7. McLintock! (1963)
The power couple for the win once again! This time John Wayne and Maureen O’Hara play exes who get on each other’s last nerves—but deep down, they truly love each other. But before they realize that, lots of drama, hilarity and hijinks will ensue. In the story, rancher GW McLintock has his troubles—corruption, Indians, gunfights and, most frightening, the return of his high society ex-wife, who wants to finalize their divorce, and take full custody of their 17-year-old daughter, who incidentally has fallen for one of her dad’s ranch hands. What could go wrong?
