If we can get back on topic for a moment...
yes indeed, Wyatt Earp is an overlooked movie... much more historically accurate than Tombstone ever was. And Tombstone was another movie that damn near never was. Huge issues in the early days of production basically creating a mutiny with the crew, actors and director. Kurt Russell won't get credit, but he basically directed Tombstone.
And while Kilmer's depiction of Doc Holliday, to go with his relationship with Earp, was so much fiction, it is a performance that will test time. Nobody can say Val Kilmer "mailed it in" on Tombstone. His performance in that film is on point. But I would say Dennis Quaid's portrayal is every bit as good and totally underrated and overlooked in Wyatt Earp. Damn shame the films overlapped.
That said, Robert Duvall is awesome. Gene Hackman is awesome. And those old boys won't be around much longer. Nobody can replace them. They are both happily retired, but boy do I miss seeing their mugs on the screen.
Also... Waterworld is a good movie! Practical effects! And vintage Dennis Hopper as the ridiculous villain!
