Rio Bravo (Howard Hawks, 1959) (rewatch)
Hawks is one of those guys whose talents you appreciate so much more the more you watch. First off I don't think you could get any sense of the immensity of his talent from just watching one film. But even once you're familiar with the Hawksian je nais se quoi it pays to keep watching for the minutiae of timing and movement that make his movies bubble so vivaciously. The ultimate American termite artist.
