Favorite Movie starring Kurt Russell
Another well known 80's "action" star. Which movie of his is your favorite, or that you would consider his "best"?

Escape From L.A. How can you not love surfing down Wilshire Blvd?

I love Kurt Russell and most of his movies, but without a doubt, my vote goes for Used Cars. Rudy Russo is one of the funniest characters of all-time.

Some of us are old enough to think of him as a well known '60s Disney star.

Can't say I particularly like any movie he's been in, so I voted Other, for Overboard.

Big Trouble in Little China. I just watched it the other night on the Fox Movie Channel. It's still a fun silly movie.

This really is one of the hardest questions ever on this site!

But I have said it before, NO-ONE says "goddamit!" like Kurt.

Favorite film would be The Thing, but my favorite character/performance would probably be Snake Plisskin in Escape from New York.

Big Trouble, though The Thing and Tombstone are right there.
