2. Rio Bravo (1959) Rio Bravo is a stylish and influential Western film, made in 1959 and directed by Howard Hawks. It stars John Wayne and Dean Martin with Angie Dickinson, Ricky Nelson and Walter Brennan. The film was successful with both the critics and the public and has become a Western classic. The movie was made as a counterbalance to High Noon in 1952 which famously portrayed one lawmans brave stand against lawlessness. By all accounts both Howard Hawks and John Wayne hated the message of High Noon. Unlike Gary Cooper, the lawman in High Noon, who requests help from his towns citizens, John Waynes character is constantly refusing help, on the grounds that the job should be done by professionals
