3:10 to Yuma

Having recently watched it on DVD, I have to echo Courtney's recommendation.



Like most great films it has a relatively simple plot: A damaged war veteran (Christian Bale) volunteers to help escort a charming but psychopathic bank robber (Russell Crowe) across country and put him on the 3:10 to Yuma, a prison train. Between them and their destination lies both Crowe's gang and hostile Apaches. I'm not a big fan of westerns, but it's well worth watching for both the breath-taking scenery and mesmerising performances from Bale and Crowe.
