Ten Movies on an Island: Westerns


You already know most of these are going to be John Wayne films. Basically all but three and there's two more in the honorable mentions. What can I say?
1. Stagecoach (1939) - John Wayne & Claire Trevor, Thomas Mitchell, Andy Devine
2. Angel and the Badman (1947) - John Wayne & Gail Russell
3. She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (1949) - John Wayne
4. Rio Grande (1950) - John Wayne & Maureen O'Hara
5. Broken Lance (1954) - Robert Wagner, Spencer Tracy
6. The Searchers (1956) - John Wayne
7. Rio Bravo (1959) - John Wayne, Dean Martin, Ricky Nelson
8. Alias Jesse James (1959) - Bob Hope
9. Cat Ballou (1965) - Jane Fonda, Lee Marvin, Michael Callan, Dwayne Hickman
10. The Shootist (1976) - John Wayne & Lauren Bacall, James Stewart, Ron Howard
Honorable Mentions: The Comancheros (1961), El Dorado (1966), Duel at Diablo (1966)

In case you were wondering, my favorite Westerns on the small screen are Maverick, Have Gun Will Travel, and most episodes of Bonanza (though if IS exasperating how none of the boys EVER get married).

Tomorrow, my top ten Disney films!
