John Wayne's Top Three Movies.

[Smokey]

To bad the Duke couldn't have hung around long enough to do a western with Clint Eastwood. That would have been something.

Oh man, that would be a movie to watch. I am drooling thinking about it.

May be a continuation of Good, Bad and Ugly where Duke is a sheriff, and Eastwood as an outlaw with fastest gun where he switch side at end to save Dukes life. And Eli Wallach as town’s drunk

What do you mean by 'hung around'? He died in 79, made THE SHOOTIST in 1976...at this point Clint was making Westerns for over a decade.

I guess a better way to put it would have been, when they were both in their prime.
The Duke from El Dorado not the old guy in Shootist.

Ok, well that still doesn't make sense because then they would have to be the same age. You said that "too bad the Duke couldn't hang on long enough to do a film with Clint", which implies that he lived longer in my mind. Anyway, it would have been cool to see them do a film together, but their Westerns are quite different.

That is one thing we can agree on. Their westerns were very different. I can't remember a movie where Wayne played a character that was on the wrong side of the law. Where as Eastwood was (except for Hang em High) usually making his own brand of justice.
