@mikemovies John Wayne gets a lot of hate. Some of the things people don’t like, I don’t like either. But he was perfect for the types of flawed yet strong heroes he played. I’m a fan. With that said, Eastwood matches him in acting and is also one of the greats when it comes to directing.
@mikemovies My my - that was a tough choice! Loved John Wayne, especially his later stuff (The Cowboys was Oscar-worthy IMO), but Eastwood has the benefit of more modern sensibilities better writing in most cases.
@mikemovies Maybe it's an age thing. Or the fact that Clint made less than a dozen westerns. But of these two, for me, it's always gonna be John Wayne.
@mikemovies Love John Wayne in The Searchers, but Clint has a much more interesting and complex filmography with The Dollars Trilogy, The Outlaw Josey Wales, High Plains Drifter to name a few
@mikemovies Luv both. These are the Cowboy heroes my generation grew up with.
@mikemovies I say Tie - and I’m related to Marion Morrison! That’s how highly I think of Eastwood.
