I met Clint Eastwood when he was filming Space Cowboys. He was an A**Hole from the get go. He hardly spoke to anyone and took one group pic the whole time he was in our facility. The Duke gets my vote!

I'm a huge fan of Clints spagetti westerns..Unforgiven is one of my favorite movies. But The Duke had something no other actor had. There probably isn't a man anywhere that grew up watching him that didn't want to be just like him.
Rooster Cogburn rocks. |

You're kidding, right? A liberal anti-gunner who never did anything if it didn't make him money, or a true American who did whatever he could to help his country, even if never served in the Armed Forces?

Must have something to do with your age. Older folks, such as myself, will probably choose John Wayne, younger folks, Clint Eastwood. I mean Clint's a fine guy, but until you see John Wayne in [b]'The Searchers'[/b], you have no idea what a true American Western is all about! Eric The(Or'Stagecoach'Or'TheAlamo')Hun[>]:)] |

Eastwood was very good in "Unforgiven", one of the best, if not the best western ever made.
Wayne was larger than life however. |

I think it's like comparing apples to oranges. Now I'm only 22 years old have seen all of Eastwood movies and most of John Wayne movies. I'd have to say John Wayne is the best of the two just look at him in Big Jake, Hell fighters and Red River.
Now this maybe off the subject but the Duke was a better actor he could do any role you placed him in unlike Clint witch sucked in love roles. SO I SAY THE DUKE ALL THE WAY. but I still like Clint Eastwood also he is in my top three favorite actors. |

I'd like to see something a bit more indicting than anecotal evidence as far as Clint being an anti-gunner. Just because someone says it that doesn't make it true.
My vote goes to the Duke. |

I would put Clint up there with the "Duke" .... but then I remember "Bronco Billy" and "Every Which Way but Loose"!
Bronson and Lee Marvin are up there too! Both in "Death Hunt"! The Duke....The Searchers, The Shootist, Big Jake, True Grit.....and all the others! The Duke gets my vote! DaMan |

My buddy keeps saying the Duke was gay. I said no way, but he insists that he was in the closet like Rock Hudson.
For this discussion, I am gonna choose Clint. He did westerns: (Good/Bad/Ugly, Fistful of Dollars, Hang Em High, etc. Also Outlaw Josey Wales, 2 Mules, Paint your wagon) He did cops (Dirty Harry, Magnum Force, Sudden Impact, City Heat, Etc.) He did soldiers ( Where Eagles dare, Heartbreak Ridge, Kellys Heroes, Eiger) He did romances (Pink Cadillac, Play Misty 4 me, Bronco Billy, The Gauntlet, etc.) He did comadies ( Any which way you can, every way but loose, Etc.) He made duds (Space cowboys, Thunderbolt/Lightfoot) He even did a TV series and he sings and directs too. I just think he is the more versatile of the two. I'll admit, the Duke did make many more movies, but he wasn't in anything good until WWII. Those pre-1940 movies were like TV shows. As far as who would whip who in a fist fight or gunfight, it depends. |

[i]Hey - he got the Duke pissed, but he got Clint to sing![/i][;D] I've recently seen two bios on the Duke. He filed for an exemption from WWII in order to protect his growing stardom in Hollywood. Officially, it was for 'family responsibilities', but it was because he could make more money as a star as opposed to a GI. He was NOT exempted for a football injury, as many Duke fans like to claim. I've seen websites that make that claim, but those sites were hosted by Wayne fans. Don't get me wrong, I like his movies and I like him, he is just not the hero that everyone makes him out to be. He placed his personal needs ahead of loyalty to country in a situation like WWII. There are many stars who actually served in WWII, like Jimmy Stewart, Lee Marvin, Robert Stack, and many more. They were heroes, not the Duke. |

I dunno..I think James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart, Edward G. Robinson, and George Raft are pretty hard to beat as tough guys.
For Westerners...The Duke and Eastwood are OK as tough guys..but I think Yule Brenner is one bad a** dude (Magnificent Seven) Also Charles Bronson. |

OK Guys,
The Duke actually walked out of the hospital after having his lung removed( two packs a day will do that). He didn't want the reporters to show him in a wheel chair - he thought his fans might think he was a wussie! That's pretty damn tough for a guy from California named Marion!! |

This sounds a lot like the Elvis/Beatles arguement. Seems like you are either for one or the other.
Personally I'd go with John Wayne. He had an undeniable screen presence and was truly larger than life. |

Post from LARRYG -
There are many stars who actually served in WWII, like Jimmy Stewart, Lee Marvin, Robert Stack, and many more. They were heroes, not the Duke. And John Wayne would be the first to admit to that! But sometimes, a nation needs its heroes on the big screen, acting out its collective fanatsies about beating the Krauts and Japs, and so we need to give credit to those who serve in other ways as well.
