YMMV / 3:10 to Yuma (1957)

• Magnificent Bastard: Outlaw leader Ben Wade is willing to remorselessly shoot through one of his own men being used as a Human Shield. Despite this, Ben is quite polite and tender with a barmaid he romances. After robbing a stagecoach, he's nice enough to tell the nearby town that the passengers are stranded in the middle of the desert. He keeps his gang Crazy-Prepared about what to do if any of them are captured. He tries to threaten and bribe his guard, Dan Evans, at various points, but also deeply respects his honesty and feels a sense of gratitude when Ben saves his life from a vengeful relative. At the end of the movie, Ben foils his own gang's jailbreak so that Dan can survive and collect his reward, but confidently notes that he's broken out of Yuma before.
• Tear Jerker: Poor Alex Potter, the town drunk is not only shot in the back. He's also hanged by Wade's men, for no reason other than to frighten anyone else who might get in their way.
