blood alley, sea chase, wake of the red witch, fighting seabees,flying tigers, pittsburgh, long voyage home, are other excelllent non westerns

You did leave out some of my favorites. I'm not sure I can pick just one best movie in any John Wayne category. You left out Wake of The Red Witch, Shepherd of The Hills, Donovan's Reef,etc.,etc.

True Grit, Come on.

they are all 100% in harms way is my best

The broad array of characters and the vast expanse of his career makes it difficult to pick only one. You cannot discount any listed and even many that are not. The Fighting Kentuckian (1949), for example,with Oliver Hardy is a great flick. The Quiet of Man, however, is the best overall film along with The Shootist. I only have 75 of his films but I seem to go back to The Quiet Man over and over.

I voted for "They Were Expendable", but you left out my favorite "In Harm's Way"

You must be kidding ... your list of favorite non-western John Wayne movies does not include "In Harms Way" with Kirk Douglas, Henry Fonda, and Carroll O'Connor.

My dad George, would never have understood how that gem of a movie is not on your list. He would have given you a "What For".

The Duke is the Greatest! Right-O!!!

One movie that the "Duke" made (non western) I have enjoyed is "Donovan's Reef". It falls in line for entertainment and humor like "The Quiet Man" as well as "Hatari". But over all I have had many years of enjoying John Wayne's movies, be they western, military, or civilian (as in the three mentioned above).

Over all I must say that to watch him in his early years with his serials such as the Three Musketeers or watching him do a story based on real life (Hellfighters), The "Duke will always Reign Supreme!

I'm a big hugh western fan and a big "Duke" fan on top of that. But you left so many good one's off the list Chisum, Eldorado, Sons of Katie Elder and on and On. I can usually watch any Wayne movies but when he's in a western i'm glued to the tube even though i've seen most a hundred times and have most on DVD. They just don't make actors like this any more.

Pick a favortie John Wayne movie???? Impossible for a true John Wayne fan, i couldn't pick one fav if i had to save the world. He made too many great movies, and i can watch them a thousand times each and enjoy them just as if i seen them for the first time.

JOHN WAYNE, AN TRUE AMERICAN HERO.

Donovan's Reef & The Quiet Man are his best non Western & Non War movies

I voted for Green Beret, but you also left out Operation Pacific. There is a long list of John Wayne movies you left out, just some, Rio Bravo, Red River, Rio Lobo, and the Horse Soldiers.

The next time you have a John Wayne tribute, it would be nice if you could include different movies, instead of playing some of them over. There are so many GREAT movies besides the ones you have listed, Chisum, Rio Bravo, Rio Lobo, Red River, Horse Solders, Harms Way and so many, many more.

There are too many to list, but so many better than what you listed.

I picked They Were Expendable although all are great and there are others we could add.

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.

Expendable covers that message very well.

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 us to try to regain the America we desire.

I loved him in the Longest Day. It is my all time favorite non western movie of his.

Why was The Searchers left out of your poll? This was John Ford and Waynes greatest.

Ern Cli

All of the above and everything else the Duke was ever in,including that rarly aired episode of " The Beverly Hillbillies"

"In Harms Way" was not included in some of the voting. That is a great film. John Wayne is my all time favorite actor. Not many leading men have been able to compare to Mr. Wayne. I enjoy watching all the John Wayne movies aired on AMC. I watch each weekend to see if one of John Wayne's movies are playing. He was an honest, true American, actor! I wish I would have had the opportunity to meet him in person.

Sorry, didn't realize non-western.

Ern Cli

I have been a John Wayne fan all my Life and have alot of movies! McClintock, Donavan's Reef, and Angel and the bad man,Chisum, Big Jake. In Harms way! are among my favorites. But I could watch John Wayne movies all day! Corinne.

best movie i think is rio bravo but john wayne is such a great actor its hard to pick just one. for non western i would say in harms way is his next best. i have all but 41 of his movies and am still trying to locate the older ones that i dont have.

they are ALL GREAT but a few that you missed were The Long Voyage Home, Fighting Seabees,Flying Tigers,Trouble along the way, Pittsburg, Seven Sinners,and many others. anyway thanks amc for doing this keep the John WAYNE movies coming.

I love John Wayne from his very earliest movies to his last. But one of my favorites is the Undefeated.

The Cowboys & Hatari are also favorites.

HUGH John Wayne fan. Love it when the whole weekend is John Wayne. Husband threatens to put me on a "twelve step" program. Best non-western is Donavan's Reef. Best westerns are Rooster Cogburn & the Lady and Rio Bravo. Hey! How can you miss with Dean Martin, Ricky Nelson and Walter Brennan added to John Wayne?

Like everyone else it is very hard to pick just one John Wayne favorite, but I have to say True Grit is my ultimate favorite. I loved the Character Rooster Cogburn and the dialoge was so great.

Fighting Seabee's was the best movie

The Searchers, and The ALamo along with The Quiet Man are the best of the best!!

John Wayne did 164 movies!! No wonder he is a mans' man, a legend, an icon,and most of all An American!!!

i like the movei hondo. I like mostly all of john Wayne movies, He's my fovorite actor.

JOHN WAYNE IS THE BEST OF THE BEST. THEY SHOULD HAVE MADE HIM PRESIDENT AS HE IS THE MAN EVERY MAN ALWAYS WANTED TO BE. A COWBOY IS IN EVERY MAN BUT HE COULD PLAY EVERY KIND OF A PART IN ANY MOVIE. HIS LAST FILM AS HE WAS DIEING OF CANCER WAS A VERY GOOD THING TO SHOW HIM AS A MAN TO EVERY KID IN THE WORLD NOT JUST A MOVIE STAR. HOLLYWOOD NEVER DID HIM JUSTICE.

WHEN HE COMES ON TV I WATCH HIS MOVIES OVER AND OVER. I HAVE A GOOD AMOUNT OF HIS MOVIES AND BUY THEM AS SOON AS I CAN FIND THEM IN THE STORES. HE NEVER WAS A BAD MAN IN ANY OF HIS MOVIES. IF HE WAS ALIVE TODAY HE WOULD BECOME PRESIDENT AND GO TO ARACK AND CLEAN THE PLACE OUT AS HE WOULD LET OUR ARMY RUN THE WAR NAT THE GOVERMENT LIKE IN VIETNAM. I'AM BEHIND OUR TROUPS 100 PERCENT.LET THE TROOPS RUN THE WAR. AND IT WILL BE OVER SOON.............

There were many other non-westerns that were not in your "vote" selection that should have been. One of my favorites was "The Wings of Eagles".

I love all of John Wayne's movies! I would have included some others in this non-cowboy genre, for example: The Wings of Eagles and 3 Godfathers.

i liked bllod alley!!!!!!

How could you leave out "In Harm's Way"

I love all of John Wayne's movies.

Why leave out "Brannigan"?!

A tough 1970s Chicago cop takes on the London mob with the help of Sir Richard Attenborough and Scotland Yard to return a fugitive.

I enjoy all of his movies, but there are two that I watch for all of the time and is is hard to say which is my favorite. Shepard of the Hills and The Quiet Man. My family and I watch these two every time they are on tv. I do have the DVD of The Quiet Man, but have never found Shepard of the Hills as one of his movies for sale in the stores.

In Harms Way and the Searchers are my favorites

I am an 81 yr. old grandmother and I have loved John Wayne all of my life... I think I was born in the wrong century. He is like a good book and I am an avid reader. I can read the good ones over and over. We always need a HERO and he surely was one.

he was a true american icon honesty and truthfulness always were at the forefront of his movies. he has so many enjoyable movies it is hard to pick a favorite but mine would be between the man who shot libery valance and the quiet man. we need more people like him today.

whatwas the old 'gingus kahn" movie that he was in with the garb of that day? the onethat he had the little mustach of that day?

I am a big fan of John Wayne. I really like Quiet Man and Donovan's Reef. Anything he's in, I watch!

I enjoyed everyones comments. John Wayne reaches several generations. The first VCR I bought,I had one tape Rio Bravo. My daugthers are now in their thirties. Not only do they call me when they see it's on, they can match the dialogue.I think I forced them to watch it to often. I am waiting for the next John Wayne to appear I hope to see him. No one can replace him, but I hope someone will show up with his caracter and overall presence.

I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND WYH YOU NEVER SHOW THE MOVIE OF JOHN WAYNE IN HARMS WAY

I like Hitari !! not much of a script but he(the Duke) looked like he had fun shootin it

I also liked The Cowboys very much. like most of his movies, it teaches us moral values as well as entertaining us. We need more of this.

Don't forget Donovan's Reef!

I also liked The Cowboys very much. like most of his movies, it teaches us moral values as well as entertaining us. We need more of this.

I think The Shootist or maybe Rooster Cogburn are his finest work but I seem to watch The Quiet Man every time it's on

I can't believe The Sons of Katie Elder

was not on the list, It's one of my many favorites

what about Donovan's Reef, Mcclintock, sons of Kate Elder, In harm's way

John Wayne played great, strong heroic roles, but many of his best performances were in his comedies. He showed he had a good range in being strong and funny.

"Donovan's Reef" is my favorite. Funny and touching at the same time.

I John Wayne. There is not and has not been since his time an actor of his caliber. America is baseball, apple pie, and John Wayne. I always admired the role he did, strong commited, and determined, you never doubted his ability to get the job done. I even own some collector items. My favorite western is The sons of katie elder.

john wayne had so many wonderful movies my favorite not listed was "in harms way"

Donovan's Reef and In Harm's Way are up there as is Hellfighters. I love him and Maureen O'Hara together period.

The Hellfighters is one of his very best non-westerns because it portrays a true life hero, Red Adair. Who put out oilwell fires. I waited on Red in a Casper, WY service station. I can also show anyone where the scenes for South America at the end of the movie where filmed around Casper, WY. John Wayne is also a true life American Hero. He loved this Nation with all his heart. I'v always admired him for that.

My favorite was Horse Soldiers, McClintock, and Hatari. Anything with John Wayne has to be great!

Ya'll forgot Donovan's Reef and McClintock.

But then, any thing with the Duke is GREAT!!!

I chose a movie but I have so many favorites. "They Were Expendable" wasn't on the list. The roles he played reflected his values. I will pick a John Wayne movie before any others. A short story on the man. My husband was stationed in San Diago during Viet Nam. He had a leave and like to frequent out of the way cafe's and bars. He walked into one and sat down with only one other patron in the place. After the other fellow left,the bar tender set my husband up with a good steak and drinks. John Wayne wanted to thank a seaman for his service to his country. That's an american Hero.

I agree with everyone. There is not a bad John Wayne movie. It would nice if they made movies like he made now days. My favorites, McClintock, The Quiet Man,

Chisum, Wake of the Red Witch and Blood Alley.

There is no way you can pick one my husband and I like watching The Duke in any movie.

I didn't note it earlier, because He has made so many Great movies. There should actually be 3 catagories, Westerns, Military, Non Western. My favorite Military movie is "In Harms Way". I have to agree with so many others that state He

didn't make a bad movie. My all time favorite has to be "Fort Apache". That is

of all 3 catagories.

Favorite Duke movies

Cowboys & McClintock

Angel and the Badman, Rio Bravo....are mine. Favorites but many more..are great and watched over and over again. Too bad his kind are seldom found or appreciated nowadays.

"The Green Berets" all the way, man. Sure, it was one of his later movies, but I never tire of watching it.

I

like the western Big Jake True Grit

cow boy and india western movie let one week just be weekend of western movie the newes move Pleasej-gwenf@bellsouth.net

There were a bunch of really good movies that are not on the list:

Stagecoach, Horse Soldiers, McLintock, In Harms Way, The Searchers and many, many more that I haven't listed. I can watch him all day, every day. Good movies!

In our house it's first "In Harms Way", then McClintock followed by Donovans Reef! He was such a stud. We need him back in this world.

I have always been a big fan of John Wayne. I like all of his westerns and war movies but one of my real favorites which is hardly ever shown is "Pittsburgh". I do wish this was included in your voting. A lot of people I talk with never seem to remember this movie. Maybe because it isn't shown as much as his other ones.

You forgot In Harm's Way. Awesome movie. Also, The High & The Mighty was a terrific movie. Let's face it. The Duke rules!!!

In Harm's Way should have been on the list. My second choice would have been Donovan's Reef, then the Hellfighters

Back to Bataan, McQ, Brannigan, Blood Alley....These and many more can be added to your current list and those added by others. We have over 125 movies - A B & Serials - How can you possible pick a favorite. I do agree with a previous comment asking for movies that are not shown regularly. What about War Wagon and Back to Bataan.

John Wayne takes you back to a different era when there were family values and people cared about each other.

I have always enjoyed his interaction with children. His face always seemed to smile from his chin to his eyes when he was conversing with a young person.

Thank you John Wayne for all you gave America.

I would like to see The Horse Soliders,The Searchers,Rio Lobo, and Rio Grande. We don't see enough of this Man and his wonderful talented Movies. Please take time out and play this Man and his Movies alot more, Please.This Generation needs it,let them see what a REAL MAN was and is. Thank you so very much, Donna D.

I have been a John Wayne fan for as long as I can remember. I fell "in love" with him when I was very young, I think I was eight. I have to admit that as a teen, dating, every boy was measured by one yard stick, John Wayne. I jokingly tell my husband that since I couldn't marry John Wayne, I chose the second best, him. I tell him that being second to John Wayne is very good.

Picking a favoite JW movie is tougher than the back wall of a shooting gallery.

JOHN WAYNE never made a bad movie. His moral fiber and comitment to excellence are sadly missing today.

There will never be another DUKE

John Wayne is my favorite for 50+ years. My personal favorite "Three Godfathers". My son is named Ethan after Ethan Edwards. I have books listing all his movies and have actually seen alot of them. Keep showing them and I'll be watching.

The High and the Mighty is my favorite. I just love the way he walks away from the plane. Every movie he ever made was great! He always portrayed a tough guy, but every movie he made has a tender moment or two in it. He aged well in his career and was just adorable as Roster Cogburn. I just wish the Wayne family would release more of his movies. Also, why doesn't one of the televison networks rerun "John Wayne's America." The book is great but having him in front of you can't be beat. Every generation should view it. Isn't it amazing that he is still a top star almost 30 years after his death! And just think--he never had to use vulgar language or take off his clothes to prove he was a real man. Hollywood today would probably make him sick.

My fav was "Cowboys"..he worked great with the kids...all his movies are fantastic however.

John Wayne was a living legend he was bigger than life.When i think of the real America and the flag John Wayne comes to mind.He has always been my hero and will always be my hero!!

I have/still love all his movies (I have approx. 97 of them). He is what every kid wants to be when he grows up and what every old man wishes he had been before he dies. Thanks for the memories.

There were only a few I didn't really care for but I just like John Wayne. It wasn't John but the story line I did not like.

Trouble Along the Way (1953)

Seems you missed this one... not my favorite but one of my top ten.

You left out "Horse Soldiers", "McClintock" "In Harms Way"... toomany to make a choice

My favorite is McClintock. It is a great comedy as well as a western and again pairs him with Maureen O'Hara. Of course other greats that you left out were Harm's Way, The Undefeated, and Big Jake. But the real question is: Is there really a bad John Wayne movie.

Your lists were very short listed, I don't believe I have ever seen a John Wayne movie that wasn't the best.

** the John Wayne movie I'm watching at anytime is the best of his movies while I'm watching it - and - the next one I watch is the best of his movies, etc and so on.

In other words, John Wayne only made great movies. I grew up on his movies, and raised my sons on his movies and will continue with my grandchildren.

You left out In Harm's Way and Donovan's Reef. One is excellent example of drama and the other is excellent example of his wit and humor. How do you just pick one Wayne movie? It is an impossibility. He was so versatile, talented, and presented the persona of everyone's idea of the true American, which, I believe, in "real" life he was.

I have loved John Wayne since the early 50's. What's not to love. He was strong, always was the hero and a true reflection of an American. How about "the Three Godfathers" What a great film. I also loved Harry Carey Jr.'s singing in that film. Stories like that will always be in fashion.

A.Korsick

How can you possibly pick just one? As soon as you do five others come to mind and they are all great! I grew up watching John Wayne movies with my dad (who was just one year younger) and I can't think of the Duke without also thinking of dad.

Donovan's Reef was a great one, fun to watch and made you laugh. The Dark Command was a good one, also In Old California, The Fighting Kentuckian are a few that stared John Wayne that has not been mentioned. Also not mentioned were Circus World, Train Robbers, Comancheros, Cahill US Marshall, The Spoilers, The Flame on Barbary Coast, The War Wagon, The Tycoon was a non western that was good also. Not only these but his "B" Movies also. If I could vote for his most favorite I would vote for them all.

Just face the fact He is a true Loved American Icon. He started in a non western that had Nancy Olsen and James Arness is also, but I can't remember the name of it.. Darn... How sad I can't remember that movie

the searchers

My favorite movie, which was not listed was the shootist.

I love True Grit, Quiet Man, McClintock not to mention Hatari! These are some of the classics that kids need to watch today.

In Harms Way is my favorite movie that he made. It is a difficult choice as there are so many.

"The Alamo" was the best John Wayne movie for me, and I have been a John Wayne fan since the 1940's. They are all good or great, not a bad one.

I love so many of the Duke's movies and watch them when ever I can. There are times that I say the lines with the actors. He had a wonderful touch for comedy in several movies both Western and non-Western.

It is impossible to pick just one, one dozen, maybe.

Definitely missed by omitting In Harm's Way, and my all-time favorite, McLintock and in a pinch, Big Jake. Loved the movies with his son Patrick and his stand-bys like Paul Fix and the others that were repeatedly in his movies. Seemed like he always took care of his friends.

I love so many of the Duke's movies and watch them when ever I can. There are times that I say the lines with the actors. He had a wonderful touch for comedy in several movies both Western and non-Western.

It is impossible to pick just one, one dozen, maybe.

Being part Irish the Quiet Man will always be my favorite movie. He has always been my favorite actor. I am a fan of westerns and loved John Wayne's westerns.

my personal favorite has got to be mclintock,it always brings back memories of my grandpa he was always watchin john wayne movies and i can still see him laughing while watchin that movie

Who made this list anyways? A non- Wayne fan, if there is such a preson? So many better films that you could of listed...

I love all the John Wayne movies. I started watching them with my dad when I was a child. My sister wasn't interested in them, but I was. What about El Dorado? Red River always haunted me, but I loved it! Just can't choose one as my favorite!

What were ya thinking, leaving out..In Harms Way! My all time favorite and a star cast of people. I think we need a revote. And one more thing...how bout showing his movies more often.

I like all john Wayne movies

You did not list the best movie of all, NON-WESTERN or otherwise. It is "IN HARMS WAY".

Thank You

John Wayne never made a bad movie and to pick a favorite is almost impossible, but Hatari and Hellfighters are right at the top of my list with Rio Bravo and McClintock a close second. I have been known to stay up late or get up early to watch all four of them when their being showed even though I have them on DVD and can watch them anytime I want. Please feature John Wayne movies more often and if you could add my favorites to your frequent play list that would be GREAT!!!

I have many John Wayne movies. My favorite is McClintock, and the next favorites are those he did with Maureen OHara such as the Quiet Man. Those two had great chemistry when they were together in the movies.

My all time favorite is Wings of Eagles.

There is no one like the Duke & there never will be.

Thanks for honoring a true American hero, but next time try, Mclintock, Chisum, In Harms Way(what a cast) and The Undefeated.

There are so many of John Wayne's movies that are my favorites - - especially Sea Chase, Donovan's Reef, Horse Soldiers, North to Alaska just to name a few. Sea Chase is so seldom played. Sure would like to see it more often.

There were many wonderful non western movies left off the list: 1-Seven Sinners (J.W.in navy whites-yum) 2-Wake of the Red Witch (one that always makes me cry)and very romantic! 3-Pittsburg and I could go on and on.

I can't believe you left out "In Harms Way!"

John Wayne has been my hero since I was a little girl. My favorite movie which is not listed is McLintock. Then I would place The Cowboys, Big Jake and Chisum among other movies. I hope they would more of John's movies on the list to vote.

I Loved The Quiet Man, Hatari, North to Alaska, Donavan's Reef, and the one where

he protriade "Spig Weed". I can't remember the name of that one.

Where is "In Harms Way" did you just overlook it? It is one of my favorite Wayne War Movies. But there are many not on your list. How can you poll be a good one when you leave really great movies off the original list?

My favorites are not listed. First is Hatari(love the sound track,can listen to it over and over),then comes Donavans Reef, McClintock,the more I think about it not one of his movies are not boring and is watchable over and over love Quiet Man,Son's of Katie Elder,Cahill. Just the right leading ladies for the films. I would tell my son when he was little that he was John Wayne's love child(just kidding, just kidding).As a Adult today my son will tease me about him being John Wayne's love child, when ever a John Wayne movie comes on. Is there any Actors today that comes close to John Wayne?

By far and away John Wayne's best movie is "In Harm's Way". How could you have left it off of either list? Put it on your list and try again.

I love all John Wayne's movies. He was one of the Great's. Too bad we don't have actors like that now.

John Wayne stands for everything good in a man and in a person.His strength, courage honesty and soft heart should be a lesson for all mankind.

I have also been a John Wayne fan since I

was a teenager,I'am 72 now,and every day&

night I watch his videos,because most of the time there is'nt any thing good on.I can't pick any one because I love them all!! I have five pictures,and a set of

postage stamps on my wall.I wish you would

show more of his movies instead the same

ones over and over.

Thank you sencerly

What happened to In Harms Way with the Duke and that wonderful lady Patricia Neal? You all need to get on the ball.He made several Non Westerns that are beyond awesome.I think my all time favorite will be The Quiet Man.I was blessed and fortunate yesterday (Labobr Day) to watch the fantastic John Wayne Tribute or Marathon,which ever you care to call it.So thanks a million for a day and night of pure enjoyment and great mix of The Duke's Movies.Please do this again so I can see the ones I missed while I had to be away. God bless America and God bless you.

Blessings and greetings from Texas.............P.L.Howell

My favorite is "In Harms Way"

I think i have just about all the Dukes movies on dvd or vhs even alot of his "b" movies. you forgot rooster cogburn that was another great western. haven't seen that one in awhile. thanks for asking us what we thought. I LIKE EL-DORADO, & OPERATION PACIFIC

woodstock, ct. 06281-3213

There are so many John Wayne movies that I like that it is impossible to name one that I like more than the others. I always watch any movie of his that is showing.

His best all-time film was, is and always will "The Wake of the Red Witch"!

Just like Hollywood you left

out to many of his movies.

He was the Best Actor!

The Quiet Man a classic among classics. I am a dual Irish and American citizen and my family lives very close to the filming sites of the 1952 movie. I have visited them often and enjoy the movie each time I see it. So many films were made by John Ford and John Wayne and the regular troop of actors you see in many of Mr. Waynes films.

my favorite movie is EL DORADO,like his westerns more than the others, but all his movies are good.

You need a month devoted to John Wayne and show all of his movies from the first one, "Mother Macree" to his lastone, "The Shootist". My favorite Western is The Searchers, Non Western is The Quiet Man, War movie is The Green Berets. I also enjoy seeing his movies with his family in them.
