So I haven't seen all of them, yet. And I grew up ignoring them when my dad watched. And, of course, my husband likes them.
But I finally found a good one!

Angel and the Badman! I REALLY enjoyed that one!  ;D

With me it is a toss-up between two, "Big Jake", And "The Quiet Man."

Those aren't too bad..... ;D


And my second favorite is In Old California!
I get tickled seeing John Wayne as a Bostonian!  ;)

Not to bad?? I loved seeing John Wayne playing a romantic part. That was out of chactare for him. The hill of Ireland where the movie was filmed were great. I wish at times I could live there durning that time. :'(

"Not too bad..." is high praise from me for a John Wayne movie!  :P My 8 year old likes "The Quiet Man" and she HATES the old movies! I might like it more if I stayed awake through the whole thing? ???



I can't wait to give my husband "She Wore A Yellow Ribbon". I've heard I'll like it almost as much as "Angel...."

Okay, I will accept that sincereheart. It is almost as good as Angel and the Badman.

Ooh! Then I look forward to it!  ;D

Did you know that 'Yellow Ribbon' is part 2 of a trilogy?
K, you probably did, but I didn't. Part 3 is Rio Grande, which we have. Part 1 is unavailable.... >:(

I do NOT like The Cowboys!  :'(

:'(
It's okay but, the movie needs alot of help.

BUT HE DIED!  :'(  :'(  :'(

He's not s'posed to in the movies!  :'(

*BIG SOB*

I'm almost over it!  ::)

Well then I guess that is a good thing.................






[size=22]NOT!![/size]

 :P


And The Shootist makes me sad, too!  :P

Well he knew he was almost not able to finish that movie. John Wayne knew he was almost out of time.

Well that shore doesn't make it LESS sad!  :P

I know, I also know where his ranch was in Springerville, Arizona. It's about 40 miles from my home.

Ooh! Neat! Have you been to see it?


I like Rooster Cogburn. Glen Campbell and he's sober!  :P

Yes, I had a friend that worked replacing Glass. He had a broken window, I went along to help him. John Wayne was there but the closeset I could get was about 200 feet away. :)

Ah! That's a neat story!  :D

I like the idea of him living on a ranch! Sounds right!  :D

Is it available for tourists now?  ???

No the family sold the ranch. :'(

Ah well..... I'd probably never get over there, anyway!  :-\

How many of his movies do you have?

13
Thats also my lucky number. ;D

LOL!  ;D

I'm trying to get 'em all for my husband! Definitely a labor of love!  :-X

Now you only need about 200 more to have the complete collection!  :-X

Brat!!

I didn't need to know that!! :P

 ;D  8)

So you're collecting 'em, too? Well then that might be a race that I can beat you in!  ;D We've got 37, so far.... :P

Boo, Hiss..................................  :o

Well I am going to try and get a little sleep. I still have't slept since yesterday.

The theme song to The Quiet Man ( also with Maureen O'Hara?  :)), The Isle of Inisfre, is beautiful.   :)


We have one John Wayne movie.  

McClintock!


    :)

If you have cable, then you don't need any. They seem to run 'em all the time.... ;)

I remember reading in one of several books by the noted author, William Manchester, either Memoirs, about his own experiences as a marine in WWII in the South Pacific, or in his major work, American Caesar, about Gen. McArthur, an apparently suppressed story that on a tour once in Hawaii, John Wayne visited a hospital amputee ward, and was booed out.


   :-X


    :-\

I've never seen the story anywhere else.
I went back to find the account, it's just several sentences, and couldn't relocate it; but I'm pretty sure it's in one of those two books.  (Manchester wrote also a major biography, I believe, on JFK, in the 60s.)
