John Wayne

[Nosferatu]

I don't think The Longest Day was a John Wayne Movie, he was not the lead actor. The question is what is John Wayne's best Movie? So, I guess A...

 

[outofyourmind]

John Wayne is the same in all of the choices in the OP except one, and that's True Grit.
That's the best one on that list.
That's not a bad thing but there is little differential between them.

My next favorites would be Big Jake, then The man who shot Liberty Valance but this movie John Wayne is overshadowed by some other actors.

In Harms Way is maybe my favorite John Wayne movie.
Hard to pin down just one.

FWIW, I did not like McLintok at all

I've got a soft spot for Rio Bravo. Just a perfect blend of Western drama with a little comedy thrown in. Plus, the cast is excellent

 

[outofyourmind]

I can tell you what his worst movie was, hands down.

most worst



almost most worst

 

[Nosferatu]

LOLZZZZ I liked Brannigan... Doesn't mean it was good but I liked it.

 

[Nosferatu]

I liked Hellfighters too and McQ and the movie I almost chose was Hatari, I really liked that one...

....."the Searchers" .....was his best,.....but he was great in many others too = Red River, War Wagon, Liberty-Valance,....and his final film (forget the name)...was not up there...?

What about Chism?

I didn't like the kid who played Billy in Chisum.

The Shootist was his final film. Not his best IMO.

....nah,.....but a lot better than that "Brannigan" piece of crap.......m.-op..

 

[Nosferatu]

I liked Brannigan, I guess it's just weird to see him in something other than a Western or War movie, maybe thats why I like all those others like McQ, Hellfighters, Donovan's Reef, Hatari, Big Jim McLain...

 

[outlaw okie]

True Grit, War Wagon, and I also like him in Green Berets.

 

[Sportsdude101]

The Sands of Iwo Jima is his best movie

 

[moxie]

Hondo is the only one I've seen and it was not a good one. Thanks, @Chewbaccer

.....hard to believe Kirk Douglas will be 99 (Dec. ?),....Duke's co-star in "War Wagon",....*Angie Dickinson, Vera Miles, Patrick Wayne, Maureen O'Hara are still with us*.

I think it's safe to say that John Wayne was virtually the same actor in every one of his movies.
The differences and better/worse came from directing, story, cast.
I can't think of any movie that he wasn't the same.

I think that's what makes his movies so great, but others would say the opposite because of the same thing.
