I mean, is STAGECOACH. Honestly I'm more of a Hawks man and this isn't even close to my favorite Ford (WAGON MASTER, if you're interested) but it's a glorious upping-the-ante in the archetype department, one that held on through spiritual and formal innovators like Mann and Peckinpah, and oh man those stunts and well it just rips. Thomas Mitchell in this might be my spirit animal.
