Rio Bravo is my #9, never left my top ten ever since I first saw it as a kid. Love the nostalgia it brings with it, the atmosphere, the technicolor,
Angie Dickinson, and the song. Classic western that I wasn’t expecting to show up this early. The song also didn’t do so well for me when I nominated it in one of Chypmunks song tournaments. Possibly the film has lost a bit of popularity over the years.
Recently saw
El Dorado (my #30) on bluray, don’t know if they did something to enhance the picture but the colors were really popping off the screen, the film and charlene holt looked absolutely amazing. Definitely worth checking out if you enjoy this era/style of western.
