Tombstone (1993)
Flashy but not very historically accurate
I know that there are many that will disagree with me, but, the film Wyatt Earp was a better representation of what happen. Russell was too far over the top in his portrayal of Earp and I was far more impressed with Quaid's Doc Holiday than with Kilmer's.
The Sand Pebbles (1966)
McQueen's best ever performance
This is truly my all time favorite film and not just because of the wonderful performances by McQueen, Crenna, Mako and the rest, but because I had an opportunity to experience the Asia culture first hand (during Viet Nam) and the depiction of the culture and the climate of the land is right on. I rank McQueen's performance right up there with my favorite Newman's performance in "Cool Hand Luke". Basically, the same type of a character, a loner challenging the boundries of their society's limits. It was a shame that the movie was released the same year as "A Man for All Seasons", because McQueen should have received and Oscar for this performance. I now own this video and I make a point of watching it once a year.
