Since 1994, when Harris first began polling a large sample (2,311 this year) of Americans with the simple question "Who is your favorite movie star?", only one actor has made the top ten every year and only one actor has made it posthumously: John Wayne.

Are we looking at American actors, or international as well?

I must admit that I hate McClintock. I did not like the way in which Maureen O’Hara was treated towards the end of the film, which included stripping the lady of her dress, and spanking her.

I must tell you that I do feel a bit nostalgic and sentimental whenever I watch that scene. It brings a tear to my eye.

“Fill yours hands!, you sons......!”

Gets me fired up every time.

Wayne considered “Red River” as his best film. He also used the Red River D brand as his own brand and also had that brand on his belt buckle which he was usually filmed wearing.

I personally think “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance” was his best. Also liked “The Quiet Man”.

Mclintock is such a classic. The mud fight with he and Maureen still makes me laugh out loud

John Wayne didn’t come to own his own category of actor greatness by simply being himself, even the liberal Hollywood world is starting to recognize his acting.
