Tombstone (1993)

Ahh, Tombstone is a classic, one that’s near and dear to my heart personally. This wonderful film is based on events that happened in Tombstone, Arizona, which include the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral and the Earp Vendetta Ride, during the 1880s. It beautifully depicts many western outlaws and lawmen, like Wyatt Earp, William Brocius, Johnny Ringo, and Doc Holliday.
