Top 10 John Wayne Movies

**Another vote here for The Quiet Man, one of my favorite films. I also like most of the others named here except The Conquerer (of course SPOOFE was only spoofin’ – right?). Add Wings of Eagles and Sands of Iwo Jima.

I thought I had seen most of John Wayne’s films, but I admit I’ve never even heard of **The Shepherd of the Hills ** or The Long Voyage Home. Where did I go wrong? **

Don’t be so hard on yourself, Geez. I’m one of the most avowed Duke fans you’ll meet, and even I haven’t seen all 152 of his movies. Of course, some - like The Conquerer, I wish I’d never seen at all, but they’re fewer than 5% of his output.

Baby Face (1933). OK, John Wayne only has a three-line bit part in it, but damn it’s a good movie!

Loved Big Jake and *Rio Bravo.

LOL, Eve, I totally forgot he was in Baby Face! That movie is amazing!

You can’t be blamed for the rather obscure Shepherd, but you’ve never heard of The Long Voyage Home!?! Cinematography by Gregg Toland (who shot Citizen Kane the following year)! Adapted from Eugene O’Neill! Even a Best Picture nominee!

Some rectifying is in order–get thee to a video store (preferably non-Blockbuster) post haste!

No one’s mentioned The Cowboys? Are you people daft?

Sands of Iwo Jima
Stagecoach

I’m not a big fan.
