[Deleted member 577981]

9/10. Such great quotes. Like a number of movies, the love interest/parts make it a downer at times.

Tombstone

Synopsis: Wyatt Earp (Kurt Russell) and his brothers, Morgan (Bill Paxton) and Virgil (Sam Elliott), have left their gunslinger ways behind them to settle down and start a business in the town of Tombstone, Ariz. While they aren't looking to find trouble, trouble soon finds them when they become targets of the ruthless Cowboy gang. Now, together with Wyatt's best friend, Doc Holliday (Val Kilmer), the brothers pick up their guns once more to restore order to a lawless land.

My Rating: 9/10

Have you seen Doc?

The trailer is too long with an annoying narration, but I really liked the movie

 

[KnightTemplar]

10/10 for me. Yeah, there are better Westerns, but none I enjoy more. Kilmer's best performance by orders of magnitude. In a massively stacked cast, all throwing heat, he still manages to steal damn near every scene. And I say that as someone who's liked many more Kurt Russel movies than Kilmer's.

 

[KnightTemplar]

I thought westerns were boring and terrible, not for me for sure. But last year I fell in love with them and haven't looked back. You should definitely check out the good the bad and the ugly if you haven't already. Not only the best western easily but also one of my favorite films.

Contains one of the single greatest lines in any Western,

"If you have to shoot, shoot, don't talk"

Great. Visited Tombstone once because of this movie.

 

[HARRISON_3]

Great. Visited Tombstone once because of this movie.

I checked it out once, as well.

Not because of the movie, but still.

Kinda depressing, tbh

Great movie, however

8.5/10

My brothers used to watch it all together growing up and say all the lines from the movie. Didnt realize that was Billy Bob Thorton getting slapped at the table till later in life

I'm your huckleberry
Well a daisy if you do
Skin that smoke waggon and see what happens
You gonna do something or just sit there and bleed


I just wish they would have killed Ike during the movie. That damn coward rat bastard!

Billy Bob getting slapped. Frank Stallone getting stabbed.

 

[BisexualMMA]

so these were the people nominated the year he would have been...

WINNER
TOMMY LEE JONES
The Fugitive
NOMINEES
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
What's Eating Gilbert Grape
RALPH FIENNES
Schindler's List
JOHN MALKOVICH
In the Line of Fire
PETE POSTLETHWAITE
In the Name of the Father

I haven't seen any of these movies other than the Fugitive. But I still feel confident that he should have been nominated over at least some of them. Tough to say that he should have won over Tommy Lee Jones though.

I have seen them all. I would say Val Kilmer in Tombstone was probably superior to Tommy Lee Jones, Pete Postlethwaite and John Malkovich, all of whom were very good themselves. I'd have to start thinking about Fiennes and DiCaprio.

 

[BisexualMMA]

Might be his best performance. Both are top notch in every movie they're in.

Fav John performance is definitely Rounders

Fav Leo is either Django or Hollywood.

Malkovich was not very good in Of Mice and Men.

I don't know if Rounders was a great performance or not, I actually can't even tell, but it doesn't matter because he's so entertaining, especially the last time he stick it in you.

Check out what's eating Gilbert grape. You get to see a young DiCaprio play a retarded teenager. He does a fantastic job.

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

It's a masterpiece. I love the movie, it's great fun. Seems like it's always on AMC for some reason.

It was a slow movie but it was interesting to see the Earps portrayed as the bad guys. Harris Yulin has always been an underappreciated actor.

is Doc Holiday medically certified?

 

[Cherry Brigand]

7-8.

It has its issues. The whole Dana Delaney subplot sucks all the energy out of the film and goes on way too long. The 'noooo nooo. Nooo' making Earp impossible to kill was just ridiculous.

Otherwise pretty good.

Lol. You and HBK think Tombstone is better than fight club and Django? That’s a really overrated film on Sherdog for some reason.

Django could have been a 10/10 film and Tarantino's best if the ending was better. And if Will Smith was Django.

Fight club is an 8, could be a 9. Have to see it again but again I don't have a hard on for Fincher like you do.

Django is in the same ball park.

Neither of those 3 would crack my top 10 films though.

This scene alone I have watched at least 30 times and it makes me laugh or smile each time

Tombstone is a 7 being generous.

nostalgia is too strong. When it comes to objective technical aspects both fight club or inception stomps hard this one.

I agree that Django has some issues.
