Mount Rushmore: John Wayne movies

3ric · 02-06-2005, 03:11 PM

I was thinking about getting some John Wayne movies on DVD, and most recommendations start with these three:

Rio Bravo
Red River
The Searchers

and to complete the quartet, I'd probably add:

She Wore a Yellow Ribbon

but I was curious if there are other films that might be worthy of inclusion? Which four John Wayne movies would you pick?

Others worth considering, strictly based on my enjoyment of them at various times, not neccessarily as true "Rushmore" candidates on the basis of their cinematic brilliance

The Cowboys
McClintock !
El Dorado

The Quiet Man
The Shootist
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance

And because I need four and haven't seen some of his other supposed better films...
