Kurt Russell is G.R.E.A.T! He has done such classic films, even if some of them aren't the best, retrospectively, they still mean a lot! From playing Elvis in the John Carpenter Biopic -- well, at least it got them teamed up! and it's not actually so bad @:) -- to other Carpenter collaborations; The Thing, Escape From New York (and its ... sequel), Big Trouble in Little China, to classic late 80s fare, Tequila Sunrise, Overboard, and Tango & Cash! And Breakdown was pretty nifty, too! :D
So, let's give it up for Kurt Russell!

I have seen few of his films... I am even yet to see "Escape from New York"... I need to watch that one. My parents even have it on VHS.

I like to pretend that Kurt Russell's character in The Thing got rescued and became The Dude in The Big Lebowski.

Wow. I read the name of this thread and was thinking "Bah, Kurt Russel doesn't deserve appreciation...." but now, after reading said films, I've become a believer. Big Trouble in Little China, Captain Ron, The Thing. Did you know he was the voice of Elvis in Forrest Gump?
Thank you, Kurt Russel Appreciation Thread, for making me realize just how much I appreciate Kurt Russel.

Kurt Russell wins on all fronts if only for his role of Snake Plissken.

That's so sad and beautiful it makes me want to cry.

You guys are all forgetting about Tango and Cash! When they get that huge death machine truck late in the film, it's pretty riveting.

Big Trouble in Little China was a great movie. The guys who made Mortal Kombat totally jocked that movie's steez.

I like how he acted alongside Elvis in, "It Happened At The World's Fair", to acting AS Elvis only 16 years later -- that's what I call Method Acting!!

I haven't seen this, but Stephanie assured me it was good ... probably means it's rubbish, I'm sure -- but, ah, Goldie Hawn isn't that bad looking, eh?!

"The thing" is ridiculous! They couldn't even get a real norwegian to say the norwegian stuff! Sounds like they got a russian or something!
