There's not a single line of wasted dialog in this movie.


Watching Tombstone for 10,000th time and it really struck me how meaningful every line of dialog is. Nobody is just shooting the shit or wasting time with filler and nonsense. It's all character building, or plot building, or going somewhere. There's no fluff. There's no silly one liners and dumb jokes. It's a really incredible screenplay.

Given that the original cut was like 4 hours, that's impressive. Nowadays they'd just release the whole thing or split it in half.
