When giving a toast, if someone drains their glass and then turns the glass over and thumps it onto the table, it means "That's it - toasting is over." It's a way of saying "That was the best toast today" or "I totally agree with that statement."
That's a matter of opinion. Some would consider it True Grit because he finally won an Oscar, but Sands of Iwo Jima he was nominated and it is a classic. But then so is "The Quiet Man", "McClintock", "The Shootist", "Big Jake", and those are just a few. The Searchers is the best movie the Duke ever made.
James Caan wasn't in Rio Bravo. You're thinking of El Dorado. James Caan says he and Wayne got into "an altercation" during a break filming that movie -- over a game of chess.
Kenne Wayne
That horse was the director's idea. He was very flashy but was an airhead and John Wayne hated him. I think this was the movie where JW backed that Appaloosa over a wooden bridge. I don't know if this is correct but I think they had to replace that horse 1/2 way through the filming because it was such an idiot. add: I'm thinking the director was Howard Hawkes and I had heard that he actually owned that particular horse. Don't know if that is true or not.
They say John Wayne. (Though I'm honestly not sure who They are.)I believe that would be "Ahmed Sharif" of Bangladesh. He starred 565 movies so far and still going. He plays bad guy in the movie.
