TOMBSTONE Best Scenes

Tombstone

Best Western movie ever made. I've got it on a DVD and a Disk. It never gets old. Thanks for posting.

Latin Exchange

In case you ever wondered what the Doc Holliday and Ringo Latin exchange was all about:



Also, I read a great book on Doc Holliday's early life and his later involvement with the Earp's. Although it doesn't go into the OK Corral shootout, it is very illuminating about the man. (F'rinstance, did you know that Doc fixed Wyatt's front teeth? Also, Doc had a respect for Mort and a brotherly love for him because he liked to read? Contrary to the movie, Doc died in the sanitarium with only Kate by his side, not Wyatt. Doc was better friends with Mort than Wyatt.)

The book is a good read!

My ex-mother-in-law used to live in Tombstone so I had to visit from Texas all the time to satisfy my ex-wife. Town is nothing but a tourist trap but does still have the same gossiping and internal battles behind the scenes. They even had a proposition going on every year to turn the streets back to dirt to help make the town feel more like the old days for the tourist. I doubt it ever passed but I've not been there for years so have no idea. I did enter their beard growing contest for Helldorado Days each year that I did go back there. Never won.Some of these guys can grow a ZZ top type in 8 months.

I didn't have a chance. Helldorado days is still going on. There are pictures of me in some peoples stack of photos somewhere. I used to go to the Crystal Palace where the tourists couples would ask if they could get a picture with their wife sitting on my lap. That would be followed by a beer. I'd stay never buying a beer myself until I could barely walk and stumble three blocks to where my ex-mother-in-law lived. Sorta sounds like the good old days typing this but it wasn't. There is that ex factor.:whiteflag:Now is the good times.:biglol:
 
I like watching old movies just to see how many mistakes or other things in scenes I missed the first second or third time I watched it.

For off the wall comedy I've watched Airplane at least 10 times looking for what I've missed. And I sure missed a lot the very first time I watched it. I'm down to, it's just plain silly, so I think I've caught everything now.



But I'll watch ANY western again and again.

I liked the movie a lot. And I also read and liked the book "Doc", recommend it. I like westerns, movie or books. Hard to pick a fav, but Lonesome Dove is near the top of my list.
