best john wayne movie

OK, here's one of my all-time favorite bits of trivia.

I happen to be a Buddy Holly fan, as well as a John Wayne fan. In one of Holly's biographies, it was reported that Buddy was a huge John Wayne fan. After Buddy and some of his friends went to see The Searchers, they spent the rest of the day mimicking Ethan Edwards' famous line in the film, "That'll be the day."

Buddy decided to write a song with that John Wayne line as the title and the rest is history.

That's a great story Chief.

I'm a little young to have proper respect for The Duke, and westerns are not something I am naturally pulled to.....

....but I love True Grit and The Cowboys. Those two are greatness. The Drunk Duke in True Grit is greatness, and the Cook is terrific in the Cowboys (not to mention Bruce Dern, who is REALLY scary....)

I am also a fan of the Hellfighters.

I'm not a big John Wayne fan but I do know that Buddy Holly story.
You can't pass through Lubbock and not know Buddy Holly lore.

Quite a good song, btw.
