She Wore a Yellow Ribbon

McClintock
Big Jake (I think that's the title, where he goes to recover his kidnapped grandson)
Rio Bravo
Yellow Ribbon
Hatari

Those are the ones I like the most. I thought he was ok in that Sub movie but I can't recall the title.

Quiet Man was filmed in color.  In B & W it would be difficult for Ford to explain the effect of Maureen O'Haras red hair against the green of the emerald isle has on Sean Thornton.

Glenn Campbell ruined True Grit AFAIC. The later movie with the Rooster Cogburn character and Maureen OHara was a far better one.

I recall one movie where Wayne played a Detective and ended up using a MAC10 (MG) in it. I can't think of the title at all. CRS strikes again.

Guess I didn't answer the question yet...

I have in my very incomplete collection:

The Quiet Man
Sons of Katie Elder
The Cowboys
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance

Have to add at least a few more.

"movie with the Rooster Cogburn character and Maureen OHara was a far better one."

Rooster Cogburn and the Lady was Katherine Hepburn

Hmm, the copy I have on VHS is in B+W, thats I always remembered it. (EDIT- IMDB says it was filmed in color, so why do I have it in B+W??)

Glad to see other people liked Yellow Ribbon, I had a heck of a time tracking that one down a few years back on VHS.
