Movies starring Barry Corbin

Stir Crazy (1980)

108 mins     Comedy, Crime      

Out of the 4 movies which Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor collaborated on as actors "Stir Crazy" is probably my favourite, delivering an abundance of humour and quick fire banter which manages to make even the most stupid of ga...

Any Which Way You Can (1980)

115 mins     Action , Comedy      

When I reviewed "Every Which Way But Loose" I said that technically it wasn't a very good movie and I still stand by that, I will also stand by when I say that "Any Which Way You Can" is technically not a good movie either. B...

WarGames (1983)

114 mins     Drama, Thriller      

WarGames: Matthew Broderick stars as David Lightman the computer geek who inadvertently almost starts WWIII when he unintentionally hacks into the government's new computer system thinking it is a system belonging to a games ...

Siringo (1995)

90 mins     TV Movie, Western      

"Siringo" is the sort of movie which I imagine a studio bought as part of a bulk deal knowing that it wasn't anything special but they could utilize if they needed something easy to give some people a job to do. That probably...

My Son Is Innocent (1996)

105 mins     Drama, TV Movie      

Here we go again with "My Son Is Innocent" a movie which takes me into familiar territory with the story, based on actual events, of a teenage boy wrongly accused of a crime they didn't commit and a parent's dogged determinat...

Columbo: A Trace of Murder (1997)

98 mins     Crime, Drama, Mystery, TV Movie      

Lieutenant walks in to a crime scene with a brown bag full of bananas. Nope it's not the opening line to a joke but the way in which Lieutenant Columbo makes his entry in "Columbo: A Trace of Murder" and seeing this is a 90s ...

Judgment Day: The Ellie Nesler Story (1999)

90 mins     Drama, Thriller, TV Movie      

"Judgment Day: The Ellie Nesler Story" is in a few ways similar to "A Time to Kill"; we have an initial crime, a court case and then a parent taking matters into their own hands when the legal system fails them and then their...

Monte Walsh (2003)

117 mins     Western      

I have neither read Jack Schaefer's novel on which "Monte Walsh" is based upon or seen the 1970 big screen adaptation and so it's impossible for me to compare, although to be honest comparing a TV movie to a big screen versio...

Hidden Places (2006)

86 mins     Drama, Romance, TV Movie      

If on the off chance you watch "Hidden Places" because you heard it was a depression era drama you are not only going to be disappointed but also depressed. Oh it may be set in that era but this is a romantic drama with no gr...

No Country for Old Men (2007)

122 mins     Crime, Drama, Thriller      

"No Country for Old Men" is exactly what you expect from the Coen brothers, it's different. It's slow, silent, violent yet also surprisingly enthralling, but being different means it's a movie which will divide audiences. The...

In the Valley of Elah (2007)

121 mins     Crime, Drama, Mystery      

War changes men. That is a theme which is not an uncommon one in cinema especially over the last decade as film makers have used the war in Iraq as the basis for their drama. On one hand "In the Valley of Elah" is another one...

Shadow on the Mesa (2013)

The Homesman (2014)

122 mins     Drama, Western      

Whilst I like Tommy Lee Jones as an actor I can't say that I have the same feeling when it comes to his work as a director. Now in fairness before watching "The Homesman" the only other movie which I have watched of his as a ...
