Lonesome Dove
Ride the High Country
Once Upon a Time in the West

I like both Costner and Russell's Earp films. Costner's is more accurate and serious film, but Tombstone is just fun and cool.

Exactly.

I don't say Tombstone is overrated because it's a bad movie, it is an entertaining and fun flick, but I call it overrated because is just not as accurate and as serious as Costner's brooding version, Wyatt Earp is an epic type of a Western drama, while Tombstone is more like a popcorn Summer flick.

That's all I'm saying, wink.

Everybody knows James Garner was the better Wyatt Earp anyways.

Tombstone is like a junkfood western. It's full of plot holes, inaccuracies, and hammy overacting. But dagnabbit, I love it. One of my favorite Earp line is "You die first get it. Your friends might get me in a rush but not before I make your head into a canoe."

I haven't seen Costner's Wyatt Earp in years. It's probably more historically accurate, and overall better acted, but as I recall it was pretty boring, and really long.

When Costner is ON he's a great actor. But he phones stuff in sometimes. See "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves".

My 2 favorites:

Rio Lobo-John Wayne
Little Big Man-Dustin Hoffman

I loved Dances with Wolves and thought Costner was great in it. Then again I liked both The Postman and Waterworld so......I guess I'm easily entertained : )

This is a custom figure I put together a number of years ago. It is supposed to resemble John Wayne as Col. Cord McNally from Rio Lobo.

My favorite TV Western by far is the first Lonesome Dove, a true classic.

unforgiven and Rio bravo. the last 15min of unforgiven is some of the greatest film i've ever seen. More of a modern day western but a western nonetheless and i dont think i saw anybody mention Tombstone but besides Val Kilmer that is an "mtv western" pure fluff.

I know i mentioned rio bravo but my dad would say "John Waynes the only cowboy to never get **** on his boots"

[Blue Meanie]

Not a huge western fan...but if I had to pick the 2 I would pick would be "Long Riders" and "Tom Horn". IMHO two classic western films.

[Bionicfanboy66]

Any western with Richard Anderson(aka Oscar Goldman). He's been in a few.
