The Conqueror
Jet Pilot
Pittsburgh
Reunion in France
A Lady for a Night.

These are the five Duke Movies that would inspire me to leave wherever it is I am, and go to a place that lets me have more than five movies!!!:evilgrin:

Sorry!

Seriously, my five would be...
"Rio Bravo" (or El Dorado, either one will do)
"True Grit"
"Stagecoach"
"The Searchers"
"The Comancheros"

The Alamo - widescreen director's cut only
The Searchers
She Wore a Yellow Ribbon
El Dorado
Rio Bravo

Duke gave his finest performances as Ethan Edwards and Nation Brittles.
Rio Bravo and El Dorado are two variations of a fun theme with co-actors who manage to hold their own against Wayne's formidable on screen presence.
The Alamo is magnificent to see large and the fulfillment of all Duke's dreams.
I could watch these any time, any place.


We deal in lead, friend.

Bringing this back, since I havent' seen this thread, so here is mine if I'm only to have 5 John Wayne videos only in my collection.

1. The Quiet Man
2. Rio Bravo
3. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
4. The Searchers
5. Sands of Iwo Jima

Had to get one war picture of his, as well as his greatest and my favorite Duke film, then just able to pick three westerns, that is almost impossible, but the three IMO are his best westerns.

Cheers :cool: Hondo

You got that right - I can think of at least 25 or 30 of Duke's movies I'd want to have on a deserted island.
