Okay, so I forgot maybe one of the best movies EVER and that's "Tombstone". Man, there's a wealth of stuff in that show!

"Are you going to do something, or just stand there and bleed?"
"And so she walked out of our lives forever"
and of course,
"I'm your huckleberry. And that's just my game."


I actually got to see Tombstone over the summer and they still have the pool table where Morgan was shot. Boy, the whole place was a lot smaller than I thought it would be. I don't mean the town so much as the buildings. We ate lunch at one of the gambling halls that they used to frequent. Not the Oriental, but another one. Don't remember the name.

Another great movie I know half the lines to is "Maverick" LOL If you haven't seen that one, check it out. It's written by William Goldman who wrote the movie version of "The Princess Bride" and also "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid". In fact, he credits his father reading him TPB when he was a kid to his whole life path. He discovered good literature and that made him want to read. The intro to TPB explains it all and the intro to the 20th Anniversary edition goes further and explains why he's not allowed to adapt the sequel, "Buttercup's Baby". (Steven King is supposed to do it) Check them out too, they're both worth reading. Goldman can really relay the story to you.
