""Tombstone," after all, was only memorable for Val Kilmer's waaaaaaaay over the top Holiday: "Ahhhhm in maaaaaaaah prahhhhhhhhhm." "

Oh I think it had much more than that going for it. Many of the roles were excellent, especially Curly Bill, Ringo and Turkey Creek and Texas Jack. And the picture had flair, energy and lots of momentum.

Though no Clementine I rate it as the best Western since Outlaw Josey Wales and the second best Western since The Man who Shot Liberty Valance. My opinions ya understand.

Oh, wait a minute, I gotta fit The Long Riders in there somewhere. ;)

  by the late GREAT Tim Hardin, called "Unforgiven" that could have been used in the movie. Imagine a new Tim Hardin song, a slow ballad. "as long as I am unforgiven...",
  
  Clint is a Tim Hardin fan, don't know why it did not happen.

  I didn't forget it Tinear. I think it's a good picture but I don't think of highly of it as many do.
  
  I think The Unforgiven by Huston with Lancaster and Audie Murphy was a better movie, kind'a like The Seachers turned inside-out.
