Too hard to pick a favorite John Wayne movie. Especially since you left so many great ones out. One of my favorites in the western category is Chisum, but I like most all of them. Like Rio Grande and Fort Apache and McClintock. In the other category you left out In Harm's Way.

I also believe you left out great John Wayne movies. My actual all-time favorite is North to Alaska. I love how he could express humor and dignity. My 16 and 18 year old girls are third generation who know the movies of John Wayne. His charisma will long exceed the flickering stars of today.

The Searchers is not only John Wayne's best movie but I think it's the best western of all time.

There are so many movies that the Duke made, it is hard to pick which one, but I liked Mcclintock, Chisum. He was a great actor.

He always made you believe that his character was simply being "honest" with the action of the scene.

John Wayne represents everything in being an AMERICAN you could want. He stood for right from wrong, good guys always win, and showed us that being your own person was a winner! He set the examples for others to follow in everyday situations. His straight forward tough guy/yet charismatic style was never recognized early on as it perhaps should have been. Please don't stop playing his movies. He was truly an American Icon for all.

JOH WAYNE WASN'T ACTING, HE WAS LIVING & FORTUNATELY FOR US IT WAS TAPED & RECORDED, MY ALL TIME FAVORITE IS "CHISUM"

The Duke's accomplishments on film blow away such a short list. I agree that 'The Shootist' and 'The Quiet Man' rank very high on the list but where are 'In Harm's Way' and 'Hatari'? You could have actually run John Wayne movies the whole three day weekend without repeating yourselves.

John Wayne is the best !

I grew up on his films he reminds me of my father is damener his actions everything!

He is a icon and will always be in my heart and to America he is what real men should be.

And what real actors should be like not only in there work but in life in general every movie John wayne did is the greatest !!!!!!!!!!!

AMERICA & OUR YOUNG PEOPLE NEED JOHN WAYNE NOW MORE THAN EVER, IT IS TRULY AN AMERICAN TRAGEDY THAT HE IS NOT STILL WITH US!

Actually , my favorite isn't listed - El Dorado but out of those listed above I'll go with the Quiet Man. Another good movie not listed is McClintock. It's my second favorite with the Quiet Man and Rio Bravo coming in next.

I have loved John Wayne so much, I named my first son, John Wayne and he was born on John Wayne's birthday, which was May 26, 1963.

Actually , my favorite isn't listed - El Dorado but out of those listed above I'll go with the Quiet Man. Another good movie not listed is McClintock. It's my second favorite with the Quiet Man and Rio Bravo coming in next.

I have always thought, that John Wayne should have won the Academy Award for the "Searchers"..What a great guy and movie,,

favorite for John Wayne is Angel and the Badman.

It is really hard to pick a favorite, but I would have to say "In Harm's Way". I watch it every time it's on.

THE QUIET MAN #1

McCLINTOCK #2

THE FIGHTING SEABEE'S #3

My favorite Duke movie is McClintock. In Harms Way comes in a close 2nd. Why he will always be an American icon is answered by my kids. Both my sons [11 and 14 years old] always come running to tell me a Duke movie is coming on and family time with popcorn happens soon after.

It's difficult to pick just one. I went with Seachers as one of my favorites,but you can't leave out Donavan's Reef, as a good one also. John Wayne stood for everything good about this country and what it stands for, Freedom, Liberty, and the pursuit of happingness. John Wayne's image will endure through out time, because the Amercan people need him and what he stood for.

Such A short list! I made a choice out of your list and even at that it was hard to make a choice. I have so many favorites...I would have liked to have seen The Sons of Katie Elder in the list, El Dorado, The Alamo, The Comancheros, and Chisum in the list...In Harms Way too. I could go on forever. I think The Duke was one of the finest actors the world has ever known and the "Academy" did a great injustice by overlooking The Searchers, North to Alaska, and many more.

I think John Wayne was the ultimate actor, and the all time Cowboy. There will never be another like John Wayne. His movies are all great. Thank you for doing a John Wayne movie day.

To quote from a line in the Tall Men (or as close as I can remember) He is what ever boy wants to be when he grows up and every old man wishes he had been.

"Rio Bravo" because it takes me home. I was about six when I saw it at the theater with my grandmother. My uncle also loved it. Both of them are gone now, but when I see "Rio Bravo", I think of them, and I am home. John Wayne had the ability to take any of us home, wherever and whatever home may be to any of us.

There aren't many stars in this world and none can compare to the great John Wayne!

His honesty, integrity, and true character shows through in every movie and interview he has done. He is a true legend and has earned the respect of a true hollywood star. There will NEVER be another one like him! He is truely an icon!

My dad was a devoted John Wayne fan ... BIG TIME!!!

I have to agree with the old man, the DUKE is number 1, in Westerns and Military movies.

Our favorites are: The Shootist, TRUE GRIT, and THE SEARCHERS!!!

God bless John Wayne

John Wayne is a real american hero. In our day and time there is so few people in this industry that can be look upon as a contributer to good & decent moral values.John said and I quote "Courage is being scared to death-but saddling up anyway."

I started watching The Duke in 1951 on Sunday mornings with my dad. I have been watching him on tv and in the movies ever since. My all time favorite is "The Searchers", and I have never missed a screening whenever it is on tv. I think it is his most powerful performance and I don't know of any girl who wouldn't want to be swept up in his arms and have him take you home. He is my hero and I only wish the youth of today could know him the way all of his die hard fans do. If I had to introduce The Duke to the youth of today these are the movies I would show them --The Searchers, Red River, The Quiet Man, Sands of Iwo Jima, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, The Shootist and Chisum. I am only sorry I never got to meet him in person.

What can you say about John Wayne..... You left some real good ones off the list. Particularly one of my favorites In Harms Way. I only wish we had an actor with John Wayne's character today....

How can you really pick a favorite movie by John Wayne. There are only two kinds of people in this world. The kind who like him and the ones who hate him. I for one love his movies. And if you like him then you like all his movies. And you find yourself tryin to decide which one of his movies is better the the rest. The man had great screen presence and was the man that all men wanted to be. I think that The Sons of Kate Elder is a movie that should also be mentioned in his huge selection of movies that he did. It's a real shame that we don't have more actors as great as he was now days. Movies would be better then ever before if we did.

My grandmother loved John Wayne and we would watch him when I was a little girl. I collect anything that has to do with The Duke. My 2 daughters love him also. He is timeless and was a true American. We went to Iowa for his 100 year celebration and got to see his birthplace, meet his children and other family members, and also got to meet movie stars who worked with him. It was the greatest trip I have ever taken. My most favorite movies are Chisum and McClintock. Thank you AMC for continuing to show The Dukes movies. I can never get enough.

It is summed up in the medal given him by the Congress of the United States:

John Wayne, American.

What is wrong with America?

We lost our B Western Values. Watch a good old B Western from the 30’s-40’s. Common sense, common decency, knowing the difference between right and wrong, striving to do the right thing, protect the venerable, others over self. Being good and honest was more important than being cool.

John Wayne was human and was certainly not perfect, but his profession was acting and he portrayed what we could all strive for. It is hard to pick a bad JW Movie. I'd watch even the old Lone Star productions over a free ticket to any new movie anyday.

The list of his great films, which can be inspiring, enlightening and entertaining is too vast to list.

He portrayed America as we would like it to be. It is up to try to regain the America we desire.

John Wayne has always been my hero. He was the epitome of the American man. When I was around ten years old, I went to the premiere of RED RIVER in Houston where I lived. Since that time I have been in love with cowboys and the West. I hold an MA in Frontier West; I own many of his movies. The bulk of his work sustains the strength, will, and intelligence of those who built America. There are no films of his I don't like, but RED RIVER will forever be my favorite. What a human being!

I agree - they left out some of the best. Chisum,Eldorado,McClintoch and many more. John Wayne, and many of the actors/actresses of past, were so great because they did act. Back then there was less dialogue so the they had to act. John Wayne said a lot by his acting and, when he spoke the words, he said what needed to be said. Also, there was a clear line between good and bad. Values were taught too as women were treated with respect, even the bad ones, and there was no profanity.

I would love it when they are going to have a specific actor/actress day or weekend, they played as many movies as possible instead of repeating just a few.

I don't feel that all of the Duke's westerns are truly represented. To me, if you were to list them all and place an "

all of the above" selection at the bottom,

that would be the choice most true fans would make.

John Wayne never made a bad movie. My personal favorite is In Harm's Way. He should have & would have won the Oscar for Stagecoach if not for Gone With the Wind. He is more than a Hollywood icon; he is the true image of what every American should be, a man of integrity & a true patriot. This country desperately needs him today. God bless John Wayne and thank you for keeping his work & his memory alive.

In Harm's Way, without question.

Every John Wayne Movie is great please continue to show his Movies there will never be another Duke , thanks amc please do more of this in the future. ( a huge John Wayne fan)

I collect John Wayne films I only have about 100 of them so many I don't have yet. My favorite of all is the one with Dean Martin & Ricky Nelson in Rio Bravo! Their music is classic. John Wayne never made a bad film as far as I'm concerned even the one where he played gingus kan don't know if I spelled that right.

You forgot In Harm's Way and Angel and the Badmen, those were great awesome movies, i have always been a John Wayne fan and cannot wait to show my children all his movies. I am glad that he represents what an Amercian truly is, a brave man who stands up for whats right.

John Wayne is in my opinion the greatest actor of all time. I'm 29 now, but have been watching him since i was 5. I'm a big fan of his military movies and that is why i joined the army. I wanted to be just like him. He has been a hero to me all of my life.

John Wayne made so many great movies. But I think his diversity and acting range is really seen in his comic movie with Lee Marvin in "Donovan's Reef".

The Searchers has been my favorite for many years. I can turn it on at any point in the movie and sit down and enjoy it (and recite all the lines). The dialogue is classic, along with the great shots from Monument Valley. The changes in the Duke's demeanor throughout the movie are great, from hard to comical. Liberty Valance is also classic with its moments of comical light-heartedness intermixed with the overall sadness.

Can’t believe that Rio – Bravo was not listed. This just the right mix of humor and action.

John Wayne's Movies are among the best to be seen these days. You don't have to worry about the foul language nor the sex.

You can always depend on seeing a good movie. All of them weren't award material, but they were advennturous and funny sometimes, and interesting like the High and the Mighty, all of his wartime movies and most all of his westerns. I have more than 120 of his movies, both on DVDs and VHS.

My first movie theater experience with a John Wayne movie was Mclintock. The best part was hearing my Dad laugh through almost every scene. But it was not my first experience with this actor. I have been watching John Wayne movies for as long as I can remember. He made you understand that there was a job to do and someone had to do it, generally without any thanks. He made the 2 ultimate war movies, The Longest Day and In Harm's Way, both promoting patriotism. Thank You!

Out of the movies you listed,the Quiet Man was my favorite.But you left out so many other favorites.The Cowboys,Hell Fighters,The Sons of Katie Elder and The Longest Day. All of these are among my favorites. He will be remembered for the true Icon he was.....

He'll always be the greatest to me. I think "Big Jake" was my favorite. But his best job of acting was probably "The Searchers" even though I really don't like the movie that much. Long live the Duke.

I have ot agree with Scott M in the last post \.Rio Bravo had the most unlikely cast in the movie but it worked very well. The ones he made with Dean Martin were good... Sons of Kate Elder....

McClintock is probably the funniest movie. Maureen O' Hara I think made that movie. Good cast in that one.. The ones I don't like are the ones made in the 70's. Nothing against John Wayne.... Instead of being in the era they are supposed be.... the hairstyles and makeup look 70's. Long hair, barretts, and heavy eyeliner.. When I feel dowm I'll watch John or Bob Hope to lift me up

I have been a John Wayne fan my entire life...I am 60 years old and still get excited when I see one of his movies on television. I have pictures of him lining my hall way, I drink from a John Wayne coffee cup with the quote "courage is being scared to death but saddling up anyway". I have John Wayne magnets on my fridge...oh, well, I am not his only fan. He reminds me alot of my father and my godfather. All of his movies were great...my favorites are The Green Berets, Sands of Iwo Jima, The Searchers and Big Jake. But you can all count on one thing...if he is on...I am watching.

He is what almost all Americans admire the most,(even if they won't say it out loud.) brave, direct and honest. In real life he was a great American, who believed in what America stood for. So powerful an influence, that Stalin gave orders for his assaination in the 50's. This country has become so P.C., that just hearing the name 'John Wayne', to me is refreashing. Off the soapbox for now.

I am 3rd generation to watch John Wayne. As a youth, given the chance to pick a movie, I would always grab up a John Wayne movie rather than a new release. He has always been one of my heroes for the simple reason that he lived and died as a hero. I love all of his movies and I thoroughly enjoy the "Shootist" knowing that he was saying farewell to everyone. His way of being was someone you could always count on. When he stood up, everyone paid attention, his presence was naturally felt. His stands for right and wrong are seriously needed in this day and age. He was the perfect Westerner in heart and soul and he performed in like manner. My dream had always been to meet him, he is my "American Idol." He played roles that left me crying or whooping with excitement.

I wish that more of his movies would be played also. Three day weekends should be dedicated to all of his movies not just the same yearly repeats.

John Wayne is the best. I think you should play one John Wayne movie, every sunday. My favorites are Donavans Reef and McClintock. Hes the man.

John Wayne came from a different America. One that wasn't ashamed of being strong and prosperous. He was a perfect fit for the time. Said what he believed whether it was popular or not and was prepared to defend what he said. There was a sense of pride in him that reflected the positive things about our country. Unfortunately, that has been lost along with him.

I have loved John Wayne since I was 5 yrs. old. My favorite movie is "The Quiet Man", followed by "McLintock", and "The Shootist". It's hard to pick because John Wayne never made a bad movie. I love them all. I would love to have met him. He lives in my heart always. Thank you Mr. Wayne for all the great movies. God Bless John Wayne.

John Wayne, to me, is the without a doubt "The American Icon". Strong, silent, frank, and rugged; he personified the ways of the "wild west" but more than that, he set the standard for every young american boy striving to become a man. He became an institution ,to all americans, both on the big screen and in real life. The challenge to many of us as fans is simply pinpointing where his characters roll ended and where John Wanye began.

Wayne was the best, they should show more of his movies more often.

The Quiet Man will always be the best and favorite movie ever i think. I had the privelge of seeing where The Quiet Man was filmed. It was just beautiful in Ireland and to see the area to see how it was will always be so special. John

Wayne will always be the best of usa.

I will always watch John Wayne all day when ever they show him. I'm a iowan and i feel so honored that i can say John Wayne is fellow iowan.My youngest son was name after his movie Big Jake. I could go on and on about him .I'm thankful that we will always be able to watch his movies. I wish the good and honorable feelings and ideas that his movies instill will be there for generations to come

Red River had to be the best film ever made. He was one of the greatest actors, and I wish he was still with us.

As far as I'm concerned all of John Wayne's movies are great. I have quite a collection of his films on either DVD or tape. Some are old ones but mostly all of his ones up until he passed away. I also have his very last film The Shootist, which I treasure highly.

But the one I like the most of all is Big

Jake. He to me was excellent in the role he played as a tough old cowboy who took nothing from no one. May his films last for-

ever and his legend the same.

What about Angle and the Badman?!

John Wayne is the greatest. There is no one alive or dead that was/is more American than him. He stood for everything in the American way. Whether it be movies about Army, Cowboys, Ranchers, Detectives or Firefighters. He was it. You have someone name you a popular cowboy and John Waynes name will come up. He was outstanding and dashing. I'm sorry but you did not list his favorite movie. That was all of them. He should have got an Oscar for dang near everyone of them and then some. You need to show all of his movies at least once or twice a year. Everyone of them, from when he started to when he finished. He's my hero and I'm 61 years old.

My father never missed a John Wayne movie and neither did I. The most common comment in your file is that there are just too many good ones to choose from and so many left out. I liked the Quiet Man because it was out of the usual from his career. Our generation were lucky to grow up with two great American Heros on the Silver Screen, John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart. Both men in their movies usually represented... what we as Americans would like to think is the best of being an American. Today that is even more important as both tv and movies have thrown out the moral code of ethics that used to be the standard of entertainment. While he was married several times, John Wayne always kept his family and friends close to him...which can be seen in the co-actors in his movies. I applaud AMC for not only showing classics but the quality of movies that make us remember a time when people still had values, morals and eithics and a movie stood on its own merits and not its special effects.

How can you pick one favorite? Chisum, Big Jake, the Quiet Man,Sands of Iwo Jima, the list is endless. That would be like chosing which of your children you love more.

I'm a John Wayne fan and i'm just missing a 130 of his movies that I'm collecting.

First of all I don't think the Duke ever made a bad movie! Second like everyone else out there, there are just too many to choose from, but I myself think we should do this the way he started and finished his great career. stagecoach & the shootist, both are #1 in my book and will always be. In closeing I will quote John Ford's credo which was spoken @ the end of The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance "When the legend becomes fact, print the legend." We have our LEGEND!!!!

Reading the comments is like listening to the conversation my wife and I are having right now. How could one choose a "best"? Donovans Reef is, lest we forget, a Christmas movie (at least in part). Angel and the Badman co-starring Gail Russell, an actress with a typically tragic Hollywood story Except for the Conqueror (sorry if you liked it, I think its a howler) they were all BEST. Thanks, Mr. Wayne, for showing us the best of America and the best aspects of being an American.

HE WAS A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS.

A REAL MAN'S MAN.

THERE IS NOT A MOVIE OF HIS THAT I DO NOT

LOVE. I GUESS HIS BIGGER THAN LIFE

APPEARANCE SAID IT ALL. THERE IS NOT

ANOTHER STAR THAT CAN HOLD THE CANDLE TO HIM. WITHOUT EXCEPTION. WE NEED HIM NOW

MORE THAN EVER IN OUR LIFETIME. "OUR HERO"

John Wayne to me was a true idle in every since of the word and to pick just one favorite is not fair to the man himself, for he made so many great movies that would make people want to walk along side of him and his movies gave you that avenue of escape from reality if even for an hour or two. He was truely one of the greatset actors of his time and since.

On the screen and in life the Duke was pretty much a straight shooter. Yes of course with firearms, but I mean in the sense of what makes up a person in the way he lived his life. He was no angel and I don't think he ever claimed to be one. However, I don't recall anything ever said or reported about him that he had to be ashamed of. I believe he was an honest and thoughtful person who just naturally gained respect as well as giving it in return. I never met him but I wih I had. A great American who is still respected by me as well as others on this planet. I wish there were more like him.....

John Wayne was the ultimate american hero. It is impossible to vote for the one best one. I loved everything from "The Angel and the Badman" through to "McQ', and "Brannigan".

He is sorely missed!

As so many others have indicated, Wayne's best movies are McClintock first and In Harms Way second. Whomever picked the selections on the ballot isn't a true John Wayne fan.

After reading all the comments about John Wayne while watching the Quiet Man, I have found that I am teared eyed and remembering my father who was alot like the Duke.

As a pervious post said

John Wayne American

Some of my favorites aren't listed and haven't been mentioned much: Big Jake, The Cowboys, Fort Apache, and The Green Berets. I would echo a lot of the other comments. John Wayne is THE American icon. His values are the right and proper values of America. You don't need to be ashamed to be strong and prosperous--it's what you do with that strength and prosperity that counts. "Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue." I wish he were still here.

John Wayne is/was the best. I have most of his movies and watch them rather than most put out yesterday or today. My children and the neighborhood children were brought up, by me, on John Wayne and one has named his son, "Jake" after "Big Jake". Four generations of family and friends have friendly arguments over who is the biggest John Wayne fan. None of us could choose which Wayne film was the best because they all are. Today's actors (except Mel Gibson)and films (except "The Passion" and "Apocalypto") are a sorry lot compared to "John Wayne - American". Thanks AMC for the JW weekend.

John Wayne is the best and I loved all of his movies. Under the westerns you forgot to list HONDO which was excellent. Please never stop playing his movies.

JOHN WAYNE-AMERICAN,HERO,LEGEND & ICON FOREVER & ALWAYS

You didn't list "North to Alaska" which is one of his best pictures.

John Waynes best picture of all time was In Harm's Way. Almost all of his movies were good. We also enjoy Rooster Cogburn. All of the military roles that he played made you glad to be an American and most likely motivated many people to join the military .

You didn't list my four favorites...#1 El Dorado #2 McClintock #3 Chisum #4 In Harms Way

The Duke is an American Icon. He symbolized what was good in America. He truly is "The True American" He was the best, noone came close. God love him.

John wyne has been my favorite actor for years I am 62 years old and i could watch any of his movies,like it was the first time i saw it. But I like to belive that one of his best pictures was the foot solider,he hardly wears his gun thru out the movie.

My father and I watched his movies all the time. In Harm's Way is one of my favorites. But I have to say..when I was 12 my parents took me to see "The Green Berets". My mother had many regrets about that. I retired a Command Sergeant Major from the Army, following a few years with the 5th Special Forces. I have to say, that movie is my inspiration. I watch it today and think of all the movies he said.."Move Out". Oh yes..I was also in the 325th Airborne Infantry..for all you "Longest Day" fans...that would be.."Let's Go"!!!!

I grew up on John Wayne movies because my Dad was a big fan and now I watch them with my husband all the time. I love a lot of his movies and most of my favorite are not on the list but my favorite John Wayne movie of all times is In Harms Way. Not many know about this movie but it really is one of the best love story/action movies I have ever seen.

One of my favorites is The Sons Of Katie Elder. That one is really funny.

Another one of my favorites is In Old California. I have most of The Dukes movies, but these two movies I can (and have) watch them over and over and over.

My favorite John Wayne movie isn't on the list, its Hellfighters.

All of John Wayne movies are my favorite, but the one I love the most is the "Quiet Man". John Wayne and the great cast of characters and actors I feel set that movie apart from the rest. Dont get me wrong, I love all his movies and I have made a point of having my children watch them too. He was what an AMERICAN should be, he believed in the greatnest of this country and the people and history. I feel if the DUKE was alive today he would be riding "Tall in the Saddle" over all the actors who down our great country. Now I think he just sheads a tear for what has happened to the Hollywood Community. To the greatest actor and american icon of all time I say;

"Thanks Duke"

I movie that I vote for is " McLintock " that is the one I think is the very best, though I love all his westerns . I was born on the same day that he was May 26 and when he is on any channel I watch the movie . I miss his movies he is and was the best

THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANYONE I EVER ENJOYED MORE THAN JOHN WAYNE.

THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANYONE I ENJOYED MORE THAN JOHN WAYNE,I LOVE ALL HIS MOVIES,I COULD NOT CHOOSE JUST ONE FAVORITE.I WISH THEY WOULD SHOW MORE OF HIS MOVIES.

Every who watched a John Wayne movie wanted to be one of the boys who rode on the trail drive in "The Cowboys". Like many others though, there are so many favorite John Wayne movies that to single one out leaves all the other great movies.

"ANGEL AND THE BADMAN"

Not only John Wayne's best western, but perhaps the best classic western of all time!!!

Behind the Quiet Man my number two movie would be Blood Alley and then She wore a Yellow Ribbon, Hatari, Hellfighters.

This one man was in 171 movies and I am proud to say I have seen over a 100 more than several times.

I would have liked to meet the "Duke", there will never be another American Movie Icon like John Wayne.

I am over 50 an still watch John Wayne movies whenever they are on TV or from my extensive video collection.

LIKE MOST EVERYONE ELSE WHO HAS SEEN A JOHN WAYNE MOVIE IT IS HARD TO CHOOSE ONE.

I CHOOSE THE QUIET MAN ONLY BECAUSE YOU DID NOT HAVE McCLINTOCK LISTED. IN THIS

MOVIE NOT ONLY DO YOU GET ONE OF HIS BEST

WESTERN MOVIES, BUT YOU GET SOME OF HIS BEST ACTING AS WELL, {BEST OF BOTH WORLDS}

THANK-YOU FOR KEEPING THE GREAT MOVIES ALIVE.

John Wayne-the TRUE American hero.Having seen all his movies, it's hard to pick a best. But, I've noticed people have forgot about " Rooster Cogburn" and " True Grit'. How much better could it be?

In the early days of his career the American people needed entertainment. Times were hard, and scraping up a quarter or a dollar, what ever the price at the time wasn't easy. They ALWAYS got their money's worth at a John Wayne movie. My parents were children of the depression, and sadly life was never easy for them. Daddy has been gone since '91 and mama since '99. Every John Wayne movie reminds me of them and the hours of pleasure they got from his movies.

I'm a big fan, but even if I weren't I would be thankful for what he gave them and millions of others like them.

My favorites include McClintock, Rio Grande, The Quiet Man, (I also Love Maureen O'Hara!)Rio Bravo,Hellfighters,The Cowboys,Big Jake,Donovan's Reef. The list goes on and on.

A Real American Hero.

I don't have any particular favorite but I do favor the cowboy and war movies.El Dorado is also a great picture that was not mentioned. All his movies show his great acting ability and he was always standing up for the little guy. He is just a great American icon. He was a very respected man and very honorable. I am glad that I grew up on John Wayne.

You don't have one of his very best and my

favorite Western listed. "Fort Apache" is my all time favorite John Wayne Western. It is also one of his best The theme when they go riding is something special. It also shows how the Native Americans, Indians were wrong judged and treated. But "Fort Apache" will always be my favorite, although I truly love all his Westerns, even all the old "B" Westerns. They were what the Seniors of today grew up on.

John Wayne has always been my favorite American and actor. I was fortunate enough to meet him in the mid 60's while still a school girl in Southern California. I will always cherish that memory. McLincock is my favorite John Wayne movie but I love them all. It's too bad we don't have a John Wayne for this and future generations to enjoy.

I like just about any John Wayne movie, but here are my favorites:

The Searchers

True Grit

She Wore A Yellow Ribbon

The Quiet Man

In Harm's Way

Rio Grande

Red River

The Shootist

Blood Alley

Dark Command

When John Wayne did his last movie, The Shootist, he left a classic description of most of the characters he ever played on the screen and probably of the way he approached life.

"I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them."

I picked one of the movies you listed but wanted to add my vote for "In Harms Way" and in the comedy catagory I'm between North to Alaska and McClintock.

It is really hard to pick a favorite but The Searchers and Hondo are two of my all time favorites. He was the strength and courage of America. I have heard all my life that he did more to defeat the enemies of WWII than any one else. Those two characters he played show that. I have a two year old grandson and he has the best of both, his name is Ethan Lane Fasano. I hope he will get the strength this world takes by having that name.

You needed to give us far more options of John Wayne's movie. My favorites are Donovan's Reef, McClintock, and Hatari, are just a few more you should have given as options.

I love his movies, and I still miss him.

Pick a favorite John Wayne movie? Let's see. El Dorado, Chisum, Sons Of Katie Elder, Green Beret, Red River, Flying Tigers, McClintock, McQ, Sands Of Iwo Jima, Hellfighters, Hatari, The Quiet Man, and many many more. I think I know which movie I like best. WHICHEVER MOVIE THAT IS SHOWING NEXT.

John Wayne American

Comments made so far sum up how we all felt and still feel about John Wayne. As I write this I am sitting watching Hellfighters. John Wayne was one of Hollywoods most veristal actors ever. He stood and still stands for everything good in America. As far as my favorites, everyone of of John Waynes films are mine. I grew up with John Wayne movies and being over 50 I can say I have seen just about everyone of them more than once and they never get old. "Courge is being scared to death but saddling up anyway." Thanks for the memories Duke.

John Wayne has so many great movies it is difficult to choose just one and as I have seen everyone of them I can say without a doubt John Wayne was the greatest actor of his time bar none

The very first movie I went to see with my dad was North to Alaska. If there was ever a John Wayne movie on we watched it together. He was believable. His characters had faults and short comings like we all do but his characters always rose above.

I think he gave us all someone to look up to. I love watching his movies over and over again. I don't get tired of them. Thanks AMC>

ANY and ALL

Another on the "All John Wayne's Movies Are Best List", "The Alamo". "Fuerte, feo y formal" (but he was not ugly).

Red River, Cowboys, The Searchers, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence, Big Jake, Cahill US Marshall, Sons of Katie Elder......pretty much any movie but what you're playing today

I could watch Rio Bravo every night. I love this movie; infact I like every movie Wayne has made. We have 8 of the movies listed. When ever we can not find something to watch John Wayne is our answer. There are just no super stars like him in the industry any more!

Even though John Wayne played a cowboy in most of his movies, he was still one of the most versatile actors. His movies were great and his characters were better.
