(considering all of the other stars)


one of my favorites none the less.


I hesitated a but before picking that one, because it was an ensemble cast, but I think it's the best film he was ever involved in.

I'll throw in a couple of others though:

In Harm's Way
The Sands of Iwo Jima

I saw The Cowboys as a little kid, have never liked that actor that shot John Wayne in the back ever since. :furious

Bruce Dern

Tattoo was another one.

Too many good ones, no ONE fav.

I like most of his work, but among the top, and in no particular order:

In Harms Way (has to be in top three)
The Horse Soldiers
The Undefeated
Rio Bravo
El Dorado (didn't see this one listed yet)
Chisum
Big Jake
Hellfighters
The Green Berets
They Were Expendable
McClintock
North To Alaska

Many of his other works are still good, and worth watching, but these are the ones I've sat through over and over again over the past 30 years or so.

Which one is it where he had an old bullet in his shoulder and had to cycle the Winchester one-handed (later copied by Arnie in T2)?

That one.

In El Dorado, the bullet was in his back, not his shoulder. Michelle Carey shot him in the back early in the movie. And later saved his life by shooting Ed Asner.

It was sort of a remake of Rio Bravo, and later he did Rio Lobo, which was also a remake of Rio Bravo.

Knew that...Didnt want to say anyone was mistaken. I don't recall one where he was using that 30-30 with one arm because of a bad shoulder...but then again...its very possible.


El Dorado

Gaily bedight,
A gallant knight,
In sunshine and in shadow,
Had journeyed long,
Singing a song,
In search of Eldorado.

But he grew old
This knight so bold
And o'er his heart a shadow
Fell as he found
No spot of ground
That looked like Eldorado.

And, as his strength
Failed him at length,
He met a pilgrim shadow
"Shadow," said he,
"Where can it be-
This land of Eldorado?"

"Over the Mountains Of the Moon,
Down the Valley of the Shadow,
Ride, boldly ride,"
The shade replied
"If you seek for Eldorado!"

They were all watchable ... love Wayne movies.

The Shootist ... great cast.
The Searchers ... best movie.
Red River ... Good acting job, later The Cowboys.

Then there was ...

The Conqueror ... Wayne in a fu man chu and oriental eye makeup ... Mongols speaking Shakespearean lines.
 
"I feel this Tartar woman is for me, and my blood says, take her. There are moments for wisdom and moments when I listen to my blood; my blood says, take this Tartar woman." (Wayne)
and
"Kumlik's daughter! Spawn of the devil! Let your men make sport with her!" (Agnes Moorehead)
"No, mo-ther, I will keep this wo-man for my own plea-sure!" (Wayne)

Easily a all time worst 50 film and winner of the prestigious Golden Turkey Award ... but fun to watch never the less.
