Sands of Iwo Jima and John Ford's cavalry trilogy - Fort Apache, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon and Rio Grande - are all tied for second place. The twins, El Dorado and Rio Bravo, are sentimental favorites. Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery. Hit the target, all else is twaddle!

I'd say either The Shootist or Big Jake. The shootist is a better movie... but I have a soft spot for Big Jake. That was the first movie I remember watching with my dad, he let me stay up late to finish it. My mom was working the night shift (nurse).

Wish he was still around....... If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice. Doug
