Rio Bravo (1959) 5

John Wayne was great as sheriff John T. Chance and when you add in Dean Martin as the drunkard "dude" it made for a great film.

What, no mention of Angie Dickinson's 'Feathers'? Still, director Howard Hawks made best use possible of all of the indispensable elements of the classic Western: law-and-order; the enduring against the odds, on principle; flawed main characters; strong frontier women; snickering villains and ne'er do-wells; a rousing shootout; etc. Director Fred Zinnemann's 'High Noon,' George Stevens's 'Shane (and not so Clint Eastwood's rip-offs of it),' Anthony Mann's 'The Naked Spur' and John Ford's 'My Darling Clementine' or 'The Searchers' may deservingly be more celebtrated, but little is wanting in this script (Don't bother with Hawk's 'Rio Lobo'). So comforting to again have a meeting of the minds with Louie. (Owe you some comments.)
