I also think these two movies are the two greatest Westerns ... but, as @DWeeB1967 said, for entirely different reasons. Tombstone plays fast and loose with story, and realism, and historical accuracy. It's just a fun - a VERY fun - action flick that happens to be set in the old west. And I think Val Kilmer's greatest role ... just fantastic, how that part was written, and what Kilmer did with it. But if I HAD to ... then, of course, Unforgiven would be the greater of the two. Very powerful movie. It isn't the best of the genre; rather, it transcends the genre. Like all great movies do.

Tombstone will entertain and somewhat educate you. Unforgiven will haunt you. I went to the theatre in the middle of the afternoon and saw Unforgiven when I was in my last year of college, so I'm thinking it was 1993? One of the few movies that I can remember when and where I saw it. I can remember walking through the parking lot afterwards...it sticks with you.

	Man I don't know. I hate to suggest something and have it come back and bite you. It's like when my brother asks me "who should I start?" questions in fantasy football. I hate answering because whoever I suggest always ends up having a crappy game. So I'm going to leave that up to you. But I'd be a liar if I said I wasn't curious.

	One of my all time favorite comedies was finally released on blu-ray sometime last year. They still want over $20 for it, but I picked it up when I had some Amazon credit. This movie is a riot. I’m a sucker for dark comedies & this one is just so much fun. Side note: why is this movie R-rated? The violence is nothing you won’t see on broadcast T.V. & there’s like one single F-bomb. The only thing I can think of is, Amanda Peet is topless very briefly in two scenes. The MPAA is silly sometimes.

	@00slim I love Unforgiven. Eastwood is a brilliant director. The cast is superb; Eastwood, Freeman, Hackman, Harris etc..In my opinion Tombstone was pretty good but not in the same league as Unforgiven...but I'm a big Eastwood fan.

	Oh, I totally forgot to share this one! I’d heard a lot of good things about ’Alone in the Dark’ (1982). The cast is pretty strong & I’ve wanted to see it for a long time. The problem is, the DVD is out-of-print & you can’t even rent it on Amazon Prime. Well, I finally found it on e-bay for a reasonable price. It was above average for its genre, but I wouldn’t call it a classic or anything. It’s essentially a Slasher, but it builds like a slow burn Thriller with Slasher elements. It’s worth checking out if you’re a fan of the genre. I’ve since found out it’s on YouTube in HD. Go figure.
