Probably the best western ever!

Rating: 10/10 (18 March 2006)

Though a little poetic license was used, this movie blows away Clementine, Hour of the Gun etc. as fairly accurate. "Wyatt Earp" was a little more accurate. Had they combined the efforts, a bibliography would have emerged.
Dennis Quaid was more accurate but perhaps not as amusing as "your huckleberry". Costner is more of a method actor, while Russell is an entertainer.
The MAKING OF TOMBSTONE w/ the cast and Zemecis was a joy as well. I don't know why Wyatt Earp hasn't come to DVD yet.
Both were tremendous. Tombstone, Wyatt Earp, Young Guns I & II, and The Shootist are easily the runaway Top 5.
