I always liked The Quiet Man. Not a western but set in Ireland

this thread is a rerun a bunch of times over, but the last time I saw one, I realized I'd misplaced my copy of "The Searchers". ordered replacement DVD immediately, and took delivery today.  El Dorado + Rio Lobo also among my favorites (essentially same plot). Big Jake and probably my all time favorite.... "The Cowboys"

The Shootist, hands down.

Probably Big Jake. Not easy to pick just one.

El Dorado was a re-make of Rio Bravo and Rio Lobo was a re-make of El Dorado. Surprisingly, the Duke seldom died in a movie. The Cowboys was an exception. He also died in Wake of the Red Witch, Reap the Wild Wind, The Shootist, Sands of Iwo Jima and The Alamo.

I don’t remember John Wayne making a bad movie.
Today hollywierd could take note.

I like "The Cowboys" best. To me, John Wayne is a far better fit for the settled rancher than he is for the loner gunfighter.

Within the G-rating constraints I think the writers did a good job of depicting how bad Wayne wanted to ravage Ann Margaret in the Train Robbers.
Sexual innuendoes flying off the shelf; boil that shirt, let them stand out. Let that hair down, let them see your a woman, on & on throughout the movie.
I just wanted to watch a western. But finally had to turn it off & go to my room.
