If you’ve ever seen The Pacific or the gone too soon series Rubicon, you’ll know James Badge Dale has leading man potential.

John Huston and Paul Newman are cinematic icons, so it’s a crying shame that 1972’s The Life And Times of Judge Roy Bean doesn’t get as much love as it deserves. The feature is currently available via Warner Archive, and the images (it went through a 2K restoration) look absolutely clean. As for the five reasons, I love the film . . .
