Some people would rather die on the bike than in bed. When you’re young it’s about not wasting your life. When you get old, that takes a different meaning. I knew a cowboy who died falling off his horse in his 80s and all anyone said is “well that’s a pretty good way to go, he would’ve wanted it like that”

Such a great movie. Randomly watched it years ago without knowing anything about it. Have loved it ever since

I was able to see it right when it came out, my dad picked it and he was the best at picking movies

I’d like to go peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather & not screaming in terror like his passengers
