So the serious posts are going nowhere and the post on "Illegal search and seizure" went off on a SyFy tangent I introduced so I'm going to post something that I feel strongly about.

Rio Bravo is far superior to El Dorado.

Sure, they're both about the Duke helping a drunkard sheriff with the help of a youngun' and an old coot, but other than that, there's no comparison.

Drunken Sheriff
ED:Robert Mitchum
RB: Deano
Big win RB

Youngun
ED James Caan
RB Ricky Nelson
Win RB, although it's close and I could be convinced it goes the other way.

Old Coot
ED:Arthur Hunnicut (who?)
RB:Walter Brennan
Big win: Stumpy (Bull is cool and all, but really. It's Walter Brennan)

Bad Guy
ED:Ed Asner
RB: John Russel (who?)
I give the win to RB, Asner just isn't believable as a head bad guy trying face up to the Duke.

And last but certainly not least
ED:Charlene Holt (who?)
RB: Angie Dickinson
Huge win Feathers

So that's one close win, one win, two big wins and Angie Dickinson when she was hot enough for Sinatra.

That's a big win for Rio Bravo.
