Inspired by comments in this thread. Which film do you prefer and why if you feel like elaborating. I like both but personally prefer the darker, claustrophobic and more subversive tone of High Noon. |

Rio Bravo, but it's been awhile since I've seen either one.

High Noon.
Rio Bravo is rather rambling, specially with the intermittent Angie Dickinson love interest.
I saw RB in the theater when I was about six. About thirty-five years later I rewatched it and things came back to me. I thought they were going to start throwing dynamite. Then I thought they were going to bundle a few sticks with a bandana.

High Noon.
easily.
Rio Bravo probably doesn't make my top 20 John Wayne movies.

Definitely 'High Noon'. Tense, tight, taut, meticulously crafted like a Quartz watch mechanism. Philosophical treatise on the end of civilisation.
I find 'Rio Bravo' rather leisurely and don't care for the casting of certain roles. I prefer some of the films it's inspired, notably 'Assault On Precinct 13' (1976).

Rio Bravo easily; it's one of only a handful of westerns that I like, and the only John Wayne movie I like.

High Noon all the way. Rio Bravo tends to be the Western film that non Western loves seem to like a lot. I prefer El Dorado of the Wayne/Ford siege trilogy.
