I liked DWW but have a hard time categorizing it as a western... more a romantic fantasy based in an old west setting.

I just watched Tombstone on cable the other day.  While not the best of the genre that's a western.

It’s a Western.   That category is broad enough to include romance.   Heck, many, if not most, Westerns are romances/love stories at their core.

If you’re looking toward one closer to stereotype I enjoyed “Open Range”—another Costner piece.  Hard to beat Robert Duvall in ANYTHING.

Which is one of many reasons why "Lonesome Dove" is the best of all western films.

I didn't cry when Bambi's mom died.  The end of that miniseries got me good.  Duvall and Jones were simply amazing.

Technically a mini-series...

I actually never saw the whole thing.  Crazy right?

Tommy Lee Jones is a great actor.   Funny I mentioned “The Missing” earlier in which he stars...

Dances With Wolves is a great movie, my wife hates it. 

I agree that Tombstone isn't a great movie, but it has its moments that are great.  Val Kilmer was great in it, the rest not so much.
