John Wayne in Rio Bravo.Mary Evans Picture Library/Warner Bros./Everett Collection In a story that could be apocryphal, but probably isn’t, just before the great British-Canadian critic Robin Wood died in 2009, he dictated a list of his favorite movies to a close friend. At the top was [Howard Hawks’](https://entertainment.time.com/2013/05/30/howard-hawks-hollywoods-proud-professional/) [_Rio Bravo_](https://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,810926,00.html). What a way to go. In this perfect western—this perfect movie—John Wayne is an aging sheriff named Chance who takes a stand against a gang of criminals with the help of a deputy with a bum leg (Walter Brennan), a barely-dry and still shaky recovering alcoholic (Dean Martin), and a baby-faced, guitar-strumming youngster (Ricky Nelson). A wanted woman named Feathers (Angie Dickinson) also happens to be shimmering around Chance’s periphery, stirring up a different kind of trouble. Though there are shootouts in _Rio Bravo_, the picture is short on action and long on talking. Some see this as a flaw, but if you’re a certain type of person you will gravitate all your livelong days toward those who think of the dialogue in _Rio Bravo_ as the kind of trail that makes a movie worth following from beginning to end. (The script is by Jules Furthman and Leigh Brackett, from a story by B.H. McCampbell.) This is a movie of second chances and cowboy songs, of “worthless” people who prove their worth beyond gold, of the only certainty we can ever trust in: there is nothing certain in this world. What more could you ask, or want, from a movie? ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Article","@id":"https://time.com/collections/100-best-movies/6295252/rio-bravo-1959/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/collections/100-best-movies/6295252/rio-bravo-1959/"},"headline":"Rio Bravo (1959)","datePublished":"2023-07-26T11:32:40.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-05T06:58:41.892Z","description":"","url":"https://time.com/collections/100-best-movies/6295252/rio-bravo-1959/","keywords":[],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltfce44d57113c5f6e/698a3ef1457a527961d67cd8/top-100-movies-1950s-riobravo.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Stephanie Zacharek","jobTitle":"Film Critic","url":"https://time.com/author/stephanie-zacharek/"}],"creator":"Stephanie Zacharek","articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltfce44d57113c5f6e/698a3ef1457a527961d67cd8/top-100-movies-1950s-riobravo.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/collections/100-best-movies/6295252/rio-bravo-1959/","name":"Rio Bravo (1959)"}}]}] ```
