He kinda mumbles the middle word.  The more I watch it.. the more it sounds like "I'm here huckleberry".  Anyone have the DVD handy that can post a .wav of this?

Tombstone was a great film....I was so impressed with Val Kilmner in it...he played a great Doc Holiday and a great "Lunger"!

He actually said, "I'm your Huckleberry"

"Huckleberry" was commonly used in the 1800's in conjunction with "persimmon" as a small unit of measure. "I'm a huckleberry over your persimmon" meant "I'm just a bit better than you." As a result, "huckleberry" came to denote idiomatically two things. First, it denoted a small unit of measure, a "tad," as it were, and a person who was a huckleberry could be a small, unimportant person--usually expressed ironically in mock self-depreciation. The second and more common usage came to mean, in the words of the "Dictionary of American Slang: Second Supplemented Edition" (Crowell, 1975):

I have a wav file of it if ya want it.

Bah, the best movie quote of all times is when Clint Eastwood enters the bar at the end of "Unforgiven".

That entire scene is hard to top actually.

"Yes I am William Munny, and I have killed women and children. I've killed practically anyting that walks or crawls at one time or another. And now I'm gonna kill you."

Loved the "Unforgiven". However, in that final shootout, the editors used film from several different angles and the net result was Munny firing 8 rounds from a six-shot Smith & Wesson break-top revolver without reloading. Moreover, a Spencer Carbine was probably the worst rifle to use for long range shooting. Low muzzle velocity rimfire round, short barrel. Still, this film is at the top of my list.

My favorite westerns (with star rating):

BTW, I'm sure there's a few I have not included that should be here.

The Unforgiven *****
Shane *****
Silverado ****
True Grit ****
She Wore a Yellow Ribbon ****
Outlaw Josey Wales ****
Tombstone ****
Wyatt Earp ****
The Big Country ****
Fort Apache ***
The Horse Soldiers ***
Stagecoach ***
The Searchers ***
Quigley Down Under ***

My regards,

Widewing

Best Western candidate is Rustlers Rapsody.

What other western ever tackled the question of being a confident heterosexual?

The best western is obviously Kurosawa's The Seven Samurai, even though it's more like an eastern or so.
