Movie Recom..The Ranger, The Cook and the Hole in the Sky
This is a family movie, set in the year 1919 - Montana wilderness, with a good story about lessons learned by the youngest member (supposed to be 17 years) of a summer forest ranger. Sam Elliott plays a great role as usual, and a young Jerry O'Connell is entertaining as he meets the tests, while learning the importance of honor, trust, and integrity and minding his elders advise.....learning the hard way....good family movie

Great music, as well (clarinet)

Re: Movie Recom..The Ranger, The Cook and the Hole in the Sky
I agree, this is a really a good family movie with the right message. It's by the author of "A River Runs Through It", Norman Maclean, and is about his own experiences.

Another goodun with Sam Elliot is "Once an Eagle" Though not a western, a fine WWII movie.
I have seen all the Sam Elliot Westerns. They are all good.

I bought it a couple of years ago when I saw it on the check out stand at the local grocery store. I found out by accident that it was written by Maclean. It made me look at A River Runs through it differently as well.
