This guy's western career is amazing.

Fort Apache

Red River
The Searchers
Rio Bravo

Just these ten alone are regarded by many as all-time classics

I like most of them but my personal favourites are
The Searchers
The Comancheros
El Dorado (I'm in the minority that prefers this to Rio bravo)

My favourite Wayne film isn't a Western, though. It's 'The Quiet Man'.

I've always hated Green Berets. Stupid, reactionary bullshit and by then Wayne was far too fat and old to play an infantry soldier.
Westerns are a different matter. The Man Who Shot Liberty Vallance is a great film. I've always found it funny that Wayne is portrayed as the masculine tough guy juxtaposed with Stewart's weak, liberal milquetoast whereas in real life, it was Stewart who was a WWII bomber pilot whilst Wayne was safely at home in the US making propaganda films about just how great war was.
