John Wayne's movies. Favorites?
 
Rotten Tomatoes: Movies | TV Shows | Movie Trailers | Reviews - Rotten Tomatoes

I really liked The Shootist which was his last movie and filmed not too far from Reno, Nevada where I lived from age 11 to 24 or so.

The Shootist - Rotten Tomatoes

True Grit was great, too.

The Star Packer - and any other of his B flicks that had Yack Canutt in it.

All his films with Victor McLaglen . Specially The Quiet Man!
Utter nonsense, but I loved it!
Not forgetting his other side kick Gabby Hayes.

Also fighting seabees and sands of iwo jima only two movies I can think of where John Wayne's character was killed off.

The Long Voyage Home and The Quiet Man are probably my two favorites. Then again, there's The Shootist.

True grit

John Wayne Movies
 
The Searchers, Red River, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, The Quiet Man, and Sands of Iwo Jima. Many others that are also very good.

My favorite still is McClintock. Was in a catholic elementary school and the nuns played that John Wayne movie for us. I still remember this little, tiny nun practically faint when John said “But I won’t. I won’t. The hell I won’t!” And surprisingly punch some guy out.

Don’t know who was knocked for more of a loop, the kids, the character that got punched or that little nun!

Never have a favorite. They were all great and if they do any remakes never be the same. Why? Not John Wayne

My favorite, although not among his greatest, is Hellfighters with Jim Hutton.
Based on Red Adair, the oil fire blowout specialist
Loved the music too

The Quiet Man is my all time favorite flick with the Duke
