I disagree with you Mourice, about The Searchers. Classics are always a bit dated, but pop culture doesn't define anything that is a classic until the pop culture represented defines an era or style. The Searchers comes from a time when its racism and sexism were not integrated into main stream movies, and John Wayne almost always took the high road in his character's personal relationships. It spans many years and includes love, loss, and and family in a way that many westerns can't even touch. You've got some very good and interesting picks, however.

good lord-who did this list!

Waynes best film–The Searchers- to put its paleface stepson the missing on there is to be afraid of its subject and dialogue.

She wore a yellow ribbbon? another Ford masterpiece

i wont go into the ones that are on there that shouldnt be- that list is way too long, pardner.

Everyone's taste is different. Lots of great films mentioned. Hard for anyone to name their top movies, no matter the number, 10..20..50…
My favorites: Shane, The Professionals, The Searchers, Hondo, Red River, Stagecoack (39), High Noon, Hombre, The Wild Bunch, and Seargent Rutledge. Talking about new one films not measuring up, what about Crossfire Trail? It's all about entertainment.

How about Cowboy with Glen Ford, and Jack Lemmon playing the part of Frank Harris, a real city slicker who went out West to write about it.

At least one of you mentioned Vera Cruz, thanks for that.

Also, no comedies and parodies, please.

Mr. Wayne made so many rollicking great Westerns, I would include most of them. Maybe, give honorable mention to the black and whites made by Gene Autrey, Roy Rogers, Johnny Mac Brown, Tim Holt, Randolph Scott, William Boyd, and many more who captivated me in my childhood in the Saturday matinees.
