Never say a Duke movie I didn't like, but I think my favorite was "In Harms Way".

"The Duke" summed up in two min. One of my favorite scenes ever.

So we're El Dorado and Rio Bravo the same plot. With Dean Martin playing the Drunken Sheriff both times.
Or is it just me.
Not a complaint or diss because they are both good cowboy westerns.

Our son Ethan is named after Wayne's character in The Searchers. One of the best westerns ever filmed.stevej wrote:I always thought "The Searchers" was John Waynes best movie but he also had a lot of other good ones too.
