Hollywood is filled with underrated gems that only get better with time, and Val Kilmer’s 1993 Western, Tombstone, is one of them. It’s gritty, highly quotable, and somehow still manages to fly under the radar when people talk about great Westerns, despite the positive reviews. Directed by George P. Cosmatos, Tombstone is the kind of film that deserves every bit of praise it gets, and Tom Cruise seems to agree.

A full-blown cinematic phenomenon in himself, it is safe to say that Tom Cruise knows a thing or two about deserving films. After all, the man who gave us characters like Maverick and Jerry Maguire is someone whose opinion we hold in high regard. Here’s what he has said about Tombstone.
