THIS IS THE NUMBER ONE MOVIE EVER IN LIFE OF THE COSMOS AND OF THE UNIVERSES OF THE CREATION OF ALL THE GALAXIES. I can't believe you hadn't seenit. "He say... a sick horse... will come to avenge him...and... I don't know... he talk crazy, no entiendo un carajo!!!" "That's not what he said, you ignorant wretch... your Spanish is worse than your English... " AWESOMEST EVER.
Did anybody ever see the movie that opened opposite Tombstone? The one Kevin Costner direc-starred in? It sure disappeared forever despite people anticipating it would crush Tombstone! Here it is on Wikipedia: "Unlike most films depicting lawman Wyatt Earp, this one gave the back history of his life, starting in his teenage years and taking the viewer on into his late years. Despite being more historically accurate than the earlier film, Tombstone starring Kurt Russell, Wyatt Earp was considered slower paced and lacked the action, therefore receiving little attention. Dennis Quaid did receive some praise for having portrayed Doc Holliday very accurately. Although the movie received some critical acclaim, it was also nominated for a Razzie Award for Worst Picture, despite its having an excellent cast of actors and actresses. Costner's performance won the Razzie Award for Worst Actor. [1]"
The bar scene when Doc Holiday swirls a small cup to counter Ringo's pistol swirling kicks major ass. One of the best movies of all time.
I've never seen Costner's Wyatt Earp but everyone who's seen it say it's pretty decent. Just never been a fan of his stuff. Tombstone is one of the few westerns I enjoy, Unforgiven is another one, the later doesn't have as many chessy parts
I love that movie, whenever I am on a long flight it is one of 3 or 4 that I always have ready to play... DD
i may have to duck and cover for this one, but i saw unforgiven for the first time last friday. not too big on westerns but this one was good same with tombstone.
Actually... "There is no normal life, Wyatt... There's just life.. Now get on with it and live it." Love that movie.
Bill Pullman almost ruined the movie for me (as he does most every movie). Next to Kilmer, Sam Elliott had the best part. He is always mega cool in most movies he is in.
Whether it was the intent or not, they did seem to reference the cheese factor when one of the guys asked where Wyatt was and Doc responded with "Down at the creek, walking on water." In essence, my least favorite scene in the movie lead directly to one of my favorite lines from that movie. Great flick. "I got two guns. One for each of you." Doc's a bad ass.
Well, I have just stolen that image and found it a nice home in my easy access office antic image folder... thanks WSC...
The best line of that movie by far: "There's something about him....something around the eyes. He reminds me of me...Yep, I'm sure of it. I hate him. "
Definitely Charley: You the one killed our friend? Butler: That's right. I shot the boy, too. And I enjoyed it. [Charley pulls out his gun and shoots Butler]
Yeah I saw it last year for the first time myself, Kilmer was so badass it wasn't even funny. Speaking of which, I just recently for the first time watched The Shawshank Redemption (not on TV) and that was also incredible.
He's thinking of Bill Paxton, who was the younger brother of Wyatt. Hey, this was a great western, one of those flicks I watch whenever it comes on cable. The western genre suffered a serious decline for many years, but thank goodness they still make a few, and they still uncork a jewel from time to time. This one in 1993, and Unforgiven in 1992 are 2 of the best. Westerns seemed to largely die out after the early '70's, until these two brought them back with (forgive me!) a bang. Some of my favorites? Red River High Noon Shane McCabe and Mrs. Miller The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance The Searchers The Wild Bunch Little Big Man The Treasure of the Sierra Madre Viva Zapata Once Upon a Time in the West The Gunfighter Fort Apache The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly and, of course... Unforgiven Tombstone All great westerns. I left some out that I really like, but consider a bit over the top (The Magnificent Seven) or more than a bit of a comedy (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid). Can't go wrong with any of them. Amazing how many have John Wayne acting and John Ford directing. And I shouldn't have left out Stagecoach, which jump-started the genre.
Paxton ...Pullman ......sorry I get them easily confused .....they both ruin most movies they are in Although I have to say Paxton is better than Pullman
