That's a difficult question to answer. I've only seen a few, but they were all damn good: - The Man who shot Liberty Valance - True Grit - The Quiet Man - The Shootist - The Longest Day - The one where he's a Marine pilot in the pacific during WW2 (The Flying Leathernecks??) - The one where he's an Airforce pilot who falls in love with a Russian pilot and goes to Russia, then comes back - The Searchers and a few others that I can't think of. |

Ned Pepper: What's your intention? Do you think one on four is a dogfall? Rooster Cogburn: I mean to kill you in one minute, Ned. Or see you hanged in Fort Smith at Judge Parker's convenience. Which'll it be? Ned Pepper: I call that bold talk for a one-eyed fat man. Rooster Cogburn: Fill your hands, you son of a bitch. Trivia for True Grit (1969) When submitted for a rating from the MPAA in 1969, the film was given an "M". The film was edited and re-rated "G". The only film for which John Wayne ever won an Oscar. John Wayne had met singer Karen Carpenter on a college show he hosted prior to the shooting of this movie. Wayne was so impressed that he wanted Carpenter cast in the role of Mattie Ross. John Wayne reportedly chased costar Dennis Hopper around Paramount with a loaded gun. Hopper had to hide in Glen Campbell's dressing room until Wayne cooled down. The scene near the end where Rooster Cogburn (John Wayne) and Ned Pepper's gang meet in a field and Pepper (Robert Duvall) is shot is filmed in a clearing near the top of Owl Creek Pass outside Ridgway, Colorado. The field is off the road to the left and is very easy to find. Chimney Peak is visible in the famous shoot out scene at the end. Chimney Peak is part of the Cimmaron Range outside Ridgway, Colorado. Mia Farrow, among other well-known actresses, was approached to play Mattie, but she turned it down. She later said it was one of the biggest professional mistakes of her career. Tuesday Weld also turned down the role of Mattie. After judging The Carpenters on a talent show, John Wayne had Karen Carpenter read for the part of Mattie. The producers went with Kim Darby, who had acting experience, however Wayne did not like working with her, because he felt she was unprofessional on the set. Elvis Presley was considered for the role of La Boeuf, the Texas Ranger. Marguerite Roberts was a formerly blacklisted writer. John Wayne knew this before he read the script. He read it and liked it. He ignored people who said he shouldn't work on anything that a "blacklisted" writer wrote. The gang's cave hideout (beds partially intact), snake pit, and various prop rocks can still be seen on private property outside Ouray, Colorado. |

[Big Jake] Not Hardly [/Big Jake] Big Jake is top 5 but True Grit was probably his best, The Cowboys and The Shootist close seconds. |

When I was young and saw the scene in True Grit, when John Wayne is charging the Ned Pepper and his men at the end of the movie with two guns blazing and reigns in his teeth, that image was burned into my head as to what real men did.............

I stand corrected on El Dorado.
Now, for the bonus question: John Wayne played a Mongolian barbarian in one of his earliest flicks. Name it? |

The Cowboys
Bruce Dern's Charachter: "What do you think I am Mister?" JW's Charachter: "I think you're the vermin ridden sonafabitch you are!" That is up there on the list of my favorite JW movies. OR George Kennedy's Char.: "Cayhill, you'de shoot ah deadman!" Cayhill: "Well I ain't gonna let em shoot me!" |

Michael was a in several movies as a kid but he did not really act he produced. You mean Patrick... Again he did several movies as a kid with no credit Rio Grand the first if I remember right… Mister Roberts was his first movie with a credit. The Searchers was the first movie with his dad in which he got a credit, he played a young cavalry officer with a pointy sword. |
