All My Movies: Tombstone 

The worst thing to do when playing a bad guy is to play a bad guy - Michael Biehn Sums up so much of his methodology as an actor

You could do a episode for just the mustaches in this movie.

Val Kilmer definitely deserved a lot of credit for his performance in this movie as Doc Holliday. But Michael Biehn as Johnny Ringo gave a great performance also that not enough people talk about.

Val Kilmer did not get nominated for an Oscar. Crazy.

One of the greatest unsung elements of this movie is the Foley work and the sound design. Holy crap. Not just the action of the revolvers but every little sound from poker chips to water splashes. It really gives the movie a visceral quality.

Dan, I'm never going to forgive you for making me aware of the rain, or lack thereof!

Everyone was great in this movie… But Val Kilmer was a GOD in this movie !

Thanks for sharing, Dan! Tombstone is one of the few movies I am just never ever tired of -- such a rich cast and I'm so glad it started getting the love it's deserved.

On the road to 100k! Can't wait to see that closet VHS, Dan. Oh yes, we remember......

As an AZ native, I can in fact confirm it does sometimes rain on one side of the street and can be clear on the other

I love Tombstone, especially like the Johnny Ringo and Doc Holliday face off in Latin, and love Doc’s cup spinning. Michael Biehn was fantastic as Johnny Ringo, doesn’t get enough credit for his contribution.

Well this convinced me to give Tombstone a re-watch

How Dan talked about his mom passing down her movie taste to him. It reminded me how I got into the film by my own mom the same way. She bought the VHS version, raved about Val Kilmer's performance and it being her favorite Western. When I was old enough I watched it. Bought the DVD then upgraded to Blu-Ray once it was available.

I saw this movie in the theatres back when released and love it to this day!!! Great review!

The film is pure magic, completely rewatchable and one of my favourite of all time

I saw this movie because Val Kilmer is in it. I loved it so much even though I don't usually like westerns. I really recommend watching movies because of some reason besides the plot/genre of the movie just so you find something new. Last year i watched all the academy award nominees and I found some very, very good movies that I would otherwise had never seen. I also like to watch movies by actor (like this one) because if the movie is bad (cough cough I Saw the Light from 2015) at least you have someone pretty/interesting (Tom Hiddleston) to watch and to make it less bad. Really, just pick your favourite actor/actress, randomly pick a title and watch it, it will 9 out of 10 times be worth it.

I always read Doc Holiday’s last words as him seeing lights as opposed to Morgan who did not.

I love this movie. Val Kilmer is doing his own biopic movie which is coming out soon. I can’t wait to see it.

i love, LOVE this movie so much. this was a great deep dive. thank you so much.

So happy you put this one out there. I’ve always loved this film.

I went to school with a "Tom Stone". It took all of my strength not to call him "Tombstone" or make a silly pun.

It’s interesting to learn the history of these movies and how close some of them got to either not being made or having different actors and directors take over. Thank you for the info and explaining it all in a way that’s really enjoyable to watch.

Thanks for the vid. Great show.

You talking about your mom introducing you to Tombstone really touched me. My mom did the exact same thing with me and has introduced me to so many of her favorite films which also end up being my favorites. Film folklore like this is something that will allow the truly great films like Tombstone to live on forever.

I love how much I learn in these episodes. Thanks for all the hard work, Dan!

Fantastic job on this. I didn’t know about 80% of what you covered. Very informative!

I’m absolutely watching this again tomorrow. It’s been on my watch list for a while and this has given me the kick up the bum I needed. Thanks Dan!

Wow, just listening to Val Kilmer and Michael Biehn talk about acting is amazing.

Thank you for being the Lenard Molton of our time. Introducing and discussing the history of modern classics to people who wouldn’t otherwise know without doing a bunch of crazy research ourselves.

Great episode!

This was a great episode this week!!!

Thank you for this show absolutely love it.. Most movies I have seen. And when your talking about one I haven’t I cannot wait to watch it so I can listen to the show.. Tombstone has being on my to watch list for so long, after I saw the notification for your show going home and watching it right away

I went to Tombstone, AZ this past December, and it is really cool seeing the movie use a lot of the real outdoor scenery. It is a fun place to visit, and the movie is quite good as well.

This is my dad's favorite movie

Fantastic western and review!

One of the most fun and quotable movies of all time! My friends and I quote it regularly to this day. Great breakdown!

I absolutely LOVEEEE this movie. We used to watch this VHS (yes) until it wore out!

I rewatched this earlier this week because it's my uncle's favorite movie and it was good birthday, so I watched it in his honor. This has been a favorite of mine since I was a kid because my uncle loved it so much. One generation passing it to another. Val Kilmer's performance is one of my favorite performances of all time. I own the Director's Cut DVD, I have but updated to bluray yet. Great breakdown, Dan.

Once again Mr.Murrell you’ve outdone yourself 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽👌🏽 Love this film, one of the last Great western stories ever told in cinemas. 🎞 How it never garnished any accolades recognition from the academy is such a shame.

This video SLAPS! Reminds me of my youth and how FANTASTIC this movie is. Glad to see Dan putting some respecc on it.

Saw Tombstone on opening day (Christmas 93). It was epic

I think Dan is the only RU-vidr I know who timestamps even his ad's. Thats a pretty cool thing to do

Excellent video

Ok it's a little bit of a reach but......growing up I've actually been in rainstorms where it was pouring on one side of the street and bone dry on the other. Also I've always felt that the rain pouring down on a bloodied Wyatt was the character's baptism and absolution and therefore fitting to be localized around him.

One of my fav movies for sure

Great review as always Dan Murrell! Now please review No Sudden Move, Soderbergh’s latest film!

Dan, I have a copy of the director’s cut version with his commentary, enhanced for 16x9 tv’s if you want it. I can mail it to you.

I hope we get an extended version like you’re saying could happen in a 4k release, that would be so cool.

I have watched this movie at least 10 times..& I’m never disappointed..it’s all about the brothers & Doc Holiday. The Costner movie was a shadow of this movie. Russel & Kilmer did the damn thing!!!

I literally rewatched this last night! Second favorite western (only second to the original magnificent seven). I Love hearing the story of the making of the movies

I'm not a big Tombstone fan but this was a get review it gives me so much understanding of this film

I love this movie, and it's been too long since I've seen it. I think I'll remedy that very soon. Thanks Dan!

I want 2023 to see a 4K scan of this film with the theatrical film and a new reassembled longer cut. I want the director's commentary and scattered various interviews that chronicle the making of this troubled, brilliant movie. In short, I want at last the definitive Tombstone. It only took 30 years.

Dan I gotta say, I got through about an hr of Tombstone. To the part where Kurt tells his wife they should get a room when she's drinking her medicine, after he spent some time with the other woman and their horses. And he's just like "nevermind forget about it" and the whole love story took me out so I just shut it off. It's one of my friends favorite films so I asked to borrow it. Seeing you say that it's a weakness of the film makes me feel better and validates my feelings about it. But you also makes me feel like I should give Tombstone another try.

I watched this a year ago because of the doughboys podcast and it’s also become my favorite western

Val Kilmer is the most memorable performance in the movie. He deserved the Oscar.

As a coin collector I always appreciated the period accurate Morgan Silver Dollars on the poker tables. A tribute to the authenticity of the film!

Tombstone is a great Western, loved it. Remember back then when there wehre two Wyatt Earp movies about to come out and everybody was looking forward to the Kevin Costner Movie only to find put Tombstone was the better one.

Tombstone is my favorite movie period, western or otherwise and I don't really care that much for westerns.

One of my favorite movies of all time.

One of the best movies of the era.

I didn't know the scene used for the end credits was deleted from the approach to the shootout. When I first saw it, I couldn't help but compare it to the end credit music video at the end of "Buckeroo Banzai" (which also featured a character who died during the movie).

Best All My Movies so far!

Such a great movie!

I was the Armorer and gun coach. I enjoyed working on it

My favorite western!

Hi Dan! Really love All My Movies. I have always thought that the love interest story always got in the way. It was nice to hear someone else say it too. Didn't hate it but just found it unnecessary. Thanks for your channel!

Yeah, one of my favorite moves!!!

Damn. I love this movie, and I had never noticed the rain machine issue before! I'll just do my best to forget about it. :)

#Release the Tombstone directors cut. I've said for years that Val Kilmer Doc Holiday performance was worthy of an Oscar. I'm your huckleberry. So good.

Speaking of amazballs Val Kilmer performances, I would love for you to do an AMM episode on Heat. That bank shootout scene alone can be a whole episode

One of the most quotable movie in history.

Can't think of a more rewatch able movie then tombstone

This movie slaps so hard

Love this film! Love the romance between Wyatt and Josephine. Wyatt was not a saint. Tombstone is a great western/film.

Also a Scene were doc holds Wyatt can be seen on the Back of the Dvd Cover

You probably already know this, Dan, but just in case, there's a lesser-known movie called 3000 Miles to Graceland which stars both Wyatt Earps -- Kurt Russell and Kevin Costner -- as two Elvis impersonators. It's not especially good or anything, but I always think about it as a burying of the hatchet on what is probably an only-in-my-mind feud between the two actors. It's especially delightful because Kurt Russell also played Elvis in a biopic when he was younger AND he played the voice of Elvis in Forrest Gump! Anyway, just some weird trivia that I thought might interest you.

This is my favorite movie of all time.

I literally just watched this

The directors cut is a lot of fun

Dan please do an "All My Movies" of Die Hard

The only time I ever bought a VHS when it was first released. Studio VHS tapes were EXPENSIVE(!!!) back then! $99.00!! I loved the movie so much though, and I so wanted to turn my girlfriend and my other friends on to the movie, that I bought it just to show it to them!

Please do an episode about Unforgiven 🙏

This is my second favorite western. I don’t have the same complaints as Dan, I think the love story added to the movie. Watched it a million times and never noticed the rain thing. I don’t notice those things in movies I like. My only complaint is the narration at the end; I could not care less that some actor cried at his funeral. I make sure to stop watching or change channel after we hear they stayed together and before the whole actor crying line. Take out the last one or two lines and the movie is perfect, otherwise it’s 99.98 out of 100.

There is just one thing that makes me mad, the fact that I can only press the like button once. Great review.

This is a top ten movie in my book

The aristocratic Southern accent may be rare, but it can still be found. I ran across a few old gents in Charleston, SC., who sound a bit like Foghorn Leghorn but classier.

I don't like Westerns, but I still think this movie is a masterpiece.

Dan, just a note: "Vajna" is pronounced as "Vy-na" (rhymes with "my nah"). :) It's a Hungarian name. Anyway, I watched this when it came out, and really liked it, despite barely knowing who the characters were (I'm not American). I think it's time to watch it again!

Top westerns for me, Hateful 8, True Grit, Good Bad and Ugly, My Name is Nobody.

“Contact” by Robert Zemeckis could use a good breakdown.

I appreciate Dan’s commitment to pointing out that in the ‘90s MTV Movie Awards often are a better guidepost to what would stand the test of time than the Oscars…minus Most Desirable Male Billy Baldwin…yikes! But they did pick Pulp Fiction over Forrest Gump for best picture…just saying!

I’ve never seen this so I’m stopping 20 minutes in, be back soon

It's good but George 's best is Escape To Athena!

Even if you just continue this show as an audio only podcast it will be worth it.

If no one knows what the drawl sounds like, no one knows if you're making it up! But Holliday was from Georgia and Hollywood seems to think that Georgian is THE official Southern accent... it's hard to believe they only had ONE tape for Kilmer to practice on. He sounded credible nonetheless.

A perfect fim

Stephen Lang who played Ike Clanton was drunk throughout the three month shoot. Now THAT'S method acting.

I always wondered why they did that bit after Doc shoots Ringo where Doc beckons Ringo to walk towards him as he dies. Just seemed weird. 🤨

Alpha film !!!
