    Hatari, the movie [and a question to all you John Wayne fans]

    My folks were never John Wayne fans and I am young enough to have not seen the Duke in a Movie Theater. Last night "Hatari" was on TV, I was just going to catch the first hour and then hit the hay. Well, even though I was tired, I got caught up in the movie and watched the whole show.
    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0056059/

    What a great movie! I am hooked, I want to seen more of the Duke.

    During the movie, the announcer mentioned it was filmed in Tanzania and very few stunt doubles used. If they were filming with wild animals...Wholly krap ! I don't think they'd allow a film be made like that today.

    I'm pretty sure I am in the minority here, that is not being a long time John Wayne fan. I think I may have seen another John Wayne movie, but I don't recall it? it must not have been memorable.
    ANYWAY, all you John Wayne fans, what are some of your favorites ?
    What should I look for next ?

    Go to Youtube, and search "John Wayne Full Movie". You will find some good, and obscure stuff!
    I thought Hatari was one of his poorest. You want the real westerns, and "The Quiet Man".
    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!

    The only real stinker he did in my mind was "the Conqueror" just wasn't a believable Genghis Khan. In Harms way was good cast a giant shadow another Eldorado there are so so many!

    It's hard to find a college film class which doesn't spend lots of time on "Stagecoach." There's a reason for that.

    OK, let see.....

    The Cowboys (superb)

    True Grit (Maybe the best)

    El Dorado (good...worth watching)

    Rio Bravo (good...worth watching)

    The Son's of Katie Elder (good...worth watching)

    The Quiet Man (don't care for it, but others love it)

    Donovan's Reef (a rollicking good time)

    The Shootist (Great movie to end a great career)


    These will get you started on a great movie marathon.

    One of the good things about John Wayne was his ability to attract other top flight actors to appear in his movies.

    -edit
    Just read some of the above posts.
    Dang, how it the world did I forget "McClintock"

    Start with the Quiet Man (Irish theme), then McClintock (Call it more of a Comedy), then El Dorado or Big Jake (One of my families favorite).

    Going against the grain here but I loved Hatari. Mancinis' music was just magnificent, and the fine blend of comedy and adventure made it very enjoyable.

    Some of his very early movies, I didn't care for, but I liked pretty much everything I have seen, western or not. I guess I haven't seen Hatari or the conquerer.
    The earliest favorite I personally remember seeing was the war wagon, there are quite a few favorites though.
