Nice, Gary Cooper's greatest roll is High Noon.

The first damn shot in High Noon (1952) is Lee Van Cleef.

Lon Chaney Jr (cedited as Lon Chaney) - he's actually pretty good as an aging, former lawman.
Katy Jurardo's verbal beat down of Lloyd Bridges is awesome:

Earlier Gary Cooper - (L-R) Robert Preston, Gary Cooper, Susan Hayward (first credited role), and Ray Milland, Beau Geste 1939:
Edward Arnold, Barbara Stanwyck, Gary Cooper, Walter Brennan - Meet john Doe 1941

An influence on the OK Corral shootout in Tombstone, I'm guessing, though it's been used so many times in Westerns, who knows...

Political Correctness, #MeToo, Free Range Kids... Current 'pet peeve' is warning labels/lawyer speak. Unmitigated risk aversion is the new Puritanism; complete with witch hunts, funny outfits, and humorless preachers thundering doom. The name of the Deity is changed to Safety; the name of Satan is changed to Lawyer; but the object is the same: to suck the life out of life and tell you how to live it.
Sorry for getting so far off topic.

So the story with Tombstone (1993, starring Kurt Russell, Val Kilmer, Sam Elliot, Bill Paxton, Powers Boothe, Michael Biehn and Dana Delaney) is that the director, George P. Cosmatos, was fired, and Kurt Russell stepped in and directed the film. As a result, he shifted the main focus of the film away from Wyatt Earp, though his character and relationships get considerable screen time, and onto Doc Holliday and his relationships, especially re: his mistress and Wyatt.
As a result, the new directing and editing gave Kilmer the vehicle to display what I think is the finest acting of his career.
And Ringo. his decimation of Ringo throughout the film is flipping epic.

can you explain why the last one is on that list?
"How to raise safe, self-reliant kids without going nuts with worry" and "Children deserve unsupervised time" sounds pretty good to me.

Sure. Society's 'control' of how people raise their kids is the excessive part. I'm a free range kid from 50's America, before that style of parenting needed a name.
Which led into the risk aversion thoughts.

Not at all; truth be told I stole it from somewhere I can't remember now.
