The more I watch Tombstone

Kilmer should have been nominated for an Oscar.

Far and away Kilmer's best performance. Him not getting nominated for an Oscar is a travesty.

Even though I was not alive then and none of my family members ever lived out West and I had no role in those events, I am still interested in that time period and enjoy that movie. Very good.

As good as Kilmer is, I've always thought Powers Boothe carried the film. He was perfect.

Johnny Ringo bout to get owned

I do not understand the fascination with this movie

Fun, entertaining movie that's cartoonish.

I like it, but I'm also the kind of guy who can't stomach movies where grown men dress up as bats or spiders to solve crime.

Stephen Lang as Ike Clanton was better than all of them.

Not really at all

Tell us about Ringo and doc's historical duel first.

The gunfight in that movie was pretty accurate. Close quarters and around 30 shots fired in total.

One of the only things missed from the historical context was that Doc was shot and wounded during the shootout, however it was not reflected within the movie. Also since first seeing this movie years ago, and reading the actual history of those involved, I remain amazed that Wyatt Earp lived his whole life without having been so much as grazed by a bullet. Truly astounding considering the towns he worked and the lawless time he lived in. He was on the wrong side of some unsavory individuals during his time.
