    The Credits quiz

    The spectacular Silverado ensemble cast is revealed:

    Here’s an alphabetical listing of opening Silverado Credits and Billing:

    Rosanna Arquette
    John Cleese
    Kevin Costner
    Brian Dennehy
    Scott Glenn
    Danny Glover
    Jeff Goldblum
    Linda Hunt
    Lawrence Kasdan
    Kevin Kline
    Question/Quiz: 

    The Quiz question is:
    Without looking below, what order would you Bill the above Actors in the opening Silverado Screen Credits?
    I ask this question because the Billing order is very often not what you’d figure it would be.
    Try this quiz and you’ll see.


    To me the order of Billing is always interesting.
    Who gets Top Bill? – and the succeeding order.
    It’s often not what you would think it would be.

    A Critical Showdown

    Because of it’s eminent re-watchability
    I place Silverado a Western Classic.
    That’s how I judge these things.
    Time usually tells the story.

    Other opinions:

    IMDB: “7.2” Not bad.

    I’m a big fan of Rotten Tomatoes Reviews
    because they also show the ‘Audience Score’
    who aren’t encumbered by intellect.
    They just know what they like.

    MetaCritic: “64” out of 100.
    Audience: “8” out of 10.
    The audience got it.

    ALLMOVIE: “4.5” out of 5.
    Right.

    Too bad Hollywood doesn’t make more westerns.

      All us Western fans feel that way too. There are a number of ‘small Westerns’ made every year. We call them ‘B Westerns’ so they really don’t get much play or publicity. Often the production qualities are not high and don’t have Big Name Movie Stars. But doesn’t always mean they are lousy. Some are very good and enjoyable to watch. Those guys should get some applause for what they do and for showing their Love for the genre. I hope they are being rewarded somehow.
