Jeremiah Johnson DVD for $4.99 + free shipping
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.
Love this movie! GIF of approval:

sat through this nightmare a week ago.Still can't get why some people like it... totally pointless movie.
Love this movie,it's one of those that if I'm flicking through the channels and it's on,I watch it again.
@kamikazeken: 'cause it smells like GRIZZ!
@kamikazeken: This movie was actually quite pointful. Maybe you should just stick to Twilight.
@scottc: twilight? I barely managed to sit through the first one of those. That's more along the lines of what my daughters watch.
