Rio Bravo (1959)


"A small-town sheriff in the American West enlists the help of a cripple, a drunk, and a young gunfighter in his efforts to hold in jail the brother of the local bad guy."

Long before "Titanic", "The Lord of the Rings" and modern blockbusters, there was Rio Bravo - one of the most popular movies in the genre. It features a classic plot where the sheriff (John Wayne) tries to defend the order in the town, similar to "High Noon" but in a more lighthearted manner.

Another distinct feature of the movie is that it stars two musicians - Dean Martin, and Ricky Nelson who was immensely popular at a time.
