    Enjoyed your 100 westerns of all times but was a little dissapointed that there were not more John Wayne films included,especially "the Spoilers"(1942) and "War of the wildcats" formely "In old OLkahoma"1944.Who could ever forget the splendid performance by Albert Dekker and Binnie Barnes.Also you forgot 1947's "Ramrod" and 1948's "Four faces west" Shame on you.
