John Wayne Movies what's your fav.?
I'm a big fan of the Duke
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 Boxing, a beautiful hot tempered Redhead, a little of the Irish thrown in! Doesn't get any better 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.

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

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

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. |

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.

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.
