Johnny Handsome -- Born with a horribly disfigured face, and unable to become part of 'normal'society, John Sedley turns to a life of crime. But his two fellow gang members trick him and Johnny is sent to prison. There he meets a plastic surgeon who takes sympathy on him and surgically transforms him into a new man. Now unrecognizable to those who once new him, the once ugly duckling plots a vicious revenge.

Cowboys -- Madrid, New Mexico, 1959. Monte, 8, and Leroy, 8 1/2, brush with life and death when their dream of being real cowboys comes true. The boys are double crossed by a cowboy, run from the sheriff, are accountable for the death of a rabbit, and are rescued by an Indian. 'Sometimes ya gotta do things yer Ma says ya can't.'

George C. Scott stars as a sleazy, drunken roustabout who has no scruples, ambitions, or decency. Faye Dunaway co-stars as a mean-spirited lady who owns a small piece of land which features a towering hill upon which she has constructed a derrick to wildcat for oil. Dunaway grudgingly accepts Scott's assistance in helping her fend off the land-grabbing Jack Palance.

This saga of the wagon-train journey of a group of Western pioneers from Independence, Missouri, to Oregon along the historic Oregon Trail (from the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by A.B. Guthrie, Jr.) is known for its breathtaking photography of the Western expanse (by William H. Clothier). Kirk Douglas portrays a widowed senator who leads the wagon train, and Robert Mitchum plays the troubled trail scout--a man plagued by poor eyesight. The trials of the trail include Indian attacks and the inevitable human conflicts of men and women who are living in close quarters in a volatile, tense and dangerous atmosphere. Among the members of the party: a highly irascible and colorful Richard Widmark, and Sally Field in her first film role.
