I had some of the same problems with Hidalgo that I did with Dances with Wolves, but at least it didn't have Kevin Costner in it. (Okay, that's not quite fair. He's all right when he doesn't direct himself. As it is, I'd pay good money to put him AND Mel Gibson in the Thunderdome. Gah.)
I'm going to ask "What is the Thunderdome?" because although I can guess from the context what it does, I suspect your explanation will be amusing.
Dances with Wolves was one of the movies vaguely in the back of my mind in the "Should probably see that some day," list. So should it be off that list?
Think big, steel girder dome, Tina Turner in Wild Woman clothing, Evil Dead style post-apocalyptic weaponry (yes, including a chainsaw, and all sorts of other nasties from shotguns to scythes), and a whole bunch of goodfornothing post-apocalyptic viewers shouting "Two men enter! One man leaves! [repeat ad infinitum]" (and getting killed when one of the contestants accidentally sticks his blade through the cage. Oh, and one of the men is usually Mel Gibson.
