Come on GQ no Waterworld?!?
Anyone who hates that movie is lying to themselves. It’s a cable classic.
I unironically love Waterworld. I know its reputation, but it's just so great
@@QUINTtasticit was cheesy and stupid
I was one lucky kid growing up in the 90's with a 'Waterworld Pinball Machine' in my basement. It was awesome playing that game and never remembering a thing about the actual film!
Classic,they should be ashamed
His run between 1985-1994 is one of the greatest runs ever for an actor, in terms of Quality and box office 👏
Absolutely, unparalleled
Variety too.
Took a ton of chances. And we went for the ride.
His peak was around 1987 to 1991
Yep, in Hollywood.
"We don't have to win in order to be respected." That's an awesome line.
We just have to be true to ourselves ❤
It is indeed an awesome line🙂
@@jamesstewart8263 Absolutely🙂
I immediately paused this and wrote that down
Costner is baseball, apple pie, cowboys, native Americans, history, cultural & political, all of it. He’s a national treasure.
AND country music to boot!!!
He called Robin Hood “American fun” cause it had horses? There is nothing American about Robin Hood, 😂. Does he think only America has horses?
@@panrick 🤣Fortunately nobody's perfect!!
He expands and deepens the understanding of America.
💩
I actually teared up listening to him. He’s so beautifully articulate and deeply passionate about storytelling
The biggest movie of Costner's career and the most expensive movie ever made at the time!
Why has society become so soft? Tearing up about an actor taking pride in his job
He has a ton of wisdom
He approaches storytelling not just for entertainment but as a mission -- for teaching and learning, exploring and evolving, and more. ✨
After watching this, I have new-found respect for Costner, his creative process, and his thoughtfulness.
I love that "no one's ever gonna sing infront of her" so bloody true!
Unless you lived through the late eighties and early nineties, it's difficult to articulate to people how popular Costner was.
Dances With Wolves is truly glorious Cinema at its best. Fantastic story, beautiful characters, epic scenery and a thunderous soundtrack.
Top 5 movies i seen the most in my life with :
Legend of fall
Forest Gump
Showshank redemption
Cyrano de Bergerac
Honorable mention goes to "No Way Out" "A Perfect World" and "Open Range".
Video’s a half hour as it is 😅
and "The War" iykyk
Don’t forget revenge
No way out. 100%
Open Range is the best Western in ever seen.
I watched this in its entirety, no pausing, skipping. Great storyteller with his own POV on things and life. Interesting to listen to him.
Same here. i
Ok, thanks for sharing.
Oh, you mean you didn't get 12 ad breaks of the exact same commercial for this video like I did?
@@jed6780 You mean, 'Tune in this weekend for the Yellowstone marathon, and make sure you watch in Nov when the new season...' blah blah, I got it twice per ad break, they over saturated the ad space lol..
@@sickindahead9226 That's the one, after pretty much every film Costner discussed.
I wish ‘The Guardian’ would have been mentioned in this. That is my personal favorite Costner performance. He absolutely crushed that role
So much chemistry between him and a young Ashton Kutcher!
@@jvnapod young?
Agreed.
Thank you for mentioning The Guardian.
@@baron7755I mean, he was probably 26 or 27 when they shot that movie so yeah I would consider that a young Ashton Kutcher haha
He seems authentic. His thoughts and his voice and his demeanor. Authentic.
I agree🙂
Well...he is an actor. So, maybe he's just acting authenticity 😅
He is an actor mate.
As Kevin Costner approaches 70 he now has a long full career of producing, directing, and acting which he can't talk about in a short time. He's become one of the all-time great filmmakers. I'm glad for his 7 or 10 (?) minute ovation yesterday at Cannes for his new film, which I'm looking forward to seeing. ✨
Can't wait to see it❤❤❤
I came for a film retrospective not to cry & fall in love with Kevin Costner. How dare you do this to me GQ! 😭😭
❤❤❤
People cry at everything.
As a teenager i was sooo in love with Kevin Costner. As a grown woman now, I feel so vindicated. He aged like the finest wine and his voice is so soothing
I’m 26 and I’m in love with him 😂
The Postman is underrated
How is "Tin Cup" not on this list? Not only is it one of his best comedic performances, but Roy McAvoy is a wonderfully complex character and the movie has one of the most unexpected and satisfying endings of any sports movie. GQ needs a Part 2 interview..
Or A Perfect World? That's a great film and Costner was superb in it.
@@JimDuggan-tq2lv Either one of these! I was actually looking for Tin Cup. Very underrated.
When you have as many classics like he had, it's hard to cover them all.
I wanted to hear about working with Robert Duvall in Open Range. What a great film.
@@garybradford8332 I know. He needs a Part 2.
“Everybody wants to be popular, myself included. But I don’t need to lose myself in order to do that.” Kevin Costner is such an icon. ❤❤❤
There were 137 ad breaks for Yellowstone on this video.
I think the algorithm took a break per Kevin's instructions
No kidding, I though, "You're preaching to the choir, CZcams."
😂
Get premium
That's what a real filmmaker looks like. He's the whole package - actor, director, producer, writer and fan. He loves the movies, and it shows.
“Dances with Wolves! I am Wind In His Hair. Do you see that I am your friend? Can you see that you will always be my friend?”
Gets me every time. 😭
sometimes i put the movie on just to watch the ending scene of that moment . Pls dont hurt my mule
Tatonka
Forever love that film 😢😊
@Dan_d00d living in Oklahoma and not being native at all we still love this so much. Connects us to the people and the land
My last day in California I was hiking a hike I'd done 1000 times and as I was leaving the park for the last time a coyote was howling up on a ridge. Looked just like the wolf in DWW and I thought of that line, ha. That scene gets me every time too.
I'm so glad he talked about JFK, one of my all-time favorite movies.
Got it in 4k. Such a great film.
I also love ,"The Bodyguard," movie. ♡☆♡☆♡☆♡...
This and untouchables and dances with wolves are amazing.
I love so many of these and am such a huge fan of Kevin, and it baffles me why Prince of Thieves isn’t remembered more fondly. I can’t think of many movies this century that have been as entertaining as that …
It’s one of my all time favorites! I have watched it several times
When I played 🎷 in school, we did the Thieves main theme at a concert. I remember my history teacher at the time saying "Costner can't do historical movies."
3,000 MILES TO GRACELAND.....way underrated. Awesome to see him play a bad guy, plus great soundtrack.
A couple of Wyatt Earp’s on the wrong side of the law.
It’s a guilty pleasure movie for sure.
He is a bad guy in Mr Brooks👀
Just seeing him and Kurt on screen together was awsome.
Field of Dreams was my father's favorite the movie. I saw it again a few months after he died and the "have a catch" scene broke me. That was the first real emotion I felt after his death. I cannot watch this movie now, but I still hold it as one of my favorite.
I'm 45, my father passed in '97. Still destroys me every f'in time.
So sorry your dad is not with you anymore - deepest condolences.
that is a way of playing catch with your father, watching a movie that was endearing to him
@@viggolover1 Thank you for saying that.
That scene gets me every time, my father is still alive, and never once played catch with him, but it’s that moment between them that resonates.
Humility with gravitas whilst not being perfect is what makes Kevin Costner great. Loved every single movie he was in.
You must not have seen Water World.
@@timkinley1779 I’m curious how many movies you starred in?
Exactly zero. Goofy. @@gluonjck63
Hold on. I need my thesaurus.
We need a Part 2 with Costner to cover all the other movies that weren't covered here.
Fandango and Perfect World are great absentees!
Kevin and Whitney were absolutely dynamic on The Bodyguard! I’m glad he championed for her to be in the film
It's so easy to forget sometimes how many classics Kevin Costner has really been in! Since I don't watch TV, he'd kind of fallen off my radar, but i always think of "Open Range" when I hear his name- one of my favorite Westerns ever, and he really made that genre what it is in a modern way. He's also looking great- one of the rare actors i've seen that doesn't change too much physically (if that makes any sense?) and still looks like themselves as they get older. What a great timeline/chat with him to listen to!
@spiercephotography
Yes, he’s aging very well🙂
Kevin Costner paid for half our Honeymoon back during the filming of the Bear/Tourist scene in the first season of Yellowstone. They filmed that scene at Triple Creek Ranch in Darby, MT. It's a wild story, but we would love to thank the guy and shake his hand. He's a class act.
No Waterworld, Mr Brooks or A Perfect world? There better be a part 2!!!
I just watched A Perfect World, and that movie really is a rollercoaster of emotions, such a great film!
So one of my favorite scenes is in "For Love of the Game" when he is pitching the last game on one of the last strike outs. When he throws the pitch before it ever reaches the batter he leaves the mound. Like just knows there is no way that pitch is going to get hit. The solid faith in that moment that you are better then whatever you are facing. Amazing.
Dances With Wolves is a masterpiece. What a beautiful film, accompanied by an equally beautiful score by the great John Barry.
A Perfect World deserved to be here. Anyway, it’s amazing. Kevin is a great actor.
Highly underrated movie.
YES! One of my favs! I can't think of another movie where they had JWs being more than two dimensional.
I balled like a baby at the end when I watched that as a kid Love that movie. Eastwood made a classic😊
A craftsman. A genuine artist and all-round top bloke.
This is one of the best of these that I've seen in a while. Costner is so honest and wonderful to listen to.
Dances with Wolves favourite movie growing up
The Untouchables is the most underrated movie of all time.
I tried to watch it since it's supposedly a classic. It is just weird, is it supposed to be a comedy? It's just plain bad imho 😬
@@TBfilms657 I can understand that point of view. It's a very 80's movie, with very exaggerated characters and a weird mix of humor and pretty silly heroics and darker themes(the baseball bat scene comes to mind). I saw it as a teenager and while it's nowhere near my favorite movie I can still enjoy it on that basis.
@@TBfilms657Wrong opinion.
The Untouchables made Sean Connery win both the Oscar and the Golden Globe and was a hit. It's not underrated at all.
What a film classic amazing actor's 👏
Kevin Costner is so articulate that I could listen to him read a phone book. And every time you see a film with Costner in it, you know you're going to get a heartfelt and emotional performance. Even in Waterworld and Robin Hood. I'm not saying I didn't like the movies, they're just not known as being his best ones
Ive been a fan of Kevin since the beginning.
After watching this I knew there would be so many omissions. I feel like Kevin Costner has more underrated movies than anyone else…a close second would be Kurt Russell. Speaking of which 3000 Miles to Graceland is very underrated and stars both of them.
What a charming personable guy. I can see why he's become a big movie star; the looks, acting chops & not prepared to compromise the collective vision or his emotional integrity when it comes to telling a story on the page.
I could listen to Kevin speaking for hours he has a calming influence which is clear in his acting also. pleasure to watch this. thanks Kev.
I can listen to KC talk all day. If you haven’t listened to his Tim Ferris interview I highly recommended it. I go back to it every once in a while.
I love so many of Kevin Costner's movies, including "Message In A Bottle" and "Dragonfly". ✨
Untouchables holds up, big time
Dances with Wolves is probably my favorite movie. So beautiful.
Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves is still my favorite Robin Hood of all time and I'll stand by that... English accent, or not! LOL :)
The score is amazing
"you have to eat one and it'll tell you where the rest of em are" 😂😂
I would have loved to hear him talk about Open Range. Loved that film.
Dances with Wolves=Masterpiece
What a great discussion of his career.
How can you not love Kevin Costner? No matter what I hear about him being "difficult," I'm still a huge fan. I wasn't there in those situations and there's two sides to them, he is protective of his art. He makes great movies that's all I care about!
When I saw the first trailer for Horizon (perfect name btw) and Costner's entrance with the music.... I was moved beyond memory.
I haven't had a LETS GO! moment in film until then. It's been so long. FINALLY COSNTER IS BACK! ❤❤
I could hear him talk about his movies all day, what a legend
Costner is the person he portrays in many films. Real. Down to earth. Genuine. Hardworking. Ethical. I knew he was going to be a big star after Silverado.
He plays the same guy every time, he's boring and repetitive.
@@PincoPallino-zh8wm He does not. You are full of it.
@@PincoPallino-zh8wm This hot take is boring and repetitive.
Silverado was him giving his most against type performance before he truly developed his type.
Costner is a teacher. I love listening to what he has to say.
How sad that they didn’t talk about 'A Perfect World,' which I think is one of Costner's top best performances.
I knew it would be a long shot of them to bring up 'Mr. Brooks.' A great underrated thriller, and Costner is fantastic in it. It's probably my number one favorite performance of his. Surprisingly, the top two performances I love of his are the one's where he plays a bad guy. Wish he'll do more roles as a villain cause he's really excellent when he does them.
Can't wait to see his new movie 'Horizon.'
I could listen to him all day long.
One of the best underrated actors in Hollywood.
He mentions Thirteen Days during the JFK recap; one of his best films imho. If you ever get a chance, give it watch.
Still waiting for Waterworld 2
Also, why isn't he talking about Waterworld? It's his best movie.
Wa2rworld
@@kurtdewittphoto the reason could be that he don't wanna talk about all those uncomfortable situations during the period when the movie was creating.
😂😂😂
Dont hold your breath
I could have watched Kevin speak for another hour. A terrific storyteller with some deep insight about his films, and the art of making movies.
I'm honestly surprised that Mr Brooks is not on here. It was magnificent and a real different role for him. Loved every minute of it.
Kevin Costner is iconic now. Such an interesting, thoughtful, wide-ranging interview and so overdue! He has anchored some of the best films of the nineties, not to mention being the creative force behind the visionary classic Dances With Wolves. A true great of modern American cinema.
Aging like fine wine. And yes, his Robin Hood is one of my favorite movies of all time. Fell free to judge me 😆
This should have been a two hour interview. I really would love to hear him talk about the War, a Perfect World, Fandango, Waterworld, No Way Out, Open Range, & Tin Cup.
My favourite Kevin Costner movie is Fandango. Saw it as a teenager in the 80s and it stayed with me.
Looks fast.
Yea, it's the stripes.
Drafted, graduated, disengaged. You know what this means...
Yeah, was going to say the same thing. Great movie.
Yes!!! I was looking for this comment. 👍
"Do y'all drink beer?...well yes on occasion"
Oh wow, I was on a Kevin Costner kick a couple weeks ago, watching all his movies, and I was disappointed that GQ hadn’t done one of these videos with him. Couple weeks later, my silent wish is answered lol
Honest about his acting not being where it was in The Untouchables. I respect that.
Saw him in concert for his band a couple years ago and it was one of the best days of my life
Love him in Better Call Saul 🩷
Was he in that?
"I was last night."
GQ, Wow, this made my day brighter! Thank you!
Could listen to Costner talking about movies all day
I could listen to 3 more hours of this. Everything his seen and done, in front of and behind the camera, is so engaging.
Costner watched thirteen days with Castro in Cuba. WOW!
Magnificent cinematography by a master Andrzej Bartkowiak.
Great interview! Love a lot of these movies.
Yes , I also liked Waterworld .
Compelling, passionate, commanding, eloquent...i'm not sure what word best describes him, but I know 100% I could listen to this cat talk all day. Fantastic interview.
Dances with Wolves still one of the greatest masterpieces of film!
I adore Waterworld. The theatrical cut and the Ulisyss cut. Watched Waterworld at least 100 times. Would love to have heard Kevin talk about it, despite the conflict and hassle they had making it, it's a classic too. It has a cult following.
But, yeah. Dances with wolves is phenomenal. Always rewatchable.
Love Robin Hood, great fun.
Untouchables. What a cast. One of the great mobster based movies, very emotional. Many great scenes.
'Revenge' with Madeleine Stowe and Anthony Quinn was awesome.
Thanks for the interview, an amazing guy !
OMG I love Kevin Costner!! Such an incredible actor. Every role he plays is gold. Even the movies that flopped. He stands out in every movie.
All day, I could listen to KC chat. I heartily suggest listening to his Tim Ferris interview if you haven't already. I revisit it every now and then.
Maybe you need to reach out to him if you’re a top fan. He’s very open if you already have his fan card…. Contact @kevincostner_horizonAS
You skipped Perfect World.
Along with Tin Cup, that's one of Costner's most underrated classics.
Costner chose.
He's a wonderful interviewee!
Great job - incredibly thorough.
What a fantastic creative.
He is my Robin Hood and Bodyguard forever.
One of the all time greats. Great vid.
Great actor, great guy. He's about emotions and being true to self. Love him
Thank you, Kevin. For all the stories.
Not having 'Open Range,' 'No Way Out' or 'Waterworld' in a Kevin Costner retrospective boggles the mind. Add 'Revenge' to that which has one of the most convincing couple on-screen chemistries next to 'The Year of Living Dangerously,' 'Havana,' 'The Bridges of Madison County' and 'The Before Trilogy.'
Agreed - Open range is a fantastic performance.
He wasn't in The Bridges of Madison County; that was Clint Eastwood.
And so many other great films as well. There's just not enough time. The man's a cinema titan.
I could listen to him for hours, a pleasent voice, a great storyteller, so talented and intelligent 👍🏻👏
Wow, what a great guy. I didn’t realize that I was such a fan but it’s easy after listening to him just talk for 10 min
Is it possible to love him even more than I did? Yes. ❤❤❤
The fact they didn't talk about Mr. Brooks is just so aggravating.
I love this series, but had to wait until I could really dive in and watch this all the way through. Each new clip was like, "oh yeah!" Love this guy. One of the few celebrities I would like to spend time with in real life. And I agree with others - this needs a Part 2 to cover the other gems. What a career!
Thank you for Dances with Wolves. One of my very favorites, including the John Barry film score.
I could watch field of dreams again and again it's so great.
John Barry's music in Dances with wolves❤❤
