May 26, 2004What Is Your Favorite John Wayne Movie?Whilst on lunch break, I noticed that TCM seems to be running a John Wayne marathon, which reminded me of a conversation with a wonderful friend last night. We were discussing some favorite movies (hated having to tell them that Princess Buttercup married Sean Penn), and our favorite John Wayne movies. My favorite is Hatari! Oft overlooked, it provides a wide range of opportunities, from drama to comedy; emphasized some things I liked; and, the heroine was more than a bit cute. Delicious even. Runner up is Big Jake which is often shown very butchered to make it more PC. To all enemies out there, let me simply say “Not Hardly.” So, what is your favorite John Wayne Movie? LW Posted by wolf1 at May 26, 2004 07:25 PM | TrackBackComments I kind of always had a soft spot for "The Cowboys." Posted by: Craig at May 27, 2004 05:44 PMThe Searchers, gotta be! Posted by: Bugz at May 27, 2004 10:56 PMI'm with you on both choices, though Big Jake edges out Hatari. My #1 pick, though is a three-way tie: True Grit, Rooster Cogburn, and The Shootist. Posted by: Kevin Baker at May 28, 2004 04:12 AMBoy, that's a tough call. There's just too many flavors of movie The Duke made to have one overall favorite. For his westerns, it's a tie between 'The Cowboys' and 'True Grit', with 'The Searchers' and 'Red River' close behind. For his WWII movies, probably 'Sands of Iwo Jima' or 'They Were Expendable'. Stagecoach, The Duke looks like my Dad in that one Posted by: Aquila at May 28, 2004 09:39 AMTough choice. It's not like there's any "unwatchable John Wayne movies". ;] I'd say that for me, it's a tie between Rio Bravo and Big Jake.
