True Grit will be watched a 100 years from now..
Another durable and timeless classic...
-
In my humble opinion, both of Waynes most powerful performances are True Grit and The Shootist...
With Hepburn in the Rooster Cogburn, and Becall in the Shootist...he really hit his stride...
His best work was with powerful and veteran supporting actresses...as he grew older...

The Shootist, is my all time favorite JW movie. with True Grit, The Cowboys, and Big Jake following very closely behind.

What a classic scene in Shootist when Books is in the Barber shop and the undertaker comes in and expresses regret at first for Books impending demise...while simultaneously applying good old fashioned turn of the century capitalism in an attempt to be the final guardian of Books' remains...and even more delicious is when Books calls him on it and shoves it back in his face...
Books: "I admire a man with get up and go"
Undertaker: "The early bird gets the worm"
...
After Books stuffs it in his face for anticipating the windfall the undertaker will make on Books' notoriety...he squeezes the undertaker for 50 bucks...and charges him for the privilege of burying him..
Meanwhile Books has no problem conceding the barber the locks of hair on the floor...
Classic Wayne
:rofl

i watched all of those on AMC this weekend

McClintock is my favorite Wayne film. Great comedy especially in the mud slide fight.
-
One of his best films, more ironic in that when he made it he knew he was dieing.
One of a few movies he 'died' in - I'll kick it off:
1) The Shootist
2) The Cowboys
3) The Sands of Iwo Jima
At least another 3 or so out there......

Great moment from "The Cowboys"

Great moments in speech therapy
Gotta admit I've used similar hard tactics for getting my own kids to do something I knew they are able to but they did not believe they could.
It works

True Grit
The High and the Mighty
El Dorado
Tronsky

I watched it again a month or two back. It's a excellent film, and would be his best performance if it wasn't for... 'The Green Berets' :D

The Shootist is also one of my favorites. Along with Big Jake, Cowboys, True Grit and many others.
Help me out though. I was trying to remember the name of the movie where John Wayne plays an oil rig firefighter, the character's was named Red Adair I think, but the name of the movie is not coming to me. :headscratch:

Hellfighters

Yup!!
I have his whole movie collection.
Hellfighters filmed a lot of scenes at Baytown Texas. Red Adair is still a big name in these parts.

Always loved "The Horse soldiers". All of his War films are classics. Of course he always had John Ford, One of the best Directors that ever lived.
