Ranking John Wayne movies from worst......

feddoc · May 3, 2017

Well, there is no 'worst' John Wayne movies.

I clicked on the link anyway because I wanted to revisit the ones I liked more.

He had more than a few attractive female co-stars.

They did pretty good on their list. The Searchers is probably his best movie. I like The Quiet Man a lot. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance is one of my favorite and is often forgotten when John Wayne is brought up. It is a very well written story. Watched just two weeks ago again.

Thanks for posting.

As in:
Maureen
Ann Margarnett
Patricia Neal

That is by memory.

He had several 1 night stands w/others in his B Western days (supporting actresses that didn't have much of a career after that one movie).
John 14:6

I liked True Grit for many reasons but John made lots of good films.

I like the Westerns--especially the ones where he rides a horse so small that his boots drag in the dirt.

True Grit

SlinginLead · May 4, 2017

I enjoy all of his westerns. True grit is definitely up there
as one of my favorites.
I attended a small, private high school in Canon City, Colorado in the early '70's. A good portion of the movie was shot in the surrounding area. Later, I went back for a 10 year reunion and stayed in a hotel next to the school. Some of the rooms had plaques on the doors of cast members who stayed in those rooms. I got lucky and ended up in John Wayne's room.
A good friend of one of my sisters was a training nurse at UCLA when John Wayne had a lung removed. She was assigned to
the nurses who were helping him with his recovery.
He was truly one of a kind.

Yes! Was there in '71 & '72. Was a great place for a kid from Los Angeles!

Did you ever run in to a family, I think they sent 3 or 4 kids there, with the last name of Tonso?

Yes, Tom Tonso. I was a Freshman when he was a senior. I remember him because he was a running back on the varsity football team. He was also a member of the glee club and played the bass. I believe he may have been the youngest to attend the Abbey.

We had a number of students from all over the state. Places like Steamboat Springs, Colorado Springs, Durango, Monte Vista, Craig, Danby, La Junta, and so on. Not to mention students from numerous other states. I recall a guy who was a class ahead of me, Brian Sweitzer, from Billings, Montana. He later became a two term governor of Montana. It's to bad the school closed down in the '80's, it was quite a place. My youngest brother graduated from their and a brother-in-law ran the food service for several years.

LAST EDITED ON May-09-17 AT 09:14AM (MST)[p] Tom and I were good friends. I dated his oldest sister for awhile and know his family very well. He and I killed many coors banquet beers from the 70s up through the late 80s. He was going to school at Adams State College in Alamosa and I was in the Navy. Tom's dad got him an awesome moose hunt somewhere in Alaska in the 70s. He made a huge coffee table out of the rack. He and I hunted deer and elk together in the mid 70s.

Tom was married to a girl named Jaxine; they had two kids.
Unfortunately Tom died in a single vehicle accident in Wyoming.

His parent were good decent people. He had two brothers and two sisters.

I've known a lot of good kids who went to The Abbey.

The Searchers
In Harms Way
The Quiet Man
(both not exactly westerns)
In Moab, off the beaten path is an old convience store. There is a picture of the owner (I think) taken when he was about 10, when Wayne was in the area making the Comancheros. Btw, Wayne is not wearing his toupee in the pic. It is across the street from "Milts" and old.fashioned burger place...plan on waiting in line (lots of biz)
The Trilogy....I think, She Wore Yellow Ribbon, Ft Apache and ?
The Horse Soldiers
