Difficult to pin down my 10 favourite Duke films, but I'll give it a go. 1 The Alamo 2 The Searchers 3 Rio Grande 4 The man who shot Liberty Valance 5 The Comancheros 6 She wore a yellow ribbon 7 The quiet man 8 Sands of Iwo Jima 9 Red River 10 The Shootist Lot's more I could have selected but these are the ones that immediately spring to mind. Wow, a tough list to beat. Still, 'top ten' seems to limit one's choices. I'll add ten more to your list and make it the TOP TWENTY: Rio Bravo The Shootist True Grit McLintock Three Godfathers Hellfighters Green Berets Brannigan McQ Donovan's Reef

I'm surprised that no one offered "The Shepherd in the Hills" and "The Angel and the Bad Man." In both Harry Carey stars as a father figure to Wayne. In "The Searchers," Wayne pays tribute to Carey by holding his arm as Carey did when he was a cowboy star in the silent film era. In addition to Carey's performance, "The Shepherd in the Hills" is quite a movie. It shows on either AMC or TCM on occasion and is worth watching.

Hope somebody did.
Meanwhile, for those unable to attend either the Duke's Birthday Bash in Iowa, or the filmfest in Llano, there were/are quite a few of Duke's films being shown this week. I was able to catch THE SEARCHERS and Fort APACHE on TCM.
