What's that movie called with Nathaniel Archad (sp) and the werewolves and the french or english soldiers? I seen it once and never caught the title. Different from the average ndn film. Besides that my favs are thunderheart, dance me outside, smoke signals and skins.

Speaking of Native movies, why are most Native movies downers? I know we have troubles on the rez, but when is there going to be a Indian Comedy?

Have you SEEN Smoke Signals? This was one of the funniest movies, cause I "got" it. Skins was really intense and a little to on the money for me, but I laughed at so many things in that movie, too. I guess it depends on which eyes you use to watch a Native Movie with. Native humor is soooooo far above frat movies like Porkys and Animal House or the American Pie series.

My very favorite native movie is Skins.....'cause.

"No maddah how fah! I will find you!"

had to sit through that one, but it was alright.

Still think Little Big Man's the best of all time!

Didn't care too much for the New World, 'cept, Pocahontas was hot! But that was to be expected....Hollywood and what not!

You know I dont see anyone mentioning the Hillerman movies that came on PBS. They had a great cast of characters, and were pretty good mysteries as well.

Once Were Warriors.

Yes it was shot in New Zealand, and it's about the Maori. But many skins I've talked to about it, didn't even know it wasn't a US flick. It's gritty and beautiful and violent and in my purely subjective opinion it's one of the most honest and real portrayals of our life in any movie contemporary or historical. In fact New Zealand's entire Maori population turned out to see that flick. It made history down there after it's release in 94. It didn't reach North America till 96.

"Rapa Nui" was pretty awesome too. They cast every dark brown person they could find! I saw Mexicans and Pacific Islanders in that flick. The actress that plays the mother in "Once Were Warriors" has a small role in there. It's really an interesting flick. Rapa Nui came out in like 92 or 93. You'll recognize other actors and actresses in it, but there's too many to name here.

That one's a theoretical view of what happened on Easter Island before it's re-discovery in 1722, by Admiral Jacob Roggeveen. For those of you who don't know where Easter Island is, it's located 2350 miles west of Chile`.

I also really loved Robbie Robertsons special for PBS called "Making a Noise". That film was friggn awesom!

For those of you who don't know who Robbie Robertson.. He used to be a a group from Canada called Ronnie Hawk and the Hawks. Then left to join rock folk group known as the Band. And he accompanied Dylan on guitar back in the day. Before going solo.

Robbie Robertson is a member of the Mohawk Nation and is from the Six Nations Canada Reserve
