Gunfight at the O.K. Corral

On this day in 1881, outlaws Billy Claiborne, Ike and Billy Clanton, and Tom and Frank McLaury got into a gunfight with lawmen Virgil, Morgan and Wyatt Earp, and Doc Holliday near the OK Corral in Tombstone, AZ. Three of the outlaws were killed. It has become one of the most famous shootouts in American history.

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

1) Tombstone
2) Wyatt Earp
3) My Darling Clementine
4) Gunfight at the O.K. Corral

Hendricks is good, but I'll have to test further.

Tombstone for the fun
Wyatt Earp for factual authenticity.

Kinda-sorta both had some fun, some authenticity, and some inaccuracies. However, I think that Tombstone's costumes, weapons, and gun leather was top-notch, far exceeding Wyatt Earp.
