I agree that the song in Rio Bravo is absurd, but it doesn't break up the movie the way "Raindrops" does in Butch Cassidy. Plus, I like to pretend that the song drove the casting, and I think both Nelson and Martin are brilliant in their roles. In fact, the cast is so good that it's six deep with people I love to see, and then scrolling even further down, there's Harry Carey Jr. and George Bell. Amazing.
Having recently watched Rio Bravo, I definitely have to vote for Bridge.
The additional story line of how pride leads the British officers to build the bridge, a well built bridge for their enemy and captors is something that seems emblematic and reflective of some things within domestic politics inside the US today.
If ever there was a competition for “what my Boomer dad will watch on the Sunday 3:25pm UHF channels ‘Afternoon at the Movies’” slot, this is it.
I picked Rio Bravo to win here in my bracket, but I'm voting for River Kwai because it's head and shoulders the better film. Truth to power! :)
Having just recently watched Bridge on River Kwai, I was really torn between the two.
I went for Rio Bravo, as I feel that Bridge drags on a little and the finale, even if spectacular in terms of action, seems a little silly in terms of what we see on the screen and the demise of the main characters.
Rio Bravo has a great ending and it is not as long. And the song that Adam and Josh are so fond of, has become a classic for me as well.

Rio Bravo is a high quality entertainment but Bridge on the River Kwai is a darkly comic antiwar masterpiece.
Maybe it’s just recent bias, but Rio Bravo wins a close one. Maybe if I watched Bridge on River Kwai more recently it would win, but I ain’t got time for that. Sometimes that’s how it goes.
