Hey! Say something we ALL don't know! Lol. There's maybe 2 or 3 parts that an actor was not only born for but just literally knocks it out of the atmosphere. Val as Holiday, Heath Ledger as the Joker of course, & Christoph Waltz as Hans Landa in Inglorious Bastards. Sure, there may be a few others but these 3 come to mind. Ok, I HAVE TO ADD: Peter Dinklage as Tyrion Lannister.

Agreed, of all the movies that and all the people that win those awards it's never the ones I have on the shelf and most certainly isn't the ones I watch over and over with the exception of the excellent work of Clint Eastwood. Top Westerns of all times: Outlaw Josey Wales, Pale Rider, Tombstone, The Unforgiven, Dances With Wolves and I do like the Costner version of Wyatt Earp. To be fair about it, I like long versions to tell the whole story and I've read as many books about the life of Wyatt Earp as I could find. I'm 5'6" 140lbs, I was a bouncer and I used what I call Wyatt Earp'ism and it worked extremely well. Given the physical frailty and mental dexterity of Doc Holiday, of course he was one of my all time favourites too. There are other great westerns, I thoroughly enjoyed the new Magnificent Seven, for example, but I think those I listed above aren't just some of the Greatest Westerns, they are some of the Greatest Movies ever made, at least, by my account and being 51 years old, I was only 21 when Tombstone was made. Val Kilmer will always be Doc Holiday to me and thus, what a job he did as a great actor.

The fact that Val Kilmer wasn’t even NOMINATED for best supporting actor that year is one of the greatest jokes in movie history

@@arthurneddysmith I’ll brush off your insult because you are obviously an idiot to have made it. But just to be clear, whether you are a student of Shakespeare, Stanislavsky or Strasberg the ultimate test of good acting is verisimilitude. Kilmer studied the dialect of Holiday as well as his character thoroughly and delivered as believable of a portrayal as any I’ve ever seen. He deserved recognition for it. As for the Oscars, it is all about politics and money. Many great performances get snubbed every year. Personally I can’t stand to watch it. My wife was a graduate of UCLA film school. Her classmates included Tim Robbins(an Oscar winner whom she dated at the time) and other working actors and producers. We discuss every movie we watch. But in the end it is a subjective matter.

Val Kilmer's version of Doc Holliday will forever be the benchmark for that character. Kurt Russell made a great Wyatt Earp. Sam Elliott is a national treasure. Michael Biehn is criminally underrated. And R.I.P. to the wonderfully talented Powers Boothe and Bill Paxton.

But what’s wonderful is, many of them gave the performance of their lives in this film. Many have said Kilmer was robbed from an Oscar, but dang if anyone was, it really was Fiennes that year, but I will say Val should have been nominated. But I think what ‘robbed’ him was his reputation- he was impossible to work with, had a sense of entitlement about him.

Agreed. I think Unforgiven making a clean sweep the year before really limited the nominations for Tombstone. There had been so many versions of the same subject matter that it didn't get it's recognition until many years later.

"It's fun to kill bad men". And then he gives that Doc stare. Love it.

I love everything from the love attraction of Wyatt and Josephine to the wonderful character of Doc Holliday. Great realistic dramatic cinema.

Bill Paxton. Vastly underrated and greatly missed.

Totally agree that Val Kilmer should have got an oscar nomination. I just love this film and never get tired of watching it.

The cast was perfect. Rest in peace to those we've lost and thank you for one of my all-time favorite movies . my son's as well

I’ve read the real life Doc Holliday learned of his illness fairly early in his life. It was written both his mother and step brother died of Tuberculosis and was from whom he contracted it. So after watching his mother suffer and die and knowing the same awaited him it gave him much less fear of death. It definitely affected him.

Every character was just perfectly cast. R.I.P. Powers Boothe, another long time great character actor.

I guess a measure of how good these actors and everbody did, is in 2021 this movie is talked about all the time. When it stands the test of time then it was spot on. Job well done, thanx for giving us a classic.

Kurt Russell, Val Kilmer, Michael Biehn, Powers Boothe, Sam Elliott, Bill Paxton, Charlton Heston. can you find a more amazing cast in western film like this ever?

I always did wish he got more credit for the very understated performances he gave. It was so easy to believe he was a cowboy from his looks, to his voice, to the way he moved, it was basically perfect. I like too how he (playing as Virgil) gives that speech about justice and making money off suffering of the people (whether it was genuine or not) was brilliant because of how little that character did and said up to then. Amazing actor and pretty great acting all around. I really can't say I'm a Bill Paxton fan because he just comes off as too goofy, though this role worked in his favor as a sort of a naive and simple guy. Anyway, I'm rambling. Great movie.
