The Great Train Robbery

The Great Train Robbery is notable for the fact that it marked the beginning of the age of the Western film. Released in 1903, it retold the popular story of Butch Cassidy and his Wild Bunch, which took place just a few years before the film was released.

Tombstone

Tombstone, which was released in 1993, featured Kurt Russell as Wyatt Earp and Val Kilmer portraying Doc Holliday. This is a great example of one of the great Western films of the later half of the century. Though it was overshadowed by Kevin Costner’s own take on a Wyatt Earp biopic, Tombstone still holds its own.
