His Girl Friday (1940) Howard Hawks
I don’t think that rapid-fire dialogue alone makes a movie, but this seems to be one of the best examples, and I enjoyed Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell a great deal. Man, I know this isn’t news or anything, but Cary Grant was really fucking charming. Funny how Russell’s character in this 1940s film is a stronger leading lady character than most of those in modern rom-coms.
This would make a great double-feature with Network. I would watch them both and then sit and cry about the modern 24-hour news cycle.
Also, quite possibly the worst movie poster ever.

Rio Bravo (1959) Howard Hawks
So I’ve also been watching Deadwood, and if that doesn’t get you interested in the Wild West, I don’t know what will. It’s interesting watching Deadwood and then watching the classics, with their comparatively sanitized versions of the west. Although still enjoyable, the classics are just a different breed.
That said, I did really enjoy Rio Bravo. Although a bit overlong, it seemed like a pretty standard Western, nothing that struck me as too daring, with some great characters and some witty banter. Dean Martin and Angie Dickinson were especially excellent.
