    has anyone seen frontier marshal with randolph scott,if my memory is right my darling clementine is a kind da remake of frontier marshal,but i stand corrected if i wrong.


    Nope, but considering I'm making my way through the Randolph Scott westerns catalogue and all of them have been good or great i'll certainly see if I can find it!

    Both films are very different from each other, both are fantastic and high points in the genre.
    I may go as far as saying I think my darling clementine is John Ford's best film, that'll get you all going on the forum!
    Tombstone is a modern take on the story and has the career best performances IMO by the two main actors: Kurt Russell and Val Kilmer.
    Both films deserve all the praise they get.

    My favourite non-Duke western of all time,
    can watch it over and over again.
    Kurt Russell was brilliant
    but completely outplayed by the excellent Val Kilmer.


    Couldn't agree more.
    I love the start with the voiceover. and with the last line:
    "They called themselves, The cowboys" the music starts and the screen fills.
    This gets me every time!
    I want to go and watch it now!

    Watched Tombstone with Kurt Russel and Val Kilmer, was a fine a modern Western as iv'e seen and even had an apperance from Dobe Carey in there! Was a great story well paced and had both touching scenes and scenes of great action. Had a little bit of something for everyone in there.


    I wholeheartedly agree. I was fortunate enough to see this at the cinema on release quite by chance and was blown away. Far, far better than I was expecting and one of the great modern westerns.
