(Bully13 Thread Hijack) 20 films you'd take to a desert island...

Favorite John Wayne movies are The Cowboys and The Shootist

I?m really impressed with the guys who have The Longest Day on the list - it barely missed my list. True story - my grandfather won a big poker pot the night before D-Day - just like the guy in the movie. He sent the money home. When he got back from the war, his cousin picked him up in a nice used convertible. His cousin had saved the money, invested it a little, and then bought the car for him as a homecoming surprise.

So you like to see John Wayne getting killed?

Lol - no, if it were about him dying I would have listed The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. Another excellent film, but I consider it a Jimmy Stewart movie and not a John Wayne film.

He died of old age in Liberty. Lee Marvin was killed n that one. He (Wayne) was killed also in Sands of Iwo Jima, the Alamo another one I can't remember/ A film of his with Lee Marvin called Donovans Reef is great. Add The big Red One and Bullitt to my list.
