John Wayne's Top Three Movies.

[Smokey]

This month is Duke’s birth day, so it might be appropriate to choose his best top three movies. Searchers [IMO] is definitely is his best, but bottom two might get tricky here as opinions will vary.

So here is my list, ranked accordingly:

1. Searchers (1956): At his best, and toughest. He have the same “tone” tone here as in Red River, but in color.


2. Rio Bravo (1959): Not only top notch performance from Duke, Dean Martin and Walter Brennon, but also a top notch story and movie.


3. Stage Coach(1939): He does not appear until almost 1/4 into the move, but his appearance by the side of road as Stagecoach come to screeching halt might be one of the best character introduction in movie history.
