Tombstone

Tombstone, which was released in 1993, featured Kurt Russell as Wyatt Earp and Val Kilmer portraying Doc Holliday.

Though it was overshadowed by Kevin Costner’s own take on a Wyatt Earp biopic, Tombstone still holds its own.

The Lone Ranger was one of the most beloved characters for generations. Played by Clayton Moore, along with his sidekick Tonto, played by Jay Silverheels, the two became the go-to Cowboy and Indian duo that inspired racial harmony. Of course, whenever “William Tell Overture” plays we can’t but think of the masked ranger.
