Your favorite Western

[Hector]

If Costner could act, I would agree. LOL. Honestly though, it was a good movie, but Val Kilmer's portrayal of Doc Holiday in Tombstone was hands down awesome.

Kilmer hammed it up, he was a caricature.

Costner can't act?

Did you see Kurt Russell's horrible performance as a wimpy Wyatt Earp? Russell almost ruined Tombstone.

Costner made one baddarse Wyatt Earp.

Have you seen him in Open Range? That's his best performance ever.

Hector, you are right. I do like almost all of his movies, which is weird considering his acting leaves me cold. He chooses his roles very well.

For the record, I loved The Postman.....now, Waterworld is another story.....lol

I kick myself for not including Red River earlier.

We shall agree to disagree. I like Kurt Russell and loved his Earp. We do agree....Open Range is definitely one of his best roles, if not his best.

Don't get me wrong, Costner has been in a lot of turkeys too, starting with the Bodyguard, lol.

But like you said, for some odd reason, he nails his Western movie roles.

I would take Russells earp over Costners anyday sorry Hector...LOL
Wyatt Earp with costner was a really good movie and I actually enjoy watching Kevin Costner however Tombstone was a Great Movie!!!!

[Hector]

Russell's Earp "NOOOOOO!!!!!!"

Funniest Tombstone scene, lol.

[David Lee]

Russell's Earp "NOOOOOO!!!!!!"

Funniest Tombstone scene, lol.

Pistol whipping Billy Bob Thorton and asking him if he's gonna "throwdown"? or just sit there and bleed?... "c'mon boy jerk that smokewagon and go to work..." or how about " you tell him Wyatte Earp is coming for him and hell's comin with me..."

Arguing for Wyatt Earp over Tombstone: Funniest part of this thread, lol

High 5 Mr. Lee. ;-)

[jwyblejr]

Any western with Dean Martin is a must see.

[Goblin19]

Once Upon a Time in the West has my favorite opening scene of all time. Bronson is such a badass. Ride the High Country has my favorite ending.
Shane would probably 6th on my list.

[hobub]

I love westerns. I could list nearly every Clint Eastwood western here (except Joe Kidd, never cared for it). But I'll just list two, and a few other favorites

The Outlaw Josey Wales
Unforgiven
The Shootist (John Wayne's last film. What a great movie)
The Searchers
Shane
High Noon
Open Range
Lonesome Dove

Chris

Petty much what he said. And I can watch Westerns all day long, every day. Add Gunsmoke from episodes 1960-66 to that list (which can be found on-Demand under Encore Westerns) Excellently done. No wonder it lasted 20 years.. The episodes I mention are Adult topics before the sensors got ahold of the show. Rated PG-13 V-Violence.

Great thread. Lots of Great Westerns mentioned. Don't forget those Jimmy Stewart, Randolph Scott and Joel McCrea Westerns. All favs.

NOOOOOOO!!!

Yeah, nothing more intimidating than Billy Bob Thorton (who happened to play a bullying coward in the first place), lol.

You can laugh all you want, Tombstone is still overrated as hell, Kilmer plays a caricature, and Russell sucks.

Holiday had to fight Johnny Ringo, because wimpy Earp was no match for Ringo, now that's funny, lol.

BTW, neither Earp or Holiday killed Ringo in real life, and that's the problem with Tombstone, a lot less accurate than Costner's Wyatt Earp movie.

NOOOOOOO!
