Better Movie?
 

I chose one and coworker chose the other. Was forced to conduct a poll.


Discuss!

Wow, there's actually people out there who like The Unforgiven better? Tombstone and it's not close.

unforgiven and it's not close (i mean that seriously). i know i'm in the minority on this, but i thought tombstone was a steaming pile of crap. unforgiven, however, is amazing. so good on so many levels. i can't believe anyone would choose tombstone over unforgiven.

IIRC, Unforgiven won an Oscar, Tombstone did not. I haven't seen Unforgiven so I voted for Tombstone, but basically Tombstone is a guys (cult) film.

Many levels indeed. They are two very different movies, and comparing them is like comparing Caddyshack and The Godfather.

Unforgiven is moving, artsy, and all that. As was stated, it won an Oscar. However, should a western really be Oscar-worthy?

Tombstone is one of the best "you f'ed with me, now I'm really gonna f' with you" movie with great action sequences and "hey that's a pretty cool line" acting, coupled with the novelty of being based (VERY loosely) on a true story.

The question depends on the friend. Personally, I usually would prefer to watch Tombstone, but that's only because thinking is for suckers.

Holy crap people, how does Tombstone have that many votes. Unforgiven is an incredible movie... it did win Oscar for um, best picture. Tombstone is good, but seriously, it's not in the same league as Unforgiven.

I'm in the camp that says Unforgiven won the oscar because of Clint Eastwood as sort of an award for his lifetime acheivements. Not to mention 1992 wasn't a very strong year. A Few Good Men should have won.

Val Kilmer was excellent in Tombstone, he carried the film. Tombstone was a good movie(the love story in it was lame)... Unforgiven was brilliant.
