I know everything I need to know about a person if they use "John Wayne" or "cowboy" as a disparaging adjective.
He is my favorite actor and "The Quiet Man" is in my Top 3 all time movies. Maureen O'Hara had a beauty in that movie that is to this day un-matched in cinema....

Rio Bravo is my favorite John Wayne movie. Walter Brennan is just great in it -- he's good enough that you forget that Ricky Nelson and Angie Dickinson can't act. Dean Martin is also great in it. And The Duke was never better -- Don Siegel even used footage from this movie to illustrate the (fictional) career of J. B. Books in opening scenes of The Shootist.

One of my favorites was “The Quiet Man” with Maureen O’Hara but I liked all of his movies. They’re much better than anything in Hollywood today.

I’ve always seen John Wayne as the Frank Sinatra of film. Great body of work over four decades. Not many performers can do that. Great screen presence. Worked wonders without always the best scripts. He transcended scripts...I’d watch him do a commercial over most actors.
For me the quintessential Wayne film is Hondo, about 10 minutes here and there of the best Duke you’ll ever see. Also, the 3 Godfathers is very good and under-appreciated.
God Bless John Wayne!
