Re: Better Movie?

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.

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.
