Why do all of you think John Wayne was so good? I have no problem with him as a person and I think the movies were classics, of course, but he really was not so hot as an actor. Now, Paul Newman, that man could ACT (excluding the Silver Chalice of course).
I think John Wayne was the quintessential American.
Rugged,individualistic,and self-sufficiant.
He didn’t ask anyone for anything.
I respect your opinion about Paul Newman,but what movie did he ever appear in that would compare with “The Sands of Iwo Jima”,or “The Longest Day”?
Newman was considered one of the “new-school” actors,along with Marlon Brando.
I’m relatively young for my age,(that’s a joke,son)but I never got the mystique of Newman,Brando, or the other “Anti-Heroes”.
But,again,that’s just me.
