As for a John Wayne's film, I enjoyed a 1940 film “The Long Voyage Home” which is not a very well-known movie and did poorly at the box office. Some suggest that the film failed to appeal to the public because it was too dark and lacked romance. That’s probably so but it is well worth a watch..
However, the John Wayne film I enjoy the most is “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance”. Not only do you get one of John Wayne's best performances, but is also one of Jimmy Stewart's greatest starring roles. You get two for one... You absolutely get your money's worth and then some. Plus it’s one of John Ford’s most thought-provoking movies.
As for my top ten. 10. True Grit, 9. El Dorado, 8. The Cowboys, 7. They Were Expendable, 6. The Quiet Man, 5. Red River, 4. Stagecoach, 3. Rio Bravo, 2. The Long Voyage Home, 1. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.
Angie Dickinson considered herself one of the boys, she enjoyed hunting, fishing, drinking, and other “manly” activities. She grew up in North Dakota so hunting, fishing riding horses were in her blood. She grew up during the Great Depression so under that sexy beautiful exterior she was tough as nails.
Such a great list! Didn’t know that about Angie Dickenson either. 😊
Wayne was emotional when he won his Oscar because he was constantly criticized as a one dimensional actor. It was professional recognition and he was genuinely moved.
yes!
1) The Searchers (2) True Grit (3) The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (4) The Quiet Man (5) McClintock (6) She Wore A Yellow Ribbon (7) Rooster Cogburn (8) The Longest Day (9) Rio Bravo (10) The Cowboys are my top 10. btw, thanks for your review of his movies. Love me some Duke and Maureen!!!!!
Us too! Probably one of our favorite movie “couples” ever 😁
True Grit is my first thought when you ask the question of the best, but watching your whole video makes me want to rewatch and watch for the first time others- thanks, my dear ones❤
Happy to hear we gave you some ideas. 😉
"Nothing's too good for the man who shot Liberty Valance."
Great Video as a John Wayne fan for 50 years I really think you did a good job. The break down of the Searchers was amazing! I would have had Hondo on the list.
So tough to keep the list to just 10! We have a much more in depth video on The Searchers in the works 😉
The Quiet Man -- one of my favorite movies of all time.
This is a fun list. I think I'll watch a John Wayne movie tonight!
We love that one too. Thank you for watching.
John Wayne's Ten Best Movies
1.) The Searchers 1956
2.) Red River 1948
3.) Stagecoach 1939
4.) The Sands of Iwo Jima 1949 (War)
5.) Rio Bravo 1959
6.) True Grit 1969
7.) She Wore a Yellow Ribbon 1949
8.) Big Jake 1971
9.) Fort Apache 1948
10.) The Cowboys 1972
Such a great list! There’s a couple on there we need to review 😉
“Big Jake” is on my Top10 Duke films.
It’s on ours too. Thank you for watching.
You have to decide which version of the movie Rio Bravo you like the most because they remade it as El Dorado and Rio Lobo. Tough to beat the cast of Rio Bravo though. Nelson was a multitalented artist who died much too young.
Interesting that you would pick Rick Nelson out of the cast of talented performers. I would, too. I remember he did some good roles even in the 1970s. Sadly, most of this wonderful cast is gone.
The cowboys is my favorite John Wayne movie. Followed by red river
Such a great movie 😊
So hard to narrow the list to 10, let alone a number one. With the Quiet Man, Green Berets, True Grit and Liberty Vallance, narrowing it is so hard, but I always loved Rio Bravo as a great western. I hated his politics, but loved his 🎬.
So many good ones in the top 10
About the only right one on the list is Jenn’s #1. The Searchers is a fantastic movie. Part of me wonders how many of his movies you’ve seen to come up with this list. Many of these are marginal at best. Paycheck films.
Top 10 lists are almost always subjective 😁 What are your top 10?
@@WalkwithHistorythere’s a post on here from some named unimonster that’s pretty close. And my apologies for saying I wonder if you’ve seen all his movies. Reads harsher than I meant it.
No worries at all 😊 YT comments don’t leave a ton of room for nuance 😂 We just appreciate when folks join us and are passionate enough to chat with us here. 😁
Thank you for watching and commenting! 🙂🙌🏻
A forgotten gem The Shepherd of the Hills.
Baby Face is my favorite John Wayne movie. Obviously, I am not a huge John Wayne fan. However, I love Barbara Stanwyck and Wayne has a great bit as one of her lovers as she sleeps her way up an office building.
I haven’t seen that one. I will put it on my list.
Stagecoach on Fort Apache, the quiet man, McClintock, the searchers, Hondo, true grit, the green, berets, big Jake and the Cowboys
Great list!
Hard to pick only 10, but Donovan's Reef is one of my favorites, I agree with Jenn, I would rate The Searchers better than McClintock
Thank you!! It was hard to pick to 10
Good job! I have some films to watch.
Yay!! Let us know which ones you like. 😁
@@WalkwithHistory I would not think McClintock would rank so high because it is intentionally stupid but I will admit it is on my heart.
@expatamerican3234 Lol…that’s why I (scott) liked it. 😂 It’s really close with The Quiet Man…I just preferred the comedies a bit more within this list. 😁 They’re all pretty good though! I think True Grit is a good mix of comedy and western themes.
can't rate top 10 them but here they are HATARI, DONOVANS REEF, HONDO, RIO BRAVO, IN HARMS WAY, EL DORADO, QUIET MAN, WAR WAGON, COMMANCHEROS, TRUE GRIT
So good!
Look up “The Wrecking Crew”. Glenn Campbell was one of the members of the greatest recording studio bands. He was considered one of the best guitar performers EVER.
The Searchers - great performance by JW - my favorite
Mine too!
The John Ford Calvalry trilogy were great and his best war movie, In harms way.
Good call…John Ford was an amazing director
As a veteran of the Viet Nam era, we laughed at how ridiculous this film was. It bore zero resemblance to the conflict. During that time there was so much public opinion against the war, Wayne being an establishment icon, wanted to put that side on film. The war was good and right, to him. As a product of public culture is certainly has value but it is pretty much a wash in my mind as an entertainment vehicle.
Just stumbled onto your channel so a little lat to the party. Great list over all and without a doubt The Searchers is #1. A few I was disappointed was not on the list and in my opinion more deserving then some were are,
The shootist
Rio Lobo
El Dorado
Angel and the badman
and maybe The Comancheros
and The Train Robbers
Problem is he has too many good movies. You should cover The Lonsome Dove Series.
Definitely have some more of his movies to talk about! 😊
True Grit. The Shootist. Stagecoach. The Green Berets. So many amazing films. The Cowboys is special. My grandfather took me to see that. He was my John Wayne grandpa. What a world. Watch Swing Our Country. Its on CZcams.
We’ll look it up!
Well young lady , if you ask me all of his movies are awesome , even the unknown ones . But true grit , the sons of Katie Elder , Hatari , are a few of my favorites... THANK YOU FRANK FROM MONTANA......
Some of those are on the list!!! ♥️but you are correct I love them all. If John Wayne is in it, I’ll watch it.
The Indians in “McLintock” were members of the Navajo nation including John Stanley (“Where’s the whiskey?”). Only Michael Pate (Puma) was a white actor (from Australia!).
Ahhh, interesting
Something totally off topic if you guys are in the uk this year go and see Operation Mincemeat it a comedy musical on the autonomous action in world war 2 well worth the watch.
Best movie: Angel and the badman.
Surprised Stagecoach wasn't on here.
If you like comedy, try North to Alaska
Stagecoach is classic. It does deserve an honorable mention!!! Thank you for watching.
1.They Were Expendable. 2. The Man Who Shot Liberty Vallence. 3. The Sands of Iwo Jima. 4. The cowboys. 5. Hatari. 6. Donovan's Reef. 7. Red River. 8. Flying Leathernecks. 9. Quiet Man. 10. True Grit. 11. The Horse Soldures 12. The Searchers. 13. She wore a yellow Ribbon. 14. Fort Apache, 15 Three Godfathers. Sorry, I just couldnt do 10.
I get it!!! Good List!!! 💪
The Quiet Man !
Yes! We love it too 😁
My favorite would be The Alamo, but True Grit is pretty close. Probably Tall In The Saddle after that. Not many have seen that one
Need to watch the Alamo.
@@WalkwithHistory yes you do...lol
Strother Martin is in Man Who Shot Liberty Valance- he is one of Valance’s men. Andy Devine- “the voice of Friar Tuck”- is the stage coach driver in Stagecoach.
We just saw a preview of stagecoach and saw him! 😁 so cool
Listen to Glenn Campbell play the William Tell Overture
Will do!
I would have had The Quiet Man at 1 ( and like Scott,I watch this film a lot).
My choice for 2 may shock you - The Sands of Iwo Jima.I thought his character of Sgt.Stryker had real depth to it.
Funny how my fave JW movies aren't generally westerns,even though he obviously made some great ones.
Need to watch Sands of Iwo Jima…we love JW!
Ah! Yes! The NEW Pink Head ⚙️ Gear ...... Yea !
🤘♥️🇺🇸
Searchers
🙌🏻 The best!
Stagecoach and the Quiet Man
🙌🏻
True Grit and then The Longest Day
We love those ones too.
The Searchers. Period.
😁
She wore a yellow ribbon and McClintock
I actually saw She Wore a Yellow Ribbon at TCM weekend in LA. It was awesome.
True Grit!
So good!
The shootist
It’s a good one. It made the list.
McClintock!
All are good... but I am really upset that John Wayne and The Fighting Seabees was not listed. That is how we Seabees were established. I don't know, maybe I'm Biased! 😂😂 Can Do!
😂 Maybe we’ll do another John Wayne video in the future and get that in there 😉
The Quiet Man or McClintock
Both so good!
Sent to fast can you guys do something like this video about Abbott and Costello, being old I prefer movies from the past . THANK you again FRANK FROM MONTANA.....
I love older movies too. We plan to compare the 2 Magnificent Seven Movies next.
@@WalkwithHistory no matter what you can't compare the magnificent seven to the new one , I am 70 years old , hate change there is no comparison ( in my opinion ) any of the remakes can't hold water to the original movies.. . As far as movies go everybody in the older movies are for a lack of better words type cast in that role. Example John Wayne as compared to Jeff Bridges ,,, can't be done ! there is only one " one eyed fat man " and it ain't Jeff Bridges. Love his work but common. PS. Steve Mc Queen ( the king of cool ) is in believable. I love all your videos and THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE ! keep up the good work. ..We could go on for a long time comparing old movies cause I'm old LOL.......
Big Jake
It made the list.
The Shootist
It made the list.
Based on the all star cast alone it should be on any John Wayne list. That set must have blown the minds of the crew, extras and visitors. Icons all over the place. Personally I simply loved Scatman Crothers. Richard Boone made such a delicious villain. The script, the cinematography, the editing, it goes on and on in its perfection, in my mind. I just love that movie.@@WalkwithHistory
Nice job. Personally I'm not a big fan of CZcams channels that feature music. I also don't like the folksy presentations or stupid humor. You guys do a nice job, dramatic music notwithstandng. Huge Wayne fan. Being a Viet Nam vet I'd include some of his war films in my top ten. Not Green Berets. That was a joke in so many ways. But Sands of Iwo Jima, Fighting Seabees and Longest Day, among others, have some cinematic merit, IMHO. Keep up the good work. I'll be watching other videos you've dropped for sure.
those are some good movies we need to watch too!
Are you saying you didn't watch all 170 before you made your list!?! Siskel and Ebert are spinning in their respective graves. Be sure to include They Were Expendable and Back to Bataan.@@WalkwithHistory
@@philiplafleur4504 🤣 Jenn has seen quite a few...Scott needs to catch up.
In Harm's Way
😊
Steve worè a yellow rose
Need to watch that 😉
The Alamo
😁🙌🏻
The Cowboys
Soooo good!
Cowboys
So good!
We definitely have different taste in John Wayne films. Half of the films you picked are lesser John Wayne films. How is "Red River" not on the list? It's a legit classic film. You don't have a single movie from John Ford's Cavalry Trilogy. No "Stagecoach"? "They Were Expendable"? "Hondo"? "Sands of Iwo Jima"? 😳
😂 This list is slightly subjective for sure…but that’s why we love hearing from other JW fans! 😊
@@WalkwithHistory one man that wasn't a fan of John Wayne was Joseph Stalin. He actually sent KGB agents to kill the Duke. Legit true story. It's been declassified.
BIG JAKE
It’s on the list. ♥️
Searchers
yes!!!
