2. John Wayne as Thomas Dunson in Red River (1948)
Mind the generation gap: after ignoring the sound advice of his adopted son, Matt (Montgomery Cliff), Thomas Dunson leads a grueling cattle-drive across the Chisholm Trail that incites rebellion among his crew. When Matt finally takes over the expedition, Thomas vows to kill his son for disobeying his orders and promptly makes a move on the guy's new girlfriend. In an age before therapy, that's got to hurt.
