BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN (2005) dir. Ang Lee
Brokeback Mountain is a story about a couple of beer swilling blokes who live life in the saddle. A ranch hand and a rodeo cowboy - what more do you want?
Sit back in awe at how much of an absolute legend you COULD HAVE BEEN if you were born on a moonlit prairie and your first gift on your fifth birthday was a bottle of whisky and a six-shooter.
Those were the days, just living life on the range, jerky for breakfast lunch and dinner. Everyone needs a friendship like these two are lucky enough to have …get a room guys, am I right?
I missed about 45 minutes of this one about half-way through because I was so inspired by their ladish’ness I popped out to buy a pack of beer - but I bet I know what they were up to, probably kissing loads of babes, getting drunk, hunting, bar fights! Love it.
The culture of lad is alive and well in this tour de force cowboy adventure.
So hop on your horse (streaming service) and get hold of this movie sharpish! Pack the Mrs off to the spa for the day, get the boys around, fire up a pot of chili, sit back and soak it up.
