Here is the list of all John Wayne movies.

John Wayne was an American actor, director, and producer who became a Hollywood legend and cultural icon. Born Marion Robert Morrison on May 26, 1907, in Winterset, Iowa, Wayne began his acting career in the 1920s with small roles in silent films. He gained fame for his work in Westerns, starting with "Stagecoach" in 1939, which marked the beginning of his collaboration with director John Ford.

Wayne became known for his rugged masculinity and tough-guy persona, often playing cowboys, soldiers, and lawmen in films such as "The Searchers" (1956), "Rio Bravo" (1959), and "True Grit" (1969), for which he won an Academy Award for Best Actor.

Wayne was also a director and producer, founding his own production company, Batjac Productions, in 1952. He directed and starred in several films, including "The Alamo" (1960) and "The Green Berets" (1968), which were both critical and commercial successes.

Wayne's career spanned over five decades, and he appeared in more than 170 films. He was known for his work ethic, professionalism, and commitment to his craft. Wayne was also a staunch conservative and a vocal supporter of the military and law enforcement. He was a supporter of the Vietnam War and visited troops in Vietnam several times during the conflict.

Despite his success as an actor, Wayne was not without controversy. His portrayal of Native Americans and other minority groups has been criticized for perpetuating negative stereotypes. He also made controversial statements regarding race and politics throughout his career.

Wayne was diagnosed with stomach cancer in 1964 and underwent surgery, but the cancer returned in 1978 and he died on June 11 of that year at the age of 72.

Despite his flaws, John Wayne's impact on American culture and the entertainment industry cannot be denied. He was a larger-than-life figure who embodied the ideals of the American West and the American Dream. His films continue to be beloved by audiences around the world, and his legacy as an actor and filmmaker remains strong to this day.
