Re: Better Movie?

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.

It's not that strange to hear this from Justin. Many of the things which made A Few Good Men so popular (great all-star cast, memorable lines, interesting but not greatly involved story line, almost-over-the-top-acting by a great actor) were also part of the recipe for success for Tombstone. I bet Justin is also a big fan of Armageddon.
Please, don't take this as a knock. I think Tombstone and A Few Good Men were both very entertaining, and I own both. However, I voted Unforgiven because on so many levels it is simply a much better movie.
Unforgiven blows Tombstone out of the water in just about every dimension of movie making you can imagine: storyline, writing, acting, cinematography, lighting, sound, score, etc. etc. etc.
