Films Featured

  • Three Burials (2005)
    • Tommy Lee Jones filmed much of Three Burials on the far West Texas ranch that he owned at the time, and shot other scenes in the town of Van Horn, not far from the ranch. In one of the most memorable scenes in the movie, Pete Perkins (Tommy Lee Jones) stands outside a run-down bar in rural Mexico and calls over the Van Horn Cafe waitress, Rachel (Melissa Leo), asking her if she will leave her husband for him. When she says no, his disconsolate, lost look is unforgettable.
