True Grit
Frank Ross is murdered by one of his own men for a little money and a horse. His daughter, Mattie, aged fourteen, sets off in pursuit of the killer, Tom Chaney. She recruits Rooster Cogburn, a US Marshal to help her in her endeavour, and with much bickering, they set off on Chaney's trail.
Great, really funny dialogue in places, makes me want to watch both movies again.
Score: 8.5
