I can't believe no one mentioned: The Quick and the Dead (1995 Film)
Starring:
Sharon Stone
Gene Hackman
Russell Crowe
Leonardo DiCaprio
The Quick and the Dead is a Western film directed by Sam Raimi, released in 1995. It stars Sharon Stone, Gene Hackman, Russell Crowe, Leonardo DiCaprio, Lance Henriksen, and Keith David. It also marks the final film appearance of character actor Woody Strode. The script was written by Simon Moore.
Plot summary
The Quick and the Dead follows the course of a single elimination gunfighting contest held by John Herod (Hackman). Herod is a former outlaw and murderer who rules the small town of Redemption, Arizona, with an iron fist. Herod sponsors the contest with one goal in mind - to eliminate anyone who might pose a threat to him. The contest attracts a variety of contestants, including several outlaws, an adventurer (David), a Swedish gunfighting champion (Sven-Ole Thorsen), a trick shooter and braggart (Henriksen), Herod's alleged son (DiCaprio), and a mysterious woman (Stone) bent on killing Herod. It is revealed through a series of flashbacks that Stone's character is no crusader or savior; her mission is one of personal vengeance. As a young girl, Herod manipulated her into killing her father (Gary Sinise), the town's marshal. Herod also sends his henchmen to retrieve a man named Cort (Crowe), a fellow outlaw retired to life as a missionary. Cort is publicly tortured and humiliated when he refuses to recant his mission of non-violence, and is ultimately forced into the contest. He and "the Lady" (Stone) find they have a common enemy in Herod and devise a plan to kill him and free the town from his oppression.
This film bears no relation to Louis L'Amour's western novel The Quick and the Dead nor the 1963 film.
My favorite Character:
Fee Herod aka "The Kid" (Leonardo DiCaprio)- Fee claims to be the son of John Herod. Herod denies he is the boy's father, claiming his wife (Fee's mother) had an affair with a farmer, although he does seem to show a bit of affection for Fee, displayed by his many attempts to get Fee to drop out of the contest. Fee makes a living as the town's gunsmith and enters the tournament hoping to earn his father's acknowledgment and respect. He develops a crush on Ellen, and although she claims the opposite, she deeply cares for him and is greatly saddened when he is shot and killed by Herod after wounding him in the neck in their gunfight.

It was good, but it wouldn't make my top 5. I would never pick Leonardo DiCaprio over Gene Hackman in any movie. Gene Hackman's character pretty much has to be my favorite character in any movie he's been in because it was probably the best acted character in the movie. Not that Leonardo DiCaprio isn't a great actor himself. Russell Crowe on the other hand is a horrible actor, thanks for not calling him your favorite character.

Russell Crowe can't be that bad. He did win an Academy Award and a Golden Globe Award. But I like Leonardo DiCaprio's portrayal of "The Kid." Arrogant little boy thinking his the fastest

Gladiator was a horribly overrated movie and Crowe's performance was comparable to Mel Gibson in Mad Max.
DeletedUser
OJ! Don't go messing with Mad Mel! However bad his acting may have been, the Road Warrior is an epic.
DeletedUser
The best movie in my opinion has to be 'The treasure of sierra Madre' Which has John Huston's Dad in the lead role, and Humphrey Bogart at his best!
DeletedUser
I love Mad Max, no insult intended, but it's not going to win Mel an Oscar (or even a Golden Globe). Maybe a better comparison would be any movie where Sean Connery had an accent. Russian submarine commander?
I'll give Russell Crowe credit for his acting for one movie: A Beautiful Mind.

I agree with you. I'd rather see one of the good old fashioned western movies. And I think Clint Eastwood is the best western movie actor of them all. I would buy or rent a few, but I don't currently know where the closest Blockbuster movie store to me is.
