The Quick and the Dead

I'm fond of westerns, and The Quick and the Dead might have been the first I ever saw, a long time ago. 

It stands up okay, I guess - it's not difficult to watch anyway, aided by the inherent drama of the gunfight competition that structures it, the range of acting talent of various kinds on display (Sharon Stone, Gene Hackman, Leonardo DiCaprio, Russell Crowe, and a host of fairly memorable others in supporting roles), and the flashes of visual flair in the direction and cinematography.
