i don't think thats heresy at all

one of the few re-makes in history IMO that equals if not surpasses the original...

"I do not know this man...' Big Grin

so many great scenes in that

love this one:

Agreed. I love John Wayne, but the Coen Bros version is better, and is completely faithful to the book.

My favorite scene is:

Tombstone...thats a big one I overlooked, who hasn't seen that one either.

I’ve never watched it. Tried a few times, but felt that it is Hollywood crap.
Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday were both extremely young, and way younger than the aged actors plYing them.

The Searchers.
3:10 to Yuma.

Doc Holliday was 30 when the OK Corral shootout happened. Val Kilmer was 34 when he played Doc in Tombstone.

Similarly, Wyatt Earp was 33 at the OK Corral. Kurt Russell was 42.

Well, Russell looked way older, and it was still Hollywood shit Wink

That would be Maria Gomez as "Chiquita". Oh yeah! "She never says: no."

Had a chance to watch several westerns as this holiday season is rolling out. Among one of the ones I watched just today was Chisum with John Wayne, not too shabby, I was surprised that Billy the Kid and Pat Garrett made a showing.

I'm a sucker for any western. Probably saw my first one about 70 years ago. Easier to mention the ones I disliked. Walked out of Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid. Did the same with the Brad Pitt movie about the assassination of the outlaw, Jesse James. Both were like watching paint dry.
