McClintock or True Grit. I've always liked McQ also because I saw it with my dad and I loved the Trans Am in that movie.

Not a Wayne fan but men like Ford and Hawks made good use of him. Stagecoach, The Searchers, Red River, and The Long Voyage home are the favorites.

"The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance."
John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, Lee Marvin and directed by John Ford. (Most critics consider this Ford's greatest work.) Also, as a bit of trivia, the title song sung by Gene Pitney and written by Burt Bacharach was recorded for the movie, but rumor has it that Ford didn't like it and left it out. However, it was released independently and reached #4 on Billboard the same year that the movie was released (1962). ***** - rogerebert.com 93% - Rotten Tomatoes From Classic Film Guide: Quote:

Too many to choose from. I've been a BIG fan ever since I can remember. He was my hero growing up. He was my favorite actor of all time. Wayne took care of his acting friends also. You repeatedly see them in his movies; Ben Johnson, Victor McGlauflin, Ward Bond, Maureen O'hare ect. I have a picture of him, that my wife allows me to hang in the bedroom. Not many women would allow that kind of decor.

This movie does not have John Wayne, but it is one of my favorite westerns.
The Big Country starred Gregory Peck, Charlton Heston, Burl Ives, Chuck Conner, and Charles Bickford. It was 'epic'. As for Wayne, I'll cast a vote for Liberty Valance.

I'll probably go with The Shootist (1976). I've been meaning to check out the book for years, but I've never gotten around to it.
I'm a big fan of westerns, but oddly enough, I never liked John Wayne. He always seemed to sleepwalk through his movies. I hated the way he delivered dialog too; almost as if he were just reading the script aloud in a bemused sort of way. He never acted like his characters were concerned about their predicaments so I never felt much concern as a viewer. p.s. If anyone is a fan of his movie "The Searchers" do yourself a favor and check out the book it was based on. It's fantastic. |

Heh, didn't he make two of those?
That must have been his answer to the Dirty Harry series and westerns were starting to die out in the early 70s.

I think extreme overexposure killed westerns. Theater's and tv were flooded with them throughout the 50's and 60's. Strict new anti violence rules for tv in 68 finished off the tv western. The rise of urban crime thrillers combined with Hollywood's more "enlightened" revisionist westerns killed the big screen westerns. |
