There are some missing. Either I haven't seen them or I just didn't have enough space, LOL. My List is mainly based on the reactions of the characters together, (hence Duke and Ward, Duke and Maureen, etc. plus the cinematography, and strangely enough the score and songs throughout. If I find myself singing or humming a song from a movie, it goes up the list.

OK Hondo, I should be finished! Probably the STRANGEST list out there; but it is mine, and I will defend it to death, LOL!

Hi Hondo, did this before I thought about it, sorry. I just edited my list where it was below. Let me know if that is OK.....if not, I will repost it.
Thanks, KPKEITH

[Hondo Duke Lane]

This is great KPKEITH.

Just a reminder that I will be closing this thread in a couple of days. You still have time to post your top 25 poll of John Wayne movies. I look forward to ranking this year's poll to see what your favorite John Wayne movie is out there. I also am very happy to see so many new people participate in this. Not to say I enjoy our older members out there too. Get your votes out. I close this on Tuesday night.

Cheers Hondo Duke Lane
