Remembering John Wayne
Roger Ebert June 12, 1979

"God, what a man he was, the first time I met him, striding out of the hot Georgia sun, 6 feet 4, weighed down with battle gear, a pistol on his hip, a leathered face under the steel helmet. He stuck out a hand and there was this big, friendly smile on his face, and he said, "John Wayne."

"The Duke. Just the invocation of that nickname creates an image in an audience's mind of a certain masculine ideal created by John Wayne. Be it in Westerns or in war films, Wayne was America's favorite strong, laconic screen hero for nearly four decades. Yet his persona in popular culture doesn't begin to encompass the range of his acting abilities."

"Although he appeared in over 160 films, Wayne only earned two Oscar nominations for Best Actor: the first for "Sands of Iwo Jima" (1949), and the second for "True Grit" (1969), which he won. He also competed in the Best Picture race for his passion project, "The Alamo" (1960), which he also directed."

"With so many films to choose from, it can be hard to narrow down the Duke's filmography to a best-of list, but let's try. Here's a look back at John Wayne's 25 best movies, ranked from least to finest."
