Rio Lobo is one I've not seen. I've tended to put Hawks' Westerns to one side (despite really liking Rio Bravo) because I tend to think his style never really fit with the genre. It has a quite jazzy snap to it (especially his comedies) that seems to work better in more urbane, sophisticated settings, rather than the more romantic, rough and ready rural setting of the Western - although that can't be said of a film like Only Angels Have Wings (a sort of Western with airplanes) which may well be my favourite Hawks film of them all. I'll definitely put Rio Lobo on my 'to see' list.
