The heading was open ended. I prefer Quake slightly. Had he have had more lines he might have won a few more votes. As someone posted, Kilmer stole the movie, I think partly because he had better or at least more good lines.

I agree with post that said Kilmer probably should have been considered for supporting Oscar.

One thing that sways me toward Quaid is his asking. wyatt rhetorically if he had ever been to Georgia. "It is. very green and I fear I'll never see it again". Wyatt simply tells Doc he is sorry with sincerity because he, like Doc, is an exile from his home. Their friendship begins in that moment.

Whats amazing about that scene between Quaid and Costner when they met and discuss Rudibaugh is the disparity between how fricking awesome Quaid is in that scene and how fricking awful Costner is sitting there looking like a retard the whole time.

Tombstone is Kilmer's greatest moment the highpoint of his career, and Tombstone is such a better movie than WE, i have to go with Kilmer overall, but damn, Quaid was good.

A detour. Tombstone's Ike Clanton (an underappreciated performance) played two different CSA generals in Gettysburg and Gods and Generals.

He was freakin' Pickett in Gettysburg. Dude was also the villain in Avatar. Hard to recognize when playing a chubby westerner...another example from the same movie is obviously Billy Bob Thornton.

The question wasn't which one was more historically accurate..it was which one was "best" in the context of the movie.

Some consider historical accuracy to be just as important to a film as a good line.

Avatar. Amazing. Totally missed that. In addition to Pickett in Gettysburg and Stonewall Jackson in Gods and Generals. Stephen Lang.
