THE OUTLAW JOSEY WALES
Special Features: Intro by Silver Spring-based author, producer and screenwriter George Pelecanos on Aug. 15
After his family is massacred by Union soldiers, a peaceful Missouri farmer (Clint Eastwood, who also directed the film) seeks vengeance by joining a group of Confederate raiders. When he witnesses his comrades’ peaceful surrender and subsequent slaughter, he intervenes and becomes the outlaw Josey Wales, staying one step ahead of the cavalry with a motley crew of companions at his side. Considered by Eastwood himself to be one of the high points of his career, this film is widely regarded as one of the finest Westerns of the era.
