in 1985, a mini-revival of sorts took place for the Western. Eastwood returned to the genre with his PALE RIDER, while writer-director Lawrence Kasdan, riding high off the success of BODY HEAT and THE BIG CHILL (not to mention his work on the screenplays for THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, RETURN OF THE JEDI & RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK), made his own western epic. Very much in the mold of golden age, John Ford-era westerns, SILVERADO took the fun-loving, high adventure vibe Kasdan brought to his Lucasfilm classics, and adapted it to the genre, making a throughly entertaining oater that should have been a hit. Instead, it did very modest business, grossing $32 million on a $23 million budget - not a disaster, but not a hit either - unfortunately opening the same weekend as BACK TO THE FUTURE. Nowadays, it’s best remembered as Kevin Costner’s first big role.

In this week's Best Movie You Never Saw, we dig into this often overlooked western classic starring Kevin Kline, Scott Glenn, Danny Glover, Scott Glenn and so many more.
