The Sunchaser (1996)

What a spectacular portrayal of a dying journey.......

If you do not give this movie 5 stars, then you have lived a very sheltered life, without heartbreak, or you are just heartless. As a nurse who worked in hospice, it is a wonderful touching portrayal of a dying man's journey to his end. It is presented in such a way that you do not know what to expect next, even if you are experienced with the dying process. The storyline is unique, and the acting is great. What in the world can you find wrong with this movie? I am only disappointed Anne Bancroft's part is not bigger, and that it has not been released on DVD. It was also not publicized. If you have not given this movie a chance, or did not like it because Woody was not funny, reconsider....get a box of kleenex, grow up and realize that not everyone can live a charmed life...sometimes life is just sad, and if you can continue to look for the "medicine man", and look for the good in life....Blessed Be.....

One of my favorites...

I've seen this movie when it was on teathers and then bought the vhs when it came out on vhs... Its a great movie and any one who hasn't seen "the sunchaser" should see it. The plot is basically, if i try suming it up ? This doctor "woody harrelson" is suppost to take care of this ill pation "Jon seda" but it doesn't go smoothly and Seda kidnaps Harrelson and because the ill pation " seda" wants to get better and the place to get better is in this mountain so they take this big trip... Its realy a good movie and kinda emotianel. Worth owning ! Dont try looking for this title on dvd because it is only available on vhs. May 25, 2006

VERY TOUCHING ENDING... AMAZING PERFORMACES

After watching "Sunchaser", I realize that Woody Harrelson and Jon Seda are TWO VERY UNDER-RATED actors. Acting is, after all, about believability; pursuading the viewer that you are who you SAY you are. Within the first 15 minutes of this movie I believed every word out of these two actor's mouths. Jon Seda is FLAWLESS as a terminally ill, escaped convict, who kidnaps a doctor (Woody Harrelson) in order to make a great journey to a mystical healing lake. Makes for a pretty good flick. Watch it at least once, you'll probably like it. July 15, 2001

wonderful movie

when this movie came up yesterday evening on tv i watched it mainly because it was in german, and i had to practice german. not that i really felt like watching it... but, contrary to my former expectationes, i loved it, from the very beginning until the very end. this is woody harrelson's best role EVER, he makes you get into the story and feel how he gradually changes... and jon seda is awesome, too. i recommend this fil to everybody who, like me, think there is still hope...
