Shane maybe.

Rio Bravo

I think there is a federal law or statute against mentioning Rio Bravo without also mentioning El Dorado.

We'll let it go this time but don't let it happen again.

Another really really bad John Wayne movie is “Jet Pilot”.
its only redeeming features are some cool flying scenes with F86 Sabres. You really hate it when it goes back to the people & the dialog.

Yeah the Wayne movie, “The Conquerors” is in my special DVD collection of movies “So Bad Their Good!”.

Who in the WORLD placed Rio Bravo in front of Stagecoach and the Sands of Iwo Jima??!! Not to mention the Quiet Man??!! Perhaps you should stick to your favorite “Pee Wee Herman” or “Ted and Bill’s” movies in the future.

[GrouchoTex]

I’d go with Red River as my favorite. Maybe we should go the a top 15 list?

Include:

The Cowboys

The Shootist

All 3 John Ford/Monument Valley Cavalry movies

‘89?

They were really good in ‘49 and ‘57!

PISC didn’t allow fliks back in the ‘50s—it was much better that way.

[ebshumidors]

Who could top ‘Sands’ lines such as “No one ever starts out to get knee walking, commode hugging drunk” and “I’ll sail again”!

And “El Dorado” instead of “Rio Bravo”. Although the two movies had the same plot, Robert Mitchum playing the Dean Martin part in “El Dorado” made it a much better movie because the very talented Mitchum, unlike the over rated Martin, had to do some acting to play a drunk.

I agree but you gotta admit, Dean didn't have to act to play the part!

[houeto]

Darn I feel stupid. Your post went clean over my head till I hit the “post” button...LMAO!

[mad_as_he$$]

That was busted by the Discovery channel.

[11Bush]

Absolutely! There are a bunch that I didn't list. Trying to go off the top of my head and in a rush to post.

War Wagon
Rooster Cogburn
The Train Robbers
Cahill, US Marshal
Hellfighters
Cast a Giant Shadow
Hatari

Operation Pacific
The Fighting Kentuckian

...and about one hundred more that I can't recall at the moment. LOL.

'Randolph Scott was much better than John Wayne'

snicker

Yeah....maybe when it came to playin' graba$$ with the girlie boys! Otherwise, no comparison

[RepRivFarm]

Our family favorite was always McClintock! Having raised three girls, when they got PO'd at their beaus they'd always quote the movie:

"Shoot him daddy! Shoot him! You're my father and if you love me you'll shoot him!"

[goat granny]

You are right it was Shane......TY
