10. Bonnie and Clyde (1967)

And the latest piece of Earpsploitation is Virgil's Corner. Now a boutique B&B, it was once the home of Virgil Earp. Virgil was the kingpin of the Earp family. When things reached a head with the Clanton gang, he deputised his younger brother Wyatt and his friend "Doc" Holliday to help him sort things out.
