| 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. Iām 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 wonāt see on broadcast T.V. & thereās 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 Happy Birthday! Or random date you set on your account. Either way, I hope you donāt die Anyways, I found out Timeline was finally released a few months ago and I should be getting it in the mail tomorrow! It gets a lot of hate but I really enjoyed it and I say this having read the book before there was a movie! Now I just hope 13th Warrior gets a blu ray soon!  |

| Just finished watching Timeline. The movie is a little rough around the edges but I still really enjoyed it. The disc however is basic as all hell. No special features at all, doesnāt even have the audio commentary from the dvd. This kind of thing is always annoying but you canāt really upgrade without losing something | ||

| Just got this in today (itās like $6 on blu-ray on Amazon). There was a discussion in a Facebook group asking which was better: Unforgiven, or Tombstone? Iāve never been big on Westerns, but Unforgiven is quite a movie. It has some legitimate depth. The group was very divided about which was better, and Iāve never seen Tombstone. If it rivals Unforgiven, I figured Iād give it a spin. Iāll watch it tomorrow or Tuesday. Thoughts?  |

 It was a one trick pony show but always hilarious.

| @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. | ||

DWeeB1967 private msg quote post Address this user | |
| @00slim Tombstone is a traditional western and a VERY good one. Kurt Russell and Val Kilmer are both excellent as Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday. Still, it's a traditional western. Unforgiven, as you know since you've seen it, is a movie that DECONSTRUCTS the traditional western. It takes all of the cliches that we've seen in decades of westerns and turns them on their heads. It's also a VERY good movie. In my opinion, it's almost impossible to compare the two since they are really opposite sides of the same western coin. Still, if you like movies, you owe it to yourself to watch Tombstone. I'm betting you'll like it. I selectively like westerns. That is, I tend to be picky about the ones I like. Most of the formulaic westerns of the 50s and 60s bore me. Having said that, I can honestly say that I love both of these movies. Let me/us know your thoughts when you watch Tombstone.  |

Quote:Originally Posted by DWeeB1967 I agree completely. 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. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Tedsaid 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. |

Oh, I totally forgot to share this one! Iād heard a lot of good things about āAlone in the Darkā (1982). The cast is pretty strong & Iāve wanted to see it for a long time. The problem is, the DVD is out-of-print & you canāt 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 wouldnāt call it a classic or anything. Itās essentially a Slasher, but it builds like a slow burn Thriller with Slasher elements. Itās worth checking out if youāre a fan of the genre. Iāve since found out itās on YouTube in HD. Go figure. |

| So, yes, āTombstoneā was a very good Western. Val Kilmerās Doc Holiday was certainly a standout. It did feel a bit long, but never boring. Given the choice, Iād have to say I prefer āUnforgivenā. |
