The Unforgiven deserves at least an honorable mention somewhere as does The Cowboys.
I’d swap the top two. The Searchers is actually one of the best film ever done in any genre.
gree the Cowboys is a lesson in life. Wayne leads the boys on a cattle drive however he leads them to manhood.
So true on both movies! I LOVED and cried with the John Wayne Movie ‘The Cowboys’. And also Unforgiven needs to be up there too. The outlaw Josey Wales was pretty good to me too.
