True Grit (2010)
The spirit of a long tradition made new again. The Coens’ least original work, and maybe their best.
Western
A Fistful of Dollars: Slow-Burn to Greatness
A frontier samurai movie. The best stares in the business.
Rio Bravo
In Hawks’ film, death threats roll off Wayne’s boy scout smile like rain off an imperious old duck; characters are named Feathers, Stumpy, Colorado and Dude. Rio Bravo doesn’t have the best upbringing, but nothing can stop it from being the best “hangout” in all the movies.
