John Wayne was mostly in westerns, and when it wasn’t a western, he was not comfortable in the role.
Clint Eastwood has had a much more diverse acting career, but has has many more R rated movies with more interesting story lines and roles.
Clint Eastwood - better actor and director

The Quite Man. Hubby has worn out multiple copies.
Dang phone. The Quiet Man.
I heartily disagree, all you have to do is watch The Quiet Man, Donovan's Reef or Hatari to see that isn't true. I would not put one above the other, Wayne and Eastwood have great similarities and also very different strengths. But in the end they are completely equal as patriots.
