What is your favorite John Wayne film?

I was fortunate to meet Mr. Wayne on June 21, 1966 while serving with Lima 3rd Battalion 7th Marines in Chu Lai, Vietnam. Nicest and down to earth man.

Loved every Wayne movie when I was a kid. Saturday nights I'd stay up watching what ever John Wayne movie was on.

I've loved John Wayne for as long as I can remember. I started to get my children to watch his movies. My youngest said that North to Alaska is her favorite. I don't have a favorite cause I love them all. I was devastated when he past away. What makes my blood boil is him being canceled. On a lighter note I bought one of his cookbooks and it's filled with pictures and movie trivia. RIP Duke.

When men were men. A true great.

Watching his movies always made me feel good inside. My favorites are McClintock and The quiet Man, but I've loved each and every movie I've ever seen of him. I still remember the day he died. I was playing cards with friends when it came over the radio. I cried like I knew him personally.❤

What a beautiful story, about a very legendary actor. I knew he played tough characters, now I know how tough he was in real life. R.I.P.

No matter who you are you just keep on going until the end and hope you can make a smile on different peoples faces.

Wow, what sad way for a REAL MAN TO GO! John P.

One of his first movies was "Randy rides alone". I love that.

I'm Catholic and this touching story reminds me of my maternal grandfather. He was a tall, strong man. He decided to become Catholic like my grandmother. Within a year, he got prostate cancer and died. I'm glad to know he's with grandma and my parents and brothers!

No gray area with John Wayne

He was mine and my dad‘s favorite actor I was 13 years old when he died My favorite one is the sons of Katie Elder but I love everyone of them that he did

He was and Still is a Legend. The way the world is we could do with more like him. Godspeed 🙏 🙏

I Love Big John , i watch him to this day, just watched EL Deoblo & EL Lobo . McClintock was flimed the year i was born in 1963 at the old Tucson studio town just west of Tucson. I've watched alot of his early movies then he was a young man, what a great time to be alive . His movies made with John Ford in Northern AZ , he has a ranch near Greer AZ., Stunning Beautiful area . He made "Hotarri" in Africa after surviving lung cancer just before I was born 1962 great movie. The Cowboys in 1972 , hard to watch every time. The Shootist 1975 . Someday I'll see him again, jumping over a four rail fence , like in True Grit . He's Everything a Cowboy otta be an then some , R.I.P. Big John I'll see you soon. ❤🤠

I count myself fortunate to have seen his movies, witness his on screen bravado, and masculinity! What a man and icon! 💖💖💖 I remember watching him descend those stairs at the academy awards. What a moment in history that is long gone! 😢

John Wayne was the Quite man..

When the Oscar's had class

I still love John Wayne ❤ God rest his beautiful soul.

Love his movies, sad there won't ever be another like him..thank you for years of entertainment

Always and always will be my Favorite actor.. My least favorite movie was The Cowboys first time I saw him die in a movie. I was devastated

Wayne was a special man who entertained millions. God speed!

God bless him , my favorite actor .

My Parents used to haunt the lido ballroom and danced many times with John and his wife. My parents never told me he was balding. Different times then.

Great actor for sure. Don’t smoke.

John Wayne was and still is my HERO ❤ SADLY he only won one award for all his movies and hard work DAMN SHAME .. RIP sir John 🕊❤🕊

The Shootist was one of my favorite movies I've seen it at least 10 times

Amazing and tragic story

A great actor, entertainer, and role model for my generation. A smile comes across my face & a tear fills my eye. Thanks for the memories.

Rest in peace John. Loved all your films. You gave people lots of enjoyment through your god bless you, and your family. From the UK.

Glad to hear he actually got baptized, The Duke truly lives forever now.

he was the kind of person a lot of us wish we could have been, a real american.

Glad he accepted The Lord before he departed. I was lucky to have met and chatted with him several times as a teen. Truly larger than life.

I watched him growing up, American as it got. Haven't thought to much about him over the years since he left us. I thanks to him lived a life full of adventure and kept true to what I thought was American. You know no nonsense just straight shooting. My father died when. I was a kid so maybe in some small way he helped me.

GREATEST COWBOY THERE EVER WAS. People that have lots of money you can't really feel sorry for, they have lived a charmed life. Imagine being poor and dying of cancer with no one around. That's a sad ending that happens all to often. RIP John Wayne and thanks for the ride.

John Wayne a true AMERICAN. R.I.P. Duke.

Great story. Thanks for sharing.

The quiet man is my favorite movie. He was such a lovely man, true and kind.

An amazing man and actor. 🕊️❤️🙏

Saturday pictures we're always cowboy films,and John Wayne was always the best, yes and as kids we loved him,sadly sadly mised. Thanks mate still missing your swager.💔💔💔💔

What a man! I loved John Wayne.

He was/is my all time hero. Love him so much I have many plates, pictures, poster and painting of my hero. Love you John ❤❤❤❤

I love John Wayne. He was and still is real big in my household esp since we live in Az and have horses. I was very young when he passed and upon asking my mother what the cayse was she answered that it was cancer. At the time I was too young to understand what cancer was so my mind replaced the word with cactus, something I was familiar with. For the life of me, I could not figure out how a cactus kills and could only imagine a terrible horseback accident involving a mighty Saguaro.

My grandfather lived with us after my grandmother passed away whenever a John Wayne movie was going to be on the tube he would let us know that that was what we were watching,no exceptions. We would fight over spots on the couch after my parents and him, there were eight of us. I can say we never missed a movie we loved Big John just as much as him. Those were the days,see you upstairs Big Guy ! y

Bless you great man John the best gone but not forgotten still see ya in the movies

If only i hadnt smoked so much!

I have meny John Wayne moves. He is still my favorite actor.

I will always know how long the great John Wayne has been passed. Just 9 days before I was born.

Since my childhood I've been watching films with John Wayne as I always liked him as my "true American Hero"! Some were downright pure propaganda but it was nice that the Hero that always won against the bad guy and had a beautiful woman that he loves. I wish to see more guys like him on the screen 👍🇱🇷🇺🇸

One of Wayne's movies was filmed on a nuclear fallout zone from atomic testing. About 105 people were involved with the movie and when Wayne died nearly 100 people from that movie has also died, most from various cancers.

Only 1 Duke! My dad loved him. Thanks Duke for the memories

John Wayne’s last words, I told you I was ill !

They had him make a western movie in an area where the Fallout from nuclear bomb testing killed him, I know it's crazy but a lot of stuff is the truth

I loved his movies, just to see him in a movie made it worthwhile for me. I loved his characters & many of the same people that showed up in many of his movies. I had many favorites, stagecoach, the man who shot Liberty Valence, Donavon’s reef ( for fun & laughs), many westerns & true grit because I had read about the story first. I admired him very much, I felt he was an a great man but I did not agree at all with his politics. He seemed to be a good family man even though he had three marriage. I miss him.

Wow. Johhnnny

Everybody has to die but heroes like john wayne live on forever!❤

My hero ❤ it says it all

On the final day my wife was alive I told her she was my girl and I'd always loved her. I like to think she heard me, but I've never been sure. She died of breast cancer. John's last words to his partner Pat Stacy were beautiful, and she heard them.

I heard he said , I’m gettin to hell outa here .

GOD BLESS JOHN WAYNE ❤️

😢

I found a big sign that blew some distance down the trail, It said John Wayne Trail, It`s not called that anymore, because they could not find someone to name it after they just call it the "Cascades to Palouse Trail"....still The John Wayne Trail to me....

The quiet Man ❤

Well n the beginning and the end all we have is our Father which is our savior

That guy with 90 years in 72 years if you know what I mean

jon voigt should have won the oscar instead of wayne

Fighting in the Second World War with obvious distinction. Yet again in Vietnam* as a green beret ,he must have had a shed full of bravery awards.Can we see them?

The Sands of Iwo Jima was my favourite Big John movie. I was 5 (1963) and cried my eyes out when he was shot in the back while fighting on Mount Suribachi. However, I loved all the Duke's movies and still do to this day!

We need John Wayne now

"She never stood up for the Star Spangled Banner and she wasn't a John Wayne fan..."

He died 2 days before more Birthday, i wept when i heard the news...and I'll do the same for Clint Eastwood...

FGD on the Topic of John Wayne or aka ( Marion Micheal Morrison). I was Born a Baby of the late Boomer's generation. Both My Parents were Fond John Wayne Fan's. Although My Father was a much more devoted Fan of the Two of them. With My Mom it was a more Mild or fun casual appreciation of the iconic Actor's Screen persona. As for His Politics & Opinions, I never tried, or Asked either of Them about those Type's of thing's, cuz it Was sorta hush hush except in Active Election Year's. After we had returned to the US. After Many Year's living in Canada, where I was a Dual Citizen of both Nation's. Thus My POV'S and Opinions were Very Self consciously held guarded or Not approached at All. That all being Said I'm very Aware that Mr Wayne was known too be quite Outspoken in His latter Year's & His long running Career too Say what He believed & most especially what He Thought about pretty much any & all thing's, He was questioned about near the End. At last this is my Closing Moment too End this Comment up. After His Remarks pertaining too His Battles with Cancer. I personally Believe that they Really and Truely Helped. The many Thousands of future Victims of that Ugly Disease Cope, Settle and Make Thier Final Choice's or Thier Decisions on How too Deal with The Final Outcome's that They were then Facing. I came too these Conclusions, idea's & My final ideals of Facing Death☠️💀 in 1995 When My Own Dear Mother was Given the Very same Choices as Mr Wayne had been Given Twenty years Earlier. For My Dear Mom's sake. She had been raised as a Staunch Catholic, in Her adolescent years. Her Final Call was That if it Was Her Time to Go? Then So Be it? Fine She Said, it Was to Be That Way. Well this is My View of John Wayne? He Was A Great Strong American, Icon, Who through His long Memeorable Life, made it easier & possible for Others too Speak Up or Face Oh So Many Different issues and Thing's in This World 🌎🌍 of Ours. Pardon Me for My Long gasping Windedness Here. But Thanks for Sharing, and also Allowing Comment. MAY God Bless US All, Let US Know We Are Loved. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🤔🤔😎👍👍❤️🤍💙

It should be noted that the late newspaper Mike Royko, hardly a conservative, was a fan of John Wayne as an actor. The reason being that unlike other cowboy movie stars of the time, he was not soppily sentimental.

Very few persons actually earn the epithet "legend". A word thrown around to lightly in most cases. But John Wayne is one of those very few who earned every right to be called Legend.

What a great MAN he was !!

Red River & The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance

The Duke Was The Best.

His given name was NOT Marion Robert Morrison. Duke's BROTHER was Robert.( Bob). Do you really think Duke's mother had two sons named Robert? Duke's name was Marion Michael Morrison. It is why his first born son was named Michael.

Look who she has for a boyfriend . Sound like a good pair

took your time

🍀🌹🥲

this is a guy who refused to go in the army because it would affect his acting career

Ain't cigarettes wonderful?

What has seldom been mentioned about 6'6" John Wayne: HE WAS DEAF FROM A PERFORATED EARDRUM!

Looking forward to history repeating itself when men will be men again because it’s coming ,may not be a year from now may not be 10 may not be 100 but it’s coming

An Hero of her and my Time, i rember they has become an Baby, and helpless he has to embrocate the baby with cart grease. Who can rember it ?

He was a complete Smoe !

He's dead ??? the hell i am, im on cloud 9 if yall take a peek.

We could use John Wayne in Hollyweird now.

Marion Michael Morrison.

So what were his final words??"

They recon he got the cancer ♋️ after working on the film the conqueror in Nevada of the 220 cast and crew 91 of them developed cancer the film was filmed downwind of the atomic bomb test site and when a storm came it blew all the irradiated sand over the film set

When Men were Men..period..

My dad was a great John Wayne fan but I had no desire to watch his movies even though I like old west movies and I could never give a reason for my disinterest, but I found later that he was a complete bigot and not a nice person at all in real life so now I know that my feeling of disinterest was a completely intuition of his true self.

I believe John would have ran for President if he lived longer.

He racist

He was a horrible human being.

so tough he dodged the draft on played tough guys in the movies and he was a vehement racist

Racist P....O...SH.....
