Tom Mix and Wyatt were good friends. Bruce Willis made a movie where he played Tom Mix and he and Wyatt Earp solve a murder mystery in Hollywood. It is called Sunset. Hard to find but a great movie.

2022-01-24 04:03:26 +0000 UTC2014 was Bill's swan song with his transformative performances as the Staff Sergeant from Science Hill and the senior freelance videographer Joe Loader in Nightcrawler. Two of his finest performances.

2022-01-23 20:15:29 +0000 UTCWe try to mix it up on the schedules and polls but we here you! This one is definitely highly recommended! -Sam

2022-01-23 19:29:33 +0000 UTCI have! One of those films I actually watched a ton as kid but I’ll have to check with Daniel 😊 -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2022-01-23 19:27:55 +0000 UTCIt’s on the list! What a great cast! -Sam

2022-01-23 19:25:47 +0000 UTCI think these are all on our Western List, but I’m going to double check! It’s a long list haha -Sam

2022-01-23 19:25:11 +0000 UTCOh wow! Well me too -Sam

2022-01-23 19:24:19 +0000 UTCWe didn’t know who Charlton Heston was before this 😬 -Sam

2022-01-23 19:23:53 +0000 UTCPoor Bill 🥺
TBR Schmitt
2022-01-23 19:23:14 +0000 UTCAgreed! That’s super interesting, but I guess you always need the protagonist vs antagonist. Bill was in Edge of Tomorrow?! Why don’t I remember that. Time for a re-watch 😊 haha we’ll be played a turd in True Lies, also 😂 -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2022-01-23 19:22:55 +0000 UTCI was doing a workshop in UCLA in the early 90s and one of the people who came to speak to us was MARK HARMON and he actually mentioned the two productions going on simultaneously and he was really cocky about believing that the Costner version was going to be the one that was going to be the more well respected version, but alas, Tombstone is the version people still talk about to this day. But that's how strong that rivalry was, so strong that Harmon was telling a bunch of film students about it during a speaking engagement, lol.
Jason Dolan
2022-01-23 19:22:10 +0000 UTCIt’s on the list! If memory serves from the comments, I think this movie was being suggested as films that Bill Paxton makes it out alive, which I’m all for! -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2022-01-23 19:20:52 +0000 UTCInteresting! I like this theory a lot -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2022-01-23 19:19:18 +0000 UTCOh wow! We’d seen comments about the kind of rivalry between the films but I had no clue the film also had a stacked cast! -Sam

2022-01-23 19:16:02 +0000 UTCDefinitely! Once we get to it we plan to watch them in order! -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2022-01-23 19:15:14 +0000 UTCAwesome! Thank you for this detailed list! -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2022-01-23 19:14:51 +0000 UTCYou really do hate Ike’s character in this movie, but that just proves what a great actor Stephen Lang is!
Ken Adams
2022-01-23 04:14:00 +0000 UTCIt was so great to see you two recognize so many actors but miss Charlton Heston who probably had more recognition in 1993 than all the other actors combined.

2022-01-22 19:26:19 +0000 UTCOkay I really enjoyed this movie version of the story of Wyatt Earp (mostly for the performances) but it is really historically inaccurate. A better version of the story of Wyatt Earp for more detail and a bit closer to the truth is the Kevin Costner led Wyatt Earp. I have had an obsession with the story of the Earps and Holiday ever since I discovered it happened on my birthday. Well 106 years to the day to be exact, October 26th, 1881. At least it said that it was behind the OK Corral and not at the OK Corral. Definitely recommend Wyatt Earp as a movie to watch, even if it's not on the channel. It's pretty long, including credits it clocks in around 3 hours. It goes into way more detail about the Earps lives, long before and even after. He stayed with Josephine Sarah Marcus (the actress) from 1882 to when he died in January of 29. Morgan's Widow turned out to be the one to live the longest, passing away in 1947.

2022-01-22 00:56:48 +0000 UTCI do admit a movie like a million ways to die in the West is a bit silly but I personally still enjoyed it. When you say these, you can't possibly mean all of them because that would be a whole lot of terrible movies
Terry Lee
2022-01-21 02:10:38 +0000 UTCthese are terrible , but everybody has their favorites
Mike Lipke
2022-01-21 01:16:33 +0000 UTCthe follow up should be Wyatt Earp with Kevin Costner

2022-01-21 01:14:50 +0000 UTCLaudanum.
Catherine LW
2022-01-20 16:57:00 +0000 UTCBill Paxton makes it to the end in Twister 😁
Meg Perry
2022-01-20 15:42:14 +0000 UTCIf you want to get into some slightly older westerns any Clint Eastwood ones are great. Unforgiven is considered a classic and a must see, and Pale rider is a stand out in my opinion. On a side note, Wyatt Earp eventually became a movie star, and a later famous movie star cowboy, John Wayne, worked on a lot of his sets.
Meg Perry
2022-01-20 15:41:32 +0000 UTCDamn that Colt Peacemaker of Wyatt's is awesome 😮
Anakin Starkiller
2022-01-20 09:47:52 +0000 UTCThe Cowboys were just gunslingers the Earrp's had law experience backing them , they knew how to handle weapons and how to use them.
Anakin Starkiller
2022-01-20 09:43:08 +0000 UTCLodinum was the equivalent of heroine today . They would use it to help soldiers pain back then or with pain. But the means of giving pain medicine was primitive . People would have to swallow it and it wasn't fast working. Some people were addicted to it much the same as people are addicted to Oxy to get high or for long term pain. I don't know if Wyatt's wife had any long term pain so it must have been an addiction.
Anakin Starkiller
2022-01-20 09:16:53 +0000 UTCGreat Bill Paxton movies? Ez pz. A Simple Plan (1998). It's a "drama". But good luck getting that voted in over the next several years :S Perhaps the patterns of recommendation being followed here aren't necessarily conducive to y'all watching the best or even the most anticipated films...
Uncle 'Traveling' Matt
2022-01-19 06:42:39 +0000 UTCHave you all seen Twister? That's a good Bill Paxton movie for you.
CallMeWheels
2022-01-19 04:34:04 +0000 UTCMore underrated Eastwood westerns: Joe Kidd and Two Mules for Sister Sara. But I'm a huge Eastwood fan so I may be biased.
Mitchell Smilie
2022-01-19 04:15:58 +0000 UTCA list of westerns I highly recommend, El Mariachi (1992), Desperado (1995), Shanghai Noon (2000), Once upon a time in Mexico (2003), 310 to Yuma (2007), The Magnificent Seven (2016), The Hateful Eight (2015), Brimstone (2016), Forsaken (2015), Bone Tomahawk (2015), The Ridiculous 6 (2015), Last Man Standing (1996), A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014), Django Unchained (2014) Cowboys vs Aliens (2011), The Last Stand (2013), Blackthorn (2011) The Mask of Zorro (1998), and a animated movie with Johnny Depp called Rango (2011) just because it's a high-quality fun adventure worth watching :P
Terry Lee
2022-01-19 04:00:22 +0000 UTCGreat reaction, great movie. Looking forward to more Westerns, I haven't seen all that many either, especially older ones. I will say "Unforgiven" ( with Clint Eastwood, not the one called "The Unforgiven", which I haven't seen) is my all time favorite (so far), "Tombstone" would be second. There's not nearly as much action but I love the detail and realism, the performances and writing are great. Not to spoil it but when you guys were remarking how the cowboys kept missing at seemingly close range it reminded me of something from Unforgiven, where a character explains how it's a misconception that the faster gunfighter is the better gunfighter, it's actually steadiness that matters more in a real gunfight. They say in the military "smooth is fast", pretty much the same concept.
Joe D. MacGuffinstuff
2022-01-19 03:11:47 +0000 UTCI also recommend The Proposition (2005) and Old Henry (2021). Old Henry just came out last year. Also, the 7-episode Netflix series Godless.
Scott Kerr
2022-01-19 00:40:49 +0000 UTCFor another great Western with a killer cast may I suggest Silverado (1985). It stars among others, Kevin Kline, Scott Glenn, Kevin Costner, Danny Glover, Brian Dennehy and Jeff Goldblum. It’s beyond entertaining.👍
Jim Tatro
2022-01-19 00:39:42 +0000 UTCI'm sure you have a lot of movies on your list but just to throw out my quintessential westerns: UNFORGIVEN BUTCH CASSIDY & THE SUNDANCE KID DJANGO UNCHAINED A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY HIGH PLANES DRIFTER TRUE GRIT (Coen Bros Version) THREE AMIGOS THE HATEFUL EIGHT SILVERADO DANCES WITH WOLVES YOUNG GUNS YOUNG GUNS II THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES BY THE COWARD ROBERT FORD CITY SLICKERS MAVERICK THE MISSING THE TREASURE OF SIERRA MADRE 3:10 TO YUMA (2007) THE POWER OF THE DOG THE WILD BUNCH ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST THE SEARCHERS STAGECOACH PALE RIDER THE OUTLAW JOSEY WHALES RIO BRAVO THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN (1960) THE QUICK AND THE DEAD
Jason Dolan
2022-01-18 23:27:24 +0000 UTCI've been to Johnny Ringo's death location. Pretty interesting story. Mixed reports on how he died. One says he died just like in the movie, another story is that he went to that location to commit suicide. One bullet to the head and one bullet shot from his gun. I like the movie's version! :) Ha!
Philip Alan
2022-01-18 23:08:49 +0000 UTCYou missed Charlton Heston as Henry Hooker, too. The crazy thing is that the shootout at the spring actually happened (though the movie increased the drama). The real Wyatt Earp had nerves of steel, which is what made him so dangerous.
Jonnygadfly
2022-01-18 22:55:47 +0000 UTCBill also made it through TRUE LIES
Jason Dolan
2022-01-18 22:34:36 +0000 UTCA Simple Plan is amazing. Also, ONE FALSE MOVE
Jason Dolan
2022-01-18 22:33:36 +0000 UTC"How come Bill never gets to live?" Truer words have never been spoken.
Jason Dolan
2022-01-18 22:31:27 +0000 UTCGreat reaction. I think the fan favorite is Val Kilmer for everybody, although I really liked Sam Elliott and Michael Beign too. Tombstone is based on real people and events, but they really whitewash the Earps and vilify the Cowboys. It was mostly a political battle between town interests vs ranchers and landowners, but Wyatt really did unleash holy hell and go on a vendetta killing spree. Alsom to answer your question about Bill Paxton living through movies, try Apollo 13 or Edge of Tomorrow. There's also 80's Weird Science, but he plays a turd in that one.
Jen Barnes
2022-01-18 22:26:07 +0000 UTCNot gonna lie,I am now a little bit worried that Sam is going to show up to the next reaction with chewing tobacco and a spit bucket 🤠 As for the Bill Baxton recommendation,it would have to be "A Simple Plan (1998)" Bill Paxton,Billy Bob Thornton,it is highly regarded by audiences with ratings of 7.5/10 on IMDb and 91% Rotten Tomatoes and is a hidden gem of a movie
Duncan
2022-01-18 21:33:59 +0000 UTCFalling into the story of the movie (because in real life Doc did not kill Ringo) I’ve always figured that the reason Doc wins at the end is he is basically free from fear. They’re pretty closely matched (Ringo’s gun is out and cocked when he’s shot) but Ringo doesn’t want to die; whereas Doc knows hes going to die soon anyway, so he doesn’t have the nerves about the fight that Ringo does. I’d even say he WANTS Ringo to kill him, almost begging him to “Come on!” and finish him instead of letting tuberculosis wear him away, but only after he’d saved Wyatt from Ringo.
Warren H
2022-01-18 21:25:43 +0000 UTCAnother fun fact about the cast of TOMBSTONE and how you keep noticing it is stacked with half the actors in Hollywood... well, simultaneous to this movie, Kevin Costner was making WYATT EARP and the OTHER half of Hollywood starred in that. https://letterboxd.com/film/wyatt-earp/

2022-01-18 18:47:32 +0000 UTCGood recommendations
Smooticus
2022-01-18 18:46:30 +0000 UTCI agree!
Mr. Writhms
2022-01-18 18:22:23 +0000 UTCAlso Great Clint Eastwood movies are "Play Misty For Me" from 1971 and " The Eiger Sanction " from 1975
Florian Meier
2022-01-18 18:07:34 +0000 UTCGreat Reaction and what a Great Performance from Val Kilmer !!! Another Great suggestion from Val Kilmer is "The Ghost and the Darkness" from 1996 with Michael Douglas ...
Florian Meier
2022-01-18 18:04:39 +0000 UTCThese are all classics ... I also like "Hang Em High" from 1968 !!! I hope they do a series with all the Great Clint Eastwood movies one day !!!
Florian Meier
2022-01-18 18:03:13 +0000 UTCI would start in order with the Dollars trilogy
Abbraccia
2022-01-18 17:30:30 +0000 UTCI look forward this dive into the western genre! Like you have done with Schwarzenegger and Stallone, you can do a series of Clint Eastwood westerns. I recommend (in this order): "The Outlaw Jose Wales” (1976) “High Plains Drifter” (1973) “Pale Rider” (1985) “Unforgiven” (1992) Those are the best of his Hollywood westerns (IMO), all directed by Eastwood himself. Then you could possibly go into his Italian classics and others.
