Tombstone

Just got finished watching this movie this again. At the moment I can't think of a better movie. Val Kilmer gives the performance of a lifetime. If you haven't seen this movie stop whatever you are doing even if you are giving birth, performing openheart surgery, etc and see this movie.

Not in my top ten but definitely a great "modern" western, meaning it is more action than plot driven. But, yes, I like Kilmer a lot in this movie, also.

Yup, I wanted to be a cowboy after watching this movie. Great story, fantastic cast of actors. Val Kilmer was great as Doc Holliday.

Definently one of the best Westerns I've ever seen. Val Kilmer as Doc Holiday just flat out rocks.

This effectively captures the speghetti feel that I look for in this genre. Though I have to agree with Asshole Lover above that Unforgiven is a much better film.

If there is any doubt about the superiority of this film, just watch the movie Wyatt Earp, and see how piss poor the same subject matter can be presented. Val Kilmers performance rivals that of Daniel Day Lewis in Gangs of New York, and Kurt Russell tops Kevin Costner in every way in the same role of Wyatt. Hell, if you through in Clint Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef, there wouldn't be a better western ever made. No offense to anyone, but Unforgiven was a snooze-fest saved only by a powerful performance by Eastwood.

Incredible movie,

but i must disagree that Val's performance rivals Daniel day Lewis in Gangs of New York,
That is inho the best performance of any lifetime.

But yea tombstome was a great movie and Val Kilmer's 2nd greatest role.
He was amazing as Jim Morrison in the Doors.

Tombstone is a great flick, definitely the best treatment of the Wyatt Earp story, utterly blowing away Costner's.

I wouldnt call it the best western or anything, but it was VERY entertaining.

Kilmer as Doc Holliday was fucking outstanding.

I loved Kilmer as Doc Holiday...when I saw Depp's performance in Pirates of the Caribbean I was kind of reminded of it.

He's the guy in the upscale saloon that the customers were afraid to go into. Wyatt slaps him and tells him to leave. He comes back after Wyatt with the shotgun not long after.

Funny enough, I decided to get my wife to watch Tombstone, which is easily one of my favorite films. She isn't a huge fan of westerns and westerns-influenced films, but she really enjoyed Tombstone. How can you not? Val Kilmer's performance was nothing short of brilliant and the film never loses its pace!
