What's your favorite Wyatt Earp Movie?

[Aristus]

6. I spent three years of my childhood an hour's drive away from Tombstone.

Used to visit every few months, and grew up engulfed in the myths, legends, and the realities of the famous gunfight.

So when I saw the movie "Tombstone", instead of the usual "That's wrong, that's wrong, and that's wrong" I usually do at historical films, I was able to say "That's correct, that's correct, and that's correct" a lot. The film did get a number of things wrong, and embellished others. But it was the closest to the real thing of all the films that have been made of it.

I'm still waiting for a filmmaker to have the guts to include a scene of Doc Holliday's actual reaction to the gunfight. He returned to his hotel room, sat on the bed, told his girlfriend Big Nosed Kate "That was awful", and burst into tears. It probably wouldn't go over well with the enthusiasts of Western man's-man legends.
