John Wayne Movies what's your fav.?
 

I'm a big fan of the Duke :yes:

Loved True Grit and all of his Westerns...

But for me, I just fell in love with the Quiet Man!

One of his best films and one I can watch over and over again :yes:

Boxing, a beautiful hot tempered Redhead, a little of the Irish thrown in!

Doesn't get any better :no:

So what's your favorite and why ?

BTW did you notice we have a new forum :)

Lessee, prolly "True Grit", but "Donovan's Reef" was pretty entertaining too.

I lik 'em all, but The Quiet Man may be my favorite as well.

Ah yes, the quaint town of Innes Free.......a classic!

The Shootist, The Cowboys, McQ!! :pistols:

El Dorado or Rio Bravo; they're kinda interchangable. Prob'ly give the nod to El Dorado with Robert Mitchum & James Caan. Mitchum & Wayne made a great team -- Foe

the shootist,,without question

Also like the Queit man, closely followed by The Searchers and She wore a yellow ribbon. John Ford and the Duke... a winning combination.

Lets see...My #1 favorite John Wayne movie....is..in no particular order...

Like you said...The Quiet Man....

In Harms Way...

The Shootist...

Mclintock..

Chisum...

Rooster Cogburn...

And others...

These 2 are my fav too. I have watched El Dorado many times, just a good movie with great char. :thmbsp:

Lee Van Cleef is the most unheralded American "Western" actor of all time!

To be honest, I have NEVER made it through a John Wayne movie without flipping the channels. Something about that post-war stone-faced acting puts me to sleep. Oh, yeah...it is probably the stone-faced acting that does it!

BUT, if I had to choose, it would be HUD, because that is what Al Bundy likes.

The shootest

My favs in this order:
#1 Big Jake <I loved the scene when Richard Boone says, just before he dies "I thought you were dead", The Duke replies, "not hardly">
#2 The Shootist <Classic bad-ass John Wayne>
#3 True Grit <The shootout at the end when he held the reigns in his teeth, while holding 2 rifles, classic John Wayne>
#4 Donovan's Reef. <Lee marvin was a hoot, and the fight scene was a classic.>

There will never be another Duke, as well as Steve McQueen, William Holden, Burt Lancaster, and the likes. I fear we will never again have so many great actors at the same time, ever again.

Agreed....the screen actors today are just sooooo.. mundane...everything has to be either boobs...or a prettyboy...

Acting and or .........(for lack of a better term).........'Johnwayneism'....just isn't in the mix anymore...

The dumbing down of our culture at its best there....and it is getting reel dumb...no wonder the forigners laugh at us.....

Don't have one. Can't stand the bloke. Too much chest-beating americanism for me.

I would prefer to watch Clint Eastwood or Lee Van Cleef as mentioned earlier.
