3:10 to Yuma (1957)


I can stare at shadows harder than you can, Pardner!

As westerns go, this one is an interesting character study and a tribute to holding fast to ones' values. There is a point where the family man has the prisoner in his home for dinner and his son asks the mother if they are going to say grace before the meal, (since there is a bad man joining them). The mother calmly explains that "grace is for everyone." Which is pretty much the point of the movie.
