The Shootist, a John Wayne movie, is a good one too.
Not your typical cowboy movie.
I do believe that it was John Wayne’s last movie and died shortly afterwards.

Yup. The Shootist is a great, great movie. John Wayne’s last, while he was dying (and he knew he was dying), playing a character who was also dying and knew it. An aged cowboy, out of time and out of place. The perfect final movie for the Duke. Co-starring his buddy Jimmy Stewart (who also knew the Duke was dying (in the movie and in real life). What a Swan Song!!
