Yes, to live and die in LA was one of the absolute greats of all time! But please be advised that there is a theme going on in that movie which shows how peer pressure can force someone to do things that they swore they would never do. I'm speaking of the Vukovich character, Chance's partner. At the end of the movie he becomes Chance.
The same theme happens in the 1972 Jeff Bridges movie called Bad Company which was certainly the most realistic Western of all time. You think I'm silly here? Watch Bad Company. Roy, Missouri.
