You know what's a great f'n movie.
Tombstone.
Re-watched it tonight and it might be my favorite western. And the cast is unreal. You remember Kurt Russell, Val Kilmer, Sam Elliott, Michael Biehn, Powers Boothe, Bill Paxton, but then you have guys like Jason Prisetley, Billy Bob Thornton, Thomas Haden Church and a very young Michael Rooker popping up. Even Terry O Quinn from Survivor .
Kilmer should have at least been nominated for best supporting actor. This was the year that Tommy Lee Jones won for the Fugitive, which was a fun role, but not really nuanced at all. Other nominees were Leonardo DiCaprio (What's eating Glen Gulutzan), Ralph Fiennes (Schindler's List), John Malkovich (in the line of fire), and Pete Postlethwaite (In the Name of the Father).
I would say that Fiennes should have won. And I would have Kilmer #2 just ahead of Postlehwaite.
That gives me an idea for a thread.
