I know, he's one of the screen's biggest legends, and any true connoisseur of cinema would certainly tear me a new orifice for this, but I've never seen a John Wayne film in my life. This is predominantly because I'm not into westerns or war movies, unless the latter concerns Vietnam. I do have Wayne's infamous tract, The Green Berets, but I've never brought myself to watch it. I don't like it when films cram social/political/environmental/religious messages down my throat.
