Rio Bravo

John Wayne, Dean Martin, Ricky Nelson, Walter Brennan, Angie Dickinson star in this 1959 western from Howard Hawks.

A western classic.

Lawman and his deputies, including a drunk and an old man, try to hold a murderer in their town's jail 'til a U.S. Marshal arrives while the killer's brother makes life difficult for them.

Strangely cohesive mix of action, suspense, and humor. Everyone in the cast does a fine job...especially Dean Martin.

No Way To Treat A Lady

1968 film directed by Jack Smight stars Rod Steiger, Lee Remick, and George Segal.

Great blend of murder mystery and romantic comedy. Film has real personality.

New York cop with mother issues (Segal) is dating new girlfriend (Remick) who just might be the next victim of a serial killer (Steiger).

Rod Seiger is great as a very theatrical killer. Segal is always good. Great supporting cast too.

Fun, funny, and suspenseful.

The Haunting

I think this is one of the scariest movies I have ever seen...and I didn't see anything. No blood, guts, violence. Just sheer suspense. This is how a thoughtful, smart, intelligent horror movie is made.

1963 film directed by Robert Wise stars Julie Harris, Claire Bloom, Richard Johnson, and Russ Tamblyn as a group of investigators looking into a house that is reportedly haunted. All have some claivoyant abilities or have experienced some paranormal events during their lifetimes. But no matter what they have experienced before pales when compared to what they encounter at Hill House.

Put aside the usual expectations for this genre...it will surprise you, entertain you, and frighten you.
