1. The Day of the Jackal (1973) ***** 2. High Noon (1952) *****
High Noon might be of comparative interest, as a very pared down Western unfolding "in real time" (though not quite); but its central moral dilemma isn't dynamic or interesting enough. I found it very disappointing. I have The Men ready to go.

I didn't see it as a moral dilemma, i saw it as a very true and poignant depiction of the impossibility of true community in a modern world that promotes individualism and the protection of that above all, it is after all an allegory.
