I just watched the movie True Grit (John Wayne and Kim Darby) and the rattlesnake pit scene bugged me so much. The girl had fallen into a pit and there was a snake there. The snake was basically minding it's own business and looked like it was trying to get away but the girl just kept slapping at it so fast it kept flinching away. The entire time I was watching I kept thinking "Just leave it alone! You're just making it mad!" No wonder it bit her. She had it coming in my opinion.

I recently came across the quote “Courage is being scared to death but saddling up anyways” - JW. However after scouring the internet, there are a bunch of sites quoting the line and stating John said it but no where tells of when or where. A couple of sites claim he said it in True Grit, but it’s never said in that movie at all. I’m stumped at how such a quote that seems to be everywhere online has no actual evidence of him saying it. Can anyone help, it’s driving me mad haha! Thanks!

I'm a little puzzed by the ending of Tycoon... John Wayne failed to build the bridge, but the father-in-law was fired.... and the board of directors was... the building company? Someone PLEASE explain the ending...

Found this years ago in a flea market in Atlanta. Snatched it up for $15 for my dad for a Christmas gift one year and wanted to share with y’all. I’ve always thought it was cool to have a pic of the man himself that no one else in the world has. If anyone can identify the movie it came from or narrow it down that’d be awesome.

To end my John Wayne movie night a very underrated Hatari. A movie I loved as a kid and haven't seen since.

Over the Easter holiday I watched my first John Wayne movie and became an instant fan . I can't believe it's taken me 51 years but anyway....I found a lady on Facebook who was selling 97 movies for £15 . Not quite a complete set but should keep me busy for a while .

My wife and I LOVE both Rio Bravo (1959), and El Dorado (1966), but recently she pointed out that both movies essentially are the same plot, revolving around powerful outside forces wanting the sheriff to give up an incarcerated miscreant awaiting the marshal. This shook me a bit. Is she wrong?

I think the title sums it up realy well.

Just went to the John Wayne museum in the stockyards and it was amazing. Highly recommend! It had plenty to see but wasn’t over done/overstimulating. Just the right amount of items tastefully situated. The gift shop products were good quality and had some really great things too. I love a portion of the money made goes to cancer research in the Duke’s name. I recommend staying at the Dover hotel if you go. Stockyard Hotel is neat bc of its history but very loud bc of all the bars and live music and it has no amenities or breakfast.

On the set of ‘the sons of Katie Elder’ with Dean Martin in the background

Everyone knows "The Searchers", "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance", and "Rio Bravo". Fans love the likes of "El Dorado", "The Shootist", "True Grit", "The Sons Of Katie Elder", "Rio Lobo", and "Big Jake", etc. But which of his westerns do you think doesn't get nearly as much love and respect as it deserves? For me, it's "The Cowboys", a Top 10 for big JW for sure!
