I enjoyed almost all the dialog in Tombstone (1991) with Kurt Russell, et al:

Doc Holliday: [after killing Johnny Ringo] It would appear that the strain was more than he could bear.

Wyatt Earp (after slapping around the Billy Bob Thornton character): Skin that smoke wagon and see what happens!

Not great art, but a very enjoyable movie with loads of good lines.

Indeed. My personal favorite: after Doc beats Ike Clanton at poker yet again, Ike accuses Doc of being "too lucky."

Doc: "Why, Ike! Maybe poker just isn't your game. I know -- let's have a spelling contest!"

Most of R. Lee Ermey's lines in "Full Metal Jacket"

Did you see the recent episode of animated series "Father of the Pride" where Ermey made an appearance as the voice of a hard-ass exercise-coach bunny who sounded exactly like a certain drill sergeant? It was HILARIOUS..

Haha, yeah, that was great. Or this:

Billy Clanton: Why, it's the drunk piano player. You're so drunk, you can't hit nothin'. In fact, you're probably seeing double. [Clanton draws a knife; Holliday takes out a second gun] Doc Holliday: I have two guns, one for each of ya.

Doc Holliday: It appears my hypocrisy knows no bounds.

I never got the impression that it was a widly popular movie, but I think it's one of the better westerns made in the last decade, far better than the Costner Wyatt Earp movie, which I didn't make it all the way through.

"Tombstone" actually has a cult following; it even has a Yahoo! on-line fan club: Tombstone Lovers.

As a kid, I used to live in Sierra Vista, about 30 miles from Tombstone and became steeped in the lore of the place. I grew up thinking of Doc and Wyatt and Virgil as people I almost knew. When I first saw "Tombstone", it was like those imaginary characters come to life. It was uncannily real to me.

I agree -- a great western and a great film. I would put it in my top tier of westerns, right up there with "Rio Bravo", "The Magnificent Seven" and "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance."

Thanks for the link, it's bookmarked.

I've wanted to travel that area, haven't happened yet, but it's on the list...

Great list, I especially enjoy Rio Bravo. I also would add True Grit, The Unforgiven and possibly Silverado but I haven't seen that since it first came out and I suspect my tastes have changed.
