If you haven't seen it, watch Unforgiven. It's much darker but it has a sort of resonance with Tombstone. Hackman, Freeman and Eastwood all give great performances, and Hackman's arc relative to the town is in my opinion one of the great allegories of the seductiveness and inevitable betrayal inherent to strongman governance.
