Which movie's better in your opinion, "Tombstone" or "Wyatt Earp?"

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

"Wyatt Earp" just got the 2-DVD deluxe treatment, but I always thought that "Tombstone" was the king of the Earp movies. There's just something about a thoroughly off-his-rocker, shotgun-toting Kurt Russell yelling at the top of his lungs "You tell 'em I'm comin'...and I'm bringin' HELL with me" that sticks in your memory.

Also, regardless of what Val Kilmer might be like as a human being, I always thought he was rightfully applauded as the definitive Doc Holliday.

What do you folks think?

1. "Tombstone" is far superior, IMHO

And I agree with you about Kilmer (but I thought he was a good Batman, too, and others disagree)

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

18. Better than George Clooney...although ya gotta give Clooney credit...

...for having enough of a sense of humor to describe himself as "the man who single-handedly sank the Batman franchise."

...the truth is that the majority of people find Joel Schumacher responsible for the unwatchable mess that is "Batman and Robin." That's why it became "The Last Batman Movie He Will Ever Direct."

and I also thought that Tommy Lee Jones as Two Face and Jim Carrey as the Riddler worked well, too.

In Tombstone, Kilmer was like Sean Connery in the Bond flicks when he indelibly stamped the "Bond...JAMES Bond..." intro onto the worldwide consciousness. Kilmer was Doc Holiday with a vengeance...Doc EFFING Holiday...:-)

2. I'm yo huckleberry

no doubt. Kilmer and Tombstone rule.

[belladonna]

3. You beat me to it

I LOVE that line, and Kilmer delivered it perfectly. Oh, and looked really hot while he was doing it too :D

[burythehatchet]

5. Speaking as a straight dude

even I thought he looked hot.

9. Kilmer did rock in this **one** movie..

What happened? Did he fire his agent. Why couldn't he get anymore good parts? :shrug:

[NightTrain]

4. Costner's "Wyatt Earp" was so bad, I walked out on it.

That was an especially tough decision as it happened to be the in-flight movie!

[Finbar]

6. Tombstone... Hands down... No discussion... end of debate....

Stop considering it... lock the thread.....turn the computer off...
don't even need to continue the thought.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

11. Well, that's what I thought, but I wanted to be fair...

...and I guess the fair thing to do is declare "Tombstone" the champ!

Damn, what a fine, fine movie.

"I'm here, Huckleberry..."

"Why, Johhny Ringo...you look like somebody just WALKED over your grave!"

"Poor soul...you were just too high strung."

"I'm afraid the strain was more than he could bear."

7. I liked Tombstone better

but Wyatt Earp was closer to the true story

[Kahuna]

8. Tombstone. I don't like violent, manly movies as a rule....

But I like this one a lot.

[HEyHEY]

10. I got two guns....one for each of ya

A line so good it should have been in a spaghetti western

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

12. It was like they learned the lessons from the best Westerns ever made...

...and STILL managed to do something new.

[DS1]

13. I can't really imagine how Tombstone could've been better

[camero]

14. Tombstone

Hands down. I fell asleep during Wyatt Earp.

[ellie]

15. Tombstone was great!

Full of great quotes including the ones already mentioned:

Why Ed, are we cross? If we weren't friends anymore, I don't think I could bear it.

I have two guns, one for each of you.

I will not be pawed at.

Maybe we should have a spelling contest!

17. He kind of reminds me of...ME. n/t

[MrSlayer]

16. Wyatt Earp I found to be superior.

Everyone looked too fake in Tombstone. Val Kilmer looked ridiculous with the obvious fake moustache.

[TN al]

19. I liked Wyatt Earp better...

...for its accuracy. 3 hours is really too long for a movie though.

[LWolf]

20. Tombstone

And while I liked Kurt Russel's Wyatt Earp, Val Kilmer's Doc Holliday was the best part of that movie.

Not being much of a movie goer or fan to begin with, I have no idea what kind of human being he is, but he was a great Doc Holliday!

[Tom_Foolery]

21. Wyatt Earp is the better movie....

even though I think Val Kilmer is a good actor.

[SaveElmer]

22. Wyatt Earp...Dana Delaney is the worst Actress EVER

Wyatt Earp had it's flaws...but it was good...and far more accurate than Tombstone. Dennis Quaid was outstanding...and a more believable Doc Holliday.

Tombstone was entertaining as well though. But Dana Delaney nearly ruined it for me...boy she is bad!!!
