Guess I forgot to state my favorite earlier. You can include me in the Liberty Valance camp. Critics questioned Ford for filming in b&w at the time but, I think time has proven that he knew what he was doing (as he usually did).
Several of my other favorites have been mentioned already so I'm going to list one that never makes anyone's list: Wake of the Red Witch. Similar in some regards to Reap the Wild Wind (some even claim it was knock off), the Duke plays more of an anti-hero role. The Batjak shipping company from the film was the origin for Duke's Batjac film company. The spelling being slightly different with a c instead of the k due to a typo.
