Favorite John Wayne movie?
 

I really liked The Searchers.

Lots of great one
Searchers, Ft Apache, Sands of Iwo Jima

Too many to pick just one.

The Quiet Man

The Shootist

The High and the Mighty

The Long Voyage Home

and so on.

In Harm’s Way
The Green Berets
El Dorado
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
The War Wagon
Hellfighters

Pretty much all of them.

The Shootist. Most of John Wayne’s movies portrayed him as something larger than life. The Shootist portrayed him as a human being facing what we all must face, in the best way possible. It showed Wayne’s range and depth as an actor better than just about any other of his movies that I can recall seeing.

Some of The Shootist was filmed in Carson City, Nevada.

El Dorado

The Sons of Katie Elder

Another vote for The Shootist for your reasons. Art imitating life.

Just about all of them. Probably The Searchers.

McClintock

Basically any John Wayne movie, but fav’s are: Hellfighters, The Quiet Man, In Harm’s Way, The Shootist, The Green Berets, McClintock.

Don’t cheat but how many movies was John Wayne killed in and who was the only notable star that killed him.

Favorite John Wayne Movie?
 

I am surprised no one mentioned True Grit, the only movie in which John Wayne won an Oscar.

Casablanca.

Bruce Dern shot him in The Cowboys.

On screen deaths - 9
