No, but I picked up a special edition of The Quiet Man for less than $10.00 a few years ago.
The movies are - McLintock! (authentic collectors edition), The High and the Mighty (special collectors ed. 2 dvd), The Shootist (his last role), The Man who shot Liberty Valance, The Sons of Katie Elder, El Dorado, Big Jake, Hondo (special collectors ed.), True Grit (special collectors ed.), Rio Lobo, In Harm's Way, Island in the Sky (special collectors ed.), Donovan's Reef and Hatari!

In Harm’s Way.
The best John Wayne movie of all time.
One of the top 3 movies of all time.
IMHO

The real name appears to be Encore Westerns rather than the Western Channel.

If you have cable or satellite, it is under Encore. They have westerns channel, action, mystery, love, WAM, and Encore regular channel

Thanks! I’ll tune in after The Quiet Man on AMC.
To: I Drive Too Fast; Loyal Buckeye
Thanks. Don’t get it. Guess I’ll have to settle for The Quiet Man. :-)

The problem is now we have people following movie stars around 24/7 and their is no mystique left. Where once their was glamor we are now left with seeing them stumble out of clubs at 4 in the morning. And then someone asks them what they think about politics.
Many of the best actors are the ones who know how to stay out of the spotlight, and when they show up it is to publicize their movie not their latest pet cause. I never see or hear of Gary Oldman (the best going today imho) out pimping some cause. Of course I can't guarantee I can recognize him he looks so much different in every role. Ryan Gosling is a younger actor I could say the same thing about.

I kinda liked the Quiet Man, but then Maureen O’Hara was in that too..

John Wayne movies, not Michael Moore and global warming movies, are what we should show to kids in school. The virtues of masculinity, toughness, loyalty and love of one’s country are ALL verboten these days. Unbelievable.

A coworker remarked to me once that he had never seen a John Wayne movie. {strange, considering he looked to be in his mid thirties} One day, he shows up all excited from watching “True Grit” the night before....He was hooked.

I have likely seen them all and the best, IMHO, was Rio Grande.

Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It’s perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we’ve learned something from yesterday. John Wayne

Victor McLaglen was a riot in that...
I liked the Wayne/Randolph Scott fight scene in Pittsburgh.
Heck, we could talk and debate John Waynes’ best all night...
