Now the big question, which movie was better ???

1) Tombstone
2) Wyatt Earp
3) My Darling Clementine
4) Gunfight at the O.K. Corral
You have the order correct there, SDiver.

Tombstone is a mere shadow of the 'fun place' it used to be in the early to mid-70s.

As to 'historical accuracy' in either, well, it helps to the one who lived the longest and wrote the most about it... as Wyatt did.

When my HS history students would ponder why we should study history, this event was one I would mention. It lasted mere seconds, took place over 100 years ago, and people still argue vehemently about it today.
