Big Screen Classics: City Slickers (1991)

Big Screen Classics 2026 is sponsored by Hotel Vandivort.

From director Ron Underwood (Tremors) comes City Slickers, the hilarious, heartfelt modern comedy western that became one of the most beloved films of the 1990s. Mitch Robbins (Billy Crystal) is a disillusioned New Yorker on the verge of a midlife crisis. Along with his two best friends, Ed (Bruno Kirby) and Phil (Daniel Stern), he signs up for the ultimate getaway: a two-week cattle drive across the rugged landscapes of New Mexico to Colorado. Trading their desk chairs for saddles, the trio quickly discover that wrangling cattle under the watch of the grizzled trail boss Curly (Jack Palance) is a lot tougher than they ever imagined.
