Clint Eastwood's 1992 -Unforgiven



Gene Hackman plays the corrupt Sheriff, with Clint Eastwood and Morgan Freeman being retired hired guns who had settled down to farming, but come out of retirement to execute justice (and get paid to do so).

Many sub-plots/themes in this one.

Won 4 Oscars, including Best Picture, and Clint Eastwood won for being the producer (even though he was also the lead actor.)
 

Absolutely remarkable story of a guy who became a Navy Seal, Doctor and Astronaut. On top of that, there's a really crazy story about his youth. I can't recommend this highly enough. I also want to mention that I'm not a "military type of guy" at all (the podcast is hosted by a former Navy Seal named Jocko Willink) and I'm generally anti-war (other than in true self-defense situations) but I still think one can find inspiration in hearing these stories.

The interview is around 4 1/2 hours but listen to the first 30 minutes or so and I think there's a good chance you'll be hooked. (I listened over the course of 3 days). Note that I initially skipped the intro and went right to the interview, which starts at 7m 30s. After I got done listening to the interview I went back to listen to the intro ("The Letter").

I recommend watching it (not just listening) to see the seriousness, focus, and humility of Jonny Kim.
