> Hell, it’s not even the best western of the last 15 years. That honour goes to _Unforgiven_ (which, by the way, I think is the best western since _The Wild Bunch_ (which I still think isn’t as good as Peckinpah’s earlier _Ride the High Country_, but I digress)).

I’d have to rank _Tombstone_ and _Silverado_ up there with the best westerns of all time, and certainly of the last 20 years.
