This ties with "The Thin Man" as my favorite movie! It was the first Duke movie I saw, and that may be why I like it so much. But the acting is great (Robert Mitchum was a great actor), and there is plenty of action and gun play. It's also very funny in parts. Most consider "Rio ...( read more)

In the company of films like "The Searchers" and "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance", "El Dorado" tends to be overlooked, but it shouldn't be. It doesn't have quite the scope of Duke's more famous westerns, but it's damn good all the same. Duke is at his shootin', drawlin' best, a...( read more)
Pretty much a remake of Rio Bravo, by the same director, starring the same lead. Still good though.
The Perfect Western. Howard Hawks, John Wayne, Robert Mitchum, Saloon Fights, Shootouts, Purple Mountain Majesties and so on, you get the picture.
A brilliant movie which basically works due to the great acting of its lead characters, especially John Wayne and Robert Mitchum, ...( read more)
This is one of my personal favorite westerns by John Wayne. . . I also like the casting of James Caan and Robert Mitchum, too. . .
This was a pretty solid western, one I enjoyed more than I thought I would. What I liked about it were the interesting characters and the fact it was nicely filmed, as westerns tend to be. People focus on the big stars of this film and often miss how good the visuals are in here....( read more)

The fruitful partnership of John "The Duke" Wayne and Howard Hawks (that spanned over a number of decades) produced several utterly fabulous additions to the Western genre. Red Riv
Even though it's Rio Bravo again, I like this one better. Always stop and watch it when I'm channel surfing.
I've only become a John Wayne fan in the last 5 or 6 years or so, but I've yet to see a western or war movie of his that I haven't liked.
That said, I think this is probably my most favorite western I've ever seen.
UPDATE: This is still one of my most favorite westerns, but Th...( read more)
A satisfying western that excells everywhere a western should. The shootouts are action packed and the acting is supurb. Of course, that's what you get when you put Wayne, Caan, and Mitchum in the same movie.
Another Wayne classic. However, I can only give it 4.5 stars because its essentially a remake of Rio Bravo with Robert Mitchum replacing Dean Martin & James Caan filling Ricky Nelson's boots. I will say though, Ilike El Dorado's final gun fight better than it's counterpart's.
Caan and Mitchum make this a better movie than Rio Bravo, which is basically the same story.
It's really the same storyline as Rio Bravo, but all in all, still a good movie
This is pretty good, and worth seeing, if, for nothing else, a glimpse of a really young James Caan.
This is a fav! I saw all these oldies with my dad on saturday afternoons, and it was a treat. I still love them all.
Picking a fav John Wayne was difficult but this would be it. Robert Mitchum also stars and these 2 just fill the screen with their presence
