John Wayne has 178 movies and etc. Listed on Imdb. He was prolific.

I would add the Band of Brothers series.Definitely not going to be something my 10 year old daughter is going to be able to handle.

10yo girl would probably enjoy Grant in Operation Petticoat.

Rio Lobo is a good movie..The Tall Men staring Clark Gable & Jane Russell is a good movie. I like Rory Calhoun and Randolph Scott movies..

The Cowboys. Kids your age have to fill the breach when there dads run off with silver fever. Saw it for the first time in ages just a few weeks ago.
To: newbie 10-21-00
Oops, kids the ages of yours have to fill the breach. Forgot about the change in the ending it had been so long
To: DesertRhino
Of course it is.
Thats why you have them watch Battle of Britain, Tora Tora Tora, Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo and Midway.

âThe Searchersâ is probably Wayneâs best western, though not necessarily the best for kiddiesAgree. I have seen The Searchers many, many times. Wayne's character is not a pure protagonist. He is admirable in many ways but also flawed. I am not sure a kid could separate the bad from the good.

The Searchers is my favorite John Wayne movie, but Big Jake or True Grit is what I’d suggest for kids.
FWIW, Shane is my favorite Western. I loved that one as a kid and still do.

I will have to add Red River and The Alamo, But I would not argue with your choices

I am with you when it comes to westerns. I had to go through 44 posts before it was mentioned for the first time. For westerns I would choose The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance also.
To: Rummyfan
I am with you there. I find it hard to believe it is only listed twice in the first 85 posts. In another year it could have won best actor for him, but I heard that year was the best ever for movies.
To: pepsi_junkie
To: Retain Mike
Funny thing. I came across both Red River, and Liberty Valance a few years back on TCM. Great stuff. Like most of The Dukes work.

"The Shepherd of Kingdom Come ? Think that is the name of it."
The Shepherd of the Hills (1941)
Very good movie, but I think Harry Carey took it away from John Wayne.
