3:10 To Yuma is one I've never watched all the way through---not for lack of interest, just because of circumstances. I'll get there one day. Needless to say, no vote.
I absolutely love El Dorado and it's because it's just so dang much fun! The whole cast works for me. Love The Duke and Robert Mitchum team-up and Mitchum has rarely been as comical, especially during the hangover remedy scene. I liked James Caan just fine in the movie, and if he as an actor seemed like a fish-out-of-water in the movie, well, that's what his character was, so he worked for me. I especially loved Arthur Hunnicutt as Bull. That guy was just made for Westerns. One of my favorite Twilight Zone episodes starred Hunnicutt. Michele Carey was sexy as all get-out as the trigger-happy daughter of a local rancher. This reworking of Rio Bravo is my favorite of the three basically same stories that Howard Hawks filmed. And it's my favorite John Wayne Western. Therefore it made it to #2 on my list.
So far:
Hombre Me: 13 The list proper: 88
The Naked Spur Me: 25 The list proper: 86
Ride the High Country Me: 10 The list proper: 63
Winchester '73 Me: 10 The list proper: 53
El Dorado Me: 2 The list proper: 47
