too few react the way that people do, and should, when it is pointed at them. In this scene it is a comedic expression of how reckless Bear Claw is, leading into the scene with the bear later. Redford's reaction is what made it so.
One of the all time greatest movies ever made. A classic really. And for moments just like you see at 1:40……one of the greatest movie laughs of all time!
When I was 10 I got the nerve to ask my Dad what those old guns buried in the closet were. I guess he felt I was old enough by then and he told me to get them out. One of them was a Hawken style rifle front stuffer. I was forever hooked on muzzle loading and love long rifles. They were beautiful pieces of craftsmanship and function meant to last a man his lifetime. The Hawken was made for the big game out West like grizzly that required a heavier bullet and caliber, typically in .54 caliber. Wish I knew the origin and history of the one my Dad traded for long ago.
Will Geer was the best character actor of his day.
Yes..The Walton's

Personally - I'm a Jack Elam Fan.
@@murraywestenskow2896 I, too, am a big fan of Jack Elam; he was so funny in the Twilight Zone episode - Will The Real Martian Please Stand Up?
@@murraywestenskow2896 My father-in-law was a big Jack Elam fan--always called him 'Fumy' for some reason. Wish I'd asked him why before he passed.
Saw this movie more than 40 years ago. Bought myself a CVA "Hawkin" Kit and started shooting black powder. Been at it ever since. Good times.

First time I saw this movie I was laughing my head off when that old man was laughing while he was being chased by a grizzly.
" Where you headed ?
Same as you , pilgrim...Hell in the end ."
A line to live by .
This is one of the four of the most influential films for me that I have ever seen. Truly one of the most important ones.
What's the other 3, just curious?
And some folks say, he's up there still.
Jeremiah Johnson made his way into the mountains...
I really love the late Tim McIntire's simple soundtrack for this movie.
Jeremiah Johnson made his way into the mountains
Bettin’ on forgettin’ all the troubles that he knew
The trail was wide and narrow
And the eagle or the sparrow
Showed the path he was to follow as they flew.
A mountain man’s a lonely man
And he leaves a life behind
It ought to have been different, but oftimes you will find,
That the story doesn’t always go that way you had in mind.
Jeremiah’s story was that kind. . .
Jeremiah’s story was that kind.
I watched this with my brother and best friend a few months before he died and we both loved it and both were glued to it it was a classic...this film will always remind me of him RIP Mark O'Kelly
This is one of favorite movies of all time. Probably top 5. I was so captivated from start to finish the first time I watched it. Such an EPIC tale of survival. All he wanted was the peace we all seek and in a way he did find it, but at the same time he found more trouble than ever. Some say he's dead, others say he never will be. Well done
Have you read the book "mountIn man" by Vardis Fisher?? One of the two books this movie was made around.. some differences but if you like this movie... you will love this book also! Cheers!
Will Geer should have won an award for that scene. Seen it a hundred times and still makes me laugh.
One of me and my Dad's favorite movies , along with Little Bigman, Unforgiven and Outlaw Josey Wales
Outlaw josey wales is a great flick......reminds me of my dad everytime i watch it.
Probably the best mountain man movie ever...The Revenant is close...But this takes top billing...Probable watched it 30 plus times over the years..
Saw this movie in the theater when it 1st came out...still love ❤ it now. Of course, Will Gerr is fantastic
That was a long time ago. I saw it in theater too.
Saw this when I was still livin' as a city boy in my 20's. Moved to the mountains.
Moved to Alaska because of seeing that movie as a kid. Been here 4 decades.
Wow 💪💪💪💪💪💪🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Have you seen Star Wars yet?
I wish I would’ve done that instead, I moved to Idaho three decades ago which is a good state but I’ve been to Alaska and it’s a beautiful place and one of the best places for Outdoor activity.
And can you skin grizz?
@@snookslayer4559 Probably a good thing if not. He'd want to move to outer space. 😄
Great movie. Must've watched this movie 40 - 50 times. It stands up well almost 50 years after it's original release.
Grandpa Walton was a BADASS!! Great scene.
Tuna Can - Wonder how many know who Grandpa Walton is! 😁
Tuna Can Turned on my Japanese wife onto The Waltons, last week. She's been binging on that series ever since.
Tuna Can. Will Gear. Great actor. Glad you pointed this out. The Walton's was good television from 71 to 81. It should be run over and over in reruns for each generation.
My Grandmother (God rest her soul) called me every Sunday night and asked if I was watching The Walton’s.” I think she wanted me to grow up to be like John Boy. I didn’t quite make that. I think I turned out more like Grandpa Walton.
@@jh5869 g'night Bruceboi, er uh i mean Kaitlyn *snicker
To this day, my dad and uncle call each other "grizz" when they phone each other, they love Will Geer's acting so much in this movie.
Such a bittersweet film. One of my favorites.
Me as well on the Big Screen back in the Day.
I've watched this movie twenty plus and would watch it again.
One of my favorite movies of all time.
When I was in my 30's I moved to Montana and lived for a while in the Musselshell, used to drive over Crazy Woman Creek, named after the deranged woman made famous in this film.
The Country around the Musselshell doesn't look like this very much, the Musselshell is more beautiful.
Lucky bastard!
“You sure are cocky for a Starvin pilgrim!” I used that line at a bar whenmh buddy who had been on a dry spell had said he could bed any woman in the place 😂😂😂 he didn’t get the reference unfortunately
HA! That's a good one.
I like to tell my compadre when two girls walk in, "Yours looks kind of ugly."
didn't bring him a grizz did ya?
Watch your top knot
@@cooperb8068 watch yourn.
Fantastic movie! Could watch it over and over again. First saw it grade 11drive-in theatre! The scenery of the mountains were unreal. That summer went backpacking Beartooth Mountains of Montana. Super trip👍
Most of this was shot on Redford's property, they said it was so cold 4 of the crew got frostbite and they had trouble getting to horses to go out
This scene supposedly took 4 days to shoot
I was 12 when I saw this, loved it then and love it now. An outdoor cinematic masterpiece. Quiet in its ferocity and loud in its peacefulness.
"For a man to conquer himself is the first and noblest of all victories."

Dude tried to kill him ... right off the bat 🤣
"Can you skin griz pilgrim?" Probably one of the most iconic movie scenes in my opinion.
Hell Yeah.
Mine to. LMFAO. On that line 😂
NOBODY ASK UR. OPINION
Nor yours...……….
+Rowdy Boy Your comment says two possible things about you: You're either funny as hell, the life of the party, etc.
Or, if you were serious, one of the biggest dumbass dickheads I've ever seen.
So. Judging by your choice of computer names, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and place my bet on the later.
"I know who you are! Yer the same dumb pilgrim I been hearin' fer 20 days and smellin' fer three!"
@Long Range Rifle why are you just repeating exactly what he said?
It was one of the best lines in the movie. My favorite was,now boy are you sure you can skin Grizz?
Saw this at the drive-in when it first came out. I was hooked from the start and watch it every time it comes on tv.
Jeremiah Johnson is the only man that chuck Norris treads lightly around
Man my dad watched this all the time. Good stuff man
There are certain films that are enhanced by their lesser cast ( not the lead roles) and this one is no exception. Will Geer and Stefan Gierasch make this movie assuredly as the main star, producer, director and screenplay writer. Films such as The Wild Bunch would be the poorer without Strother Martin, and The Culpepper Cattle Company is probably the best example of a good film with no A list actors, but almost all support cast actors from other films. Never underestimate the contribution made by some of these 'bit part' players. They are usually the ones that make the ' stars ' look as good as they do.
Very well said.
There have been so many great character actors who made what would otherwise be a mediocre movie so much better.
Dub Taylor, Harry Carey Junior, and Pat Buttram were three of the best at this, but of course Strother was matchless.
@@Gunners_Mate_Guns Remember "Hard Times"? Charles Bronson and James Coburn. Strother Martin w/Coburn in the car and SM say's "lets get the cat". Character actors do make movies better. James Garner "Support Your Local Sheriff". The character actors were superb. We could list dozens of great movies with outstanding chracter actors.
Will Geer, lived in my community over the hill and down a canyon near a friend of mine. I was 9 or 10 in the late 50's and went to his house and knocked on his front door. His kindly wife answered and when I asked for Will she said he was gone and out of the state somewhere. I told her I wanted to be an actor and she gave me advice on how to do that. Good speech, diction, be committed and other things. She was very pleasant.
Cool and Will Geer is from Frankfort Indiana. He participated in the Bi-Centennial Parade circa 1976. My father achieved his autograph the local Rotary Club. Dad said he was a little reluctant but signed the program. Great memories growing up and I miss you Mom And Dad.
Those mountain men sure enjoyed their privacy.
He was a good man to feed him and shelter him. He knew he was in trouble.
My favorite scene in the movie. Of course the buried fire was very funny. "Saw it right off pilgrim"
The fire scene was really funny for me personally since while learning to track from a friend who was a retired Border Patrolman part of the scenario was a burned out fire that had been covered with sand. One of my buddies put his hand in the sand and almost burned himself since the fire was from the previous night and started the scenario early the next morning. I said yep, fire was still hot, seen it right off. We had a great laugh over that!
K Derby...."Didn't put enough dirt down.....seen it right off"
And “sure, I’ve got a fine horse underneath me”
"Skin that one, Pilgrim, and I'll get you another!" Classic line! ❤🇺🇸
This explains the grizzly man in the Coens bros true grit
Never been lost, but spent 3 months on the mussel shell mightily confused
The Mountain Men is another great movie too. IMHO not as good as Jeremiah Johnson, but still very good.
The Best movie EVER..
"gotta love "will Geer".
Take me back!
When grit was a sign of passage! you knew it! you felt it! you earned it! and no one was ever going to take it away from you!
You where a man of honor! And respected by other men of the same caliber. GRIT!!
When deadly games of pride were played and living was mistakes not made.
And the thought of the smell of the black powder smoke and the stand in the street at the turn of a joke
Ah, the smell of the black powder smoke and the stand in the street at the turn of a joke.~
One of the best scenes ever filmed. And to think, Redford did his on his own property. Jeremiah lives.
Is this in Idaho? I swear I read that Robert Redford lived in Idaho decades ago.
I quote this movie almost as much as the big Lebowski. “Skin that, pilgrim, and I’ll bring you another.” “Me fine figure of a man, yes? Yes. That is all you need to know.” “What if he see’s our feet? Elk don’t know how many feet horses have!” Love this movie.
Watch your top knot
Same quotes I use too lol!
“Skin that one pilgrim and I’ll get you another one”
Classic acting and good script writing. Made me laugh.
Amen Bro.
Watch your top knot
Saw this movie when it came out at the theater I was about 12 at the time I'm 60 know still my favorite movie EVER. ARE YOU SURE YOU CAN SKIN SOME GRIZ PILGRIM LOLOLO LOVE IT
If you haven’t seen this movie, watch it! Way better than the shot they are making these days
Such a true American classic. I was 13 when this movie came out, some of my friends went to see it together. I miss those days so much, kids hanging out going to the weekend matinees. It cost 50 cents a 10 bottle top caps for us kids. The 70's were so awesome.
my dad took me and my brother to theatre to see this and has always been my favorite movie
Oh my God. I HAVE to watch this movie right now!
Liver Eating Johnson..They Say He Is Still Up There..
Oh yes! That's an absolute must for you. Have some tissues handy!
That old man is my spirit animal thx for posting
Love JJ... Hard to believe this is only a Three minute Clip...! It says Sooo Much!
" Best movie i've ever seen " i don't know why
Yup I got the Hawkin bug and bit bad, after returning back to the States after a tour in Korea. Right at the time if this movie.
My wife bought me a new 54 caliber Hawkin that Christmas. Took my first buck with it. Now several decades later I have killed more than half of my deer with black powder rifles. Just love the nostalgia of the old ways. Been doing rendezvous for over 36 years.
Now recently retired, and moving to the back woods of Georgia. Love the back country and the Southern people.
Me after 1000 hours of rdr2
Will Geer. Bear Claw and Grandpa Walton. 2 fine shows.
Bear Claw is the best character
My dad always quoted this scene when I was growing up. Makes me smile to see it.
Loved Bearclaw ( Will Beer ) a great actor, and a great movie !!.🐻
My favorite movie. And 1 of my favorite scenes of any movie.. Love how keeps waving his gun across his face
I was about 11 when I got home from school one day and it was pouring down with rain I was fed up that I couldn't go out so sat with my older brother who was watching a double feature on the TV it was this followed by the legend of boggy creek, two great movies that I love to this day,
This is one of my favorite movie scenes. Saw this at a drive-in when i was a kid. Drive-ins are outdoor movie theaters where you watch the movie in the comforts of your car. 😀
Yeah still have one about 5 miles away
Sometimes called, the finger bowl
Okay, boomer
@Woody Last Name More like Woody Last *Lame* 😁
@Woody Last Name Nope, Xer here, chief
Best scene out of the whole movie
the way he laughs after jeremiah says i can skin them just as quick as you cna bring them knowing full well what he's about to do
Such a wonderful testament to man's yearning for adventure and to escape the every day trapping of life "down below"...the cinematography alone is breathtaking, and the acting is incredible...one of my top 5 films of all time
Grampa Walton lost his way from Walton’s Mountain!!!
Dad showed me this when I was younger, I've tried to convince him to go to the mountains and live off the grid, sadly it's hard to live free today tax free, the closest movie now to it is The Revenant.
Will Grier. Great actor.
Thank you for this video. This is one of my favorite scenes from this truly great movie.
One of my favorite movies of all time. Might be my #1 pick and I've seen a lot of movies. The Searchers is one that keeps me from picking this one as my official fav. If you haven't seen "The Searchers" than you should. It's great for different reasons than this one, but great nonetheless.

I agree The Searchers .... best ever passionate acting and Brilliant Ford directing authentic humorous racist funny sad frustrating thrilling and more.
This is how I greet my meter reader after 8 months of Covid lockdown
Just as fast as you can find me one....
a few of us love this stuff today.excellent movie. when its gone so to are the legends that created these masterpiece.
What a classic movie.
if most of the employees were like that coot I would go more often to the DMV.
Not just the 70s. If you compare to today’s movies it’s been a long time since one of the caliber has came out.
One movie I can watch over and over. One of Redford 's best.
One of Redford’s underrated films, believe it or not, directed by the same guy who did The Way We Were and Out of Africa with him
He was a very talented director, he also directed a couple of my favorites, Absence of Malice and Three Days of the Condor.
Great Movie 😎🍺🍀
I watched this brilliant film decades ago, but have never forgotten this scene. Always makes me laugh when I think about it.
Grizz would have made short work outta both those guys. So unbelievable.
Every time I watch this movie I feel like I’m out there living the life. Before politicians started telling us where and how to live.
Jon, I was out there living that life Sort of .. . I was a Trapper when I owned my Business, and before that I taught Wilderness & Desert Survival Skills .. .

@@alvinglenn458 that must have been a great life boss
Politicians used to be called lords and kings, and they have always told people where to live. People had to get the kings permission to leave England for America
Amen brother. Sooner or later we'll take back what's ours.
To this day I can't stand that preacher that talked him into cutting through the Indian burial ground that cost him everything.
That was Paul Benedict, who was better known - and friendlier - as "Bentley" on "The Jeffersons"!
He was a jerk in other movies like "Cocktail" and "It Could Happen To You".
I'm still mad at him.
Not quite sure about the ending! I presume the indian chief got him in the end or did they let him live?
I am mad as well.
@@roberthyde5272 I always thought they let him live and saw him as their equal
Old timer thought for 20 days what he was a gonna do when he finally met up with JJ. Good prank, funny as hell !
Saw this at the Highway 41-A Drive-In in Shelbyville Tn. when I was 9 years old. Went with a friend and his family in their station wagon. I'm 59 now and still remember.
