Tombstone vs Wyatt Earp

[CochiseCowbell]

They’re both good. They’re different. The end.

"I stand corrected. You're an oak, all right."

"Very cosmopolitan."

Probably a little known fact, but Costner’s ancestry comes through Mississippi. His GG Grandparents are buried about 20 minutes north of Calhoun City. And he has many cousins who are MSU grads including this one.

Without them guns, you're nothing but a skinny lunger.

And now we know where he gets his love of college baseball.

Big fan of Open Range, it may be the perfect western. Duvall and Costner work well together. Unforgiven was probably my favorite western until Open Range.

One of the the most disappointing movies I've watched in a long time was Hostiles with Christian Bale. On the flip side I loved his 3:10 to Yuma. Another good one is Seraphim Falls with Liam Neeson and Pierce Brosnan.

not crazy about a lot of the older westerns, but one of my favorite older ones is Nevada Smith with Steve McQueen. If you've never seen it do yourself a favor and try to watch it. It's on the Western Channel a time or two a month.

Saying all that, if I want to just be entertained I'll revert back to Tombstone

Don’t know if you’ve seen it but if you like westerns and don’t mind graphic violence Bone Tomahawk is fantastic.

Agreed. Wyatt Earp is painful to watch, except for when the Sensai from Kobra Kai gets throat punched and falls to the floor with his glorious Swayze Mullett

Wyatt Earp is complete garbage. I'm a pretty big movie buff and this is the only movie I have ever been so uninterested, I fell asleep in the theater. Tombstone was an incredible movie

Tombstone loses me at the point Wyatt and Doc go after Morgan's killers . all the disjointed chase scenes are really cheap and B movieish. WE is too long but I think it tells the story better. Open Range is probably top five all time for me. Watch The Cowboys on History, it mentions some very good movies that I had forgotten about and even a few that I had never seen or heard of. Favorite is very subjective, my criteria is, if I scroll across it on TV can I keep scrolling, these are the ones I can't..
1. Open Range
2. Wyatt Earp
3. Chism
4. El Dorado
5. Unforgiven
6. The Magnificent Seven
7. The Cowboys, John Wayne.
8. True Grit
not necessarily in any order!

Hateful Eight? Different type of movie but definitely entertaining.

Those are all good, but any list without The Searchers, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, The Good, The Bad and the Ugly, and The Outlaw Josey Wales is incomplete.

 

[PineGroveBully]

It was alright, not Tarantino's best work but I'd slot it behind Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, Inglorious Basterds and ahead of Django and the Kill Bills.

 

[PineGroveBully]

I haven't seen it, will keep an eye out for it.

Couple of my other favorites that hadnt been mentioned. A newer one called Forsaken, very good starring Keifer and Donald Sutherland. Also really like Appaloosa, Monte Walsh, The Man from Snowy River, The Cullpepper Cattle Co., and Mel Gibson's Maverick

It’s on Amazon Prime. Kurt is great as always.

 

[Moe Cabelle]

Kurt Russell is one of my all time favs. Surely, escape from New York & the Thing bridge the gap. Used Cars is probably a forgotten classic. Jack warden was great in that also.

 

[Bulldog Bruce]

Costner was in a great western, Silverado.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Costner looks like he is in high school in that movie, another of the really good ones with a great cast. I have to put that one on to watch every now and then. Kevin Kline is awesome.

He was the perfect Ice Man too. I liked his character better than Maverick, which I don't think was supposed to happen.

 

[Junction John]

Assuming with this list you like The Sons of Katie Elder too... It's another good one.

 

[biscuit.sixpack]

You gotta throw in The Wild Bunch as far as awesome westerns

 

[HumpDawgy]

I wouldn't put Tombstone as one of the all time great westerns, but it is still a classic. Val Kilmer knocked that role out of the park.

 

[maroonmania]

You left out Overboard!!*** Seriously, I did think Russell did a masterful job of playing Herb Brooks in Miracle.

Yep, another good one. Dean Martin was excellent in westerns, especially when paired with the Duke.

 

[PineGroveBully]

That the one where Jeff Goldblum plays a villain? Dude also looks 7 foot tall if it's the same movie

 

[PineGroveBully]

Can't believe there's been no mention of Back to the Future III****

"Clint Eastwood will forever be known as the biggest yella belly in the west"
