The Shootist - John Wayne at his best in this along with James Stewart, Lauren Bacall, a young Richie Cunningham and others in a superbly written western script! Wayne made this film while he had cancer and died three years later. A must watch!

McLintock! - Classic John Wayne. A must if you are a John Wayne fan or you want to watch a solid old school western!

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance - A real jewel with both James Stewart and John Wayne shining and others in this. Strong start with a slowdown about half way through when Hollywood missed the memo to shorten this by thirty minutes. A must watch especially for gunslingers and sh**kickers!

There's a better way to own these films

"I don't know why Paramount released this collection of nine great John Wayne westerns on the same day that they released these same films plus five others for twenty-seven extra dollars in The John Wayne Century Collection (Big Jake, Donovan's Reef, El Dorado, Hatari!, Hondo, In Harm's Way, Island in the Sky, McLintock!, Rio Lobo, The High and the Mighty, etc.).



The five additional films in the Century Collection are Donovan's Reef, In Harm's Way, Hatari, The High and the Mighty (2 disc edition), and Island in the Sky. Basically, this western set is just a subset of the century collection. I would normally give this set four stars - five for content and three for value, but after all this is John Wayne! His outstanding films in any subset in which they are grouped together shouldn't suffer from a bad rating just because Paramount's home video department is clueless."

Great stuff!

"El Dorado, Rio Lobo, same movie, different supporting cast. Still entertaining. The entire package as group is awewsome. Some of the Duke's best stuff. This pack includes Director's cuts and documentaries for a couple of the movies more great stuff. It was great to see Maureen O'Hara talking about the old days with the Duke and about her doing most of her own stunts. It was great to see Michael Wayne inside the film vault and some of his Dad's personal momentoes from his movies, like his aging old hat and chaps. More and More great stuff, you'll enjoy yourself for days trying to see it all and treasure it for years."

"This boxed set contains 9 westerns that make a great backbone for any John Wayne Collection. This was a GREAT birthday gift for my husband, an avid John Wayne fan. Slimline DVD cases, cover art is ok, DVD quality is great. I looked at several different John Wayne western collections before I made my purchase and this one had the best value for the $$ as well as a good variety of drama/comedy/action."
