''Don't be a bad dagh..."
If you can't relate to the Duke - you can't relate to apple pie & ice cream, Momma and chicken fried steak!
Everyone needs to watch -
Fort Apache -
She Wore a Yellow Ribbon -
Rio Grande -
The Searchers -
4 of the best Westerns EVER -
The Duke was also very good in "bit" parts - like the Centurion in the GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD and as Sherman in HOW THE WEST WAS WON -
As Cartek mentioned - THE QUIET MAN is a very good movie -
Also much under appreciated are THE WAKE OF THE RED WITCH and SEA CHASE -
I think some of his worst work was McQ, THE GREEN BERETS, HELLFIGHTERS and HATARI -
McLintock and Donovan's Reef are good comedies with the under current almost subliminal moral message confronting RACISM -

Dirtydawg and Doc. Please take time to watch "The Shootist". It was his last film and even though it may not be thought of as his best, I think it is. A great story.
The Searchers and In Harms Way.
Western- True Grit
War- Sands of Iwo Jima
Love- The Quiet Man
Other- Donovans Reef, Mclintock, but here is another one I put in this category for just playing well of the other guy and that is War Wagon with Kirk Douglas. Sons of Katie Elder wasn't bad either.
I'm really feeling the Rio Grande and The Quiet Man love. His best stuff, IMO.
DD and Doc, you will die unfulfilled men. You need to sit down, drink some beer, and watch some John Wayne. It's the great American experience.
And, though it's not related to The Duke, throw some Zulu in there as well. Everyone should see that one too.
Under appreciated Blood Alley
Zulu...Michael Caine's first movie and Stanley Baker's best effort.
I'm an asshole! What's your excuse?
