How many 25 year olds know John Wayne movies? I'm sure I'm one of the few.

Wish I could vote twice, The Searchers and Man who shot Liberty Valance.

Guess if I had to pick, it'll be The Searchers.

True Grit.

I voted for True Grit but would have voted for The Shootist if it was an option.

How could you possibly have left "Big Jake" off that list? hands down his best movie in my opinion. I liked El Dorado as well.

Only John Wayne could pull off making the same movie 8 years apart with a different name and different cast.

1959 Rio Bravo/1966 El Dorado
Sheriff J.P. Harrah/ Dude
Sidekick Mississippi/Colorado
Deputy Bull/Stumpy

I prefered Dean Martin over Robert Mitchem / James Caan over Ricky Nelson / Walter Brennon over Arthur Hunnicut
both great movies by the way.

The Conqueror (1956): The Film that Killed John Wayne…Literally

The movie was notorious for being shot in the deserts of Utah, almost ten years after the United States Army conducted nuclear bomb testing there. Of the 220 people involved in the film, 91 would die of cancer, including Wayne, director Dick Powell, and every leading and supporting cast member: Agnes Moorehead, Susan Hayward, and John Hoyt. Another star, Pedro Armendáriz would also be diagnosed of cancer, but commit suicide after hearing the news. The number does not even include the extras and other people involved in filming. Numerous American Indians who served as Mongolian warriors contracted cancer in later years, and even John Wayne’s son Michael died in 2003 of cancer, after visiting his father on the set at age 22.
