TJL's Doc Holiday Shootout! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TJL · 05-31-2004, 12:07 PM

Okay folks, I've got a grudge match to settle...

For years my roommate and I have argued about this, and it's up to you film fans here at Sitcoms Online to settle it for us.

Who was the better Doc Holiday?

My roomie (who knows nothing about movies) insisits that Val Kilmer's portrayal of the legendary gunslinger in the George P. Cosmatos action fest "Tombstone" is the best.

I on the other hand think the best Doc Holiday ever seen on screen was played by Dennis Quaid in Lawrence Kasdan's "Wyatt Earp."

Now I'm not trying to sway your vote in any way, but keep in mind that Dennis Quaid dropped over thirty pounds off his svelte frame to play the sickly Doc Holiday; a much more accurate portrayal if you ask me.

Well, you're right. Dennis Quaid. No contest.

Sadly, the first thing that always comes to mind when I think of that fine film Wyatt Earp is the name of Catherine O'Hara's character. It makes me laugh every time. Allie Earp!
