Objective Burma!

Only "badass" as the writers make them.

A movie about a mormon leader that's called "Bring 'em young" - I mean "Bingham Young", you see the dark irony here, right?

Ben Cooper. None of the commonly mentioned actors could beat him.

A nice video thank you, I remember all of those movies

"Cowboy" with Glenn Ford and "Shane" with Alan Ladd have both been considered "authentic" representations of life in the Old West.

...and the name is pronounced "John AY-gar."

IMO the best of these is The Night of the Hunter. Brief Encounter is a beautiful film too, much better than his Kwai and Lawrence. And The Third Man is WAY overrated. If only Welles had directed it.

John Wayne made great movies that were uplifting and told good stories. But he was anything but "a stickler for reality". It is very common to see Trapdoor Springfields in time periods when only muzzle loaders were used. Also his use of Colt Single Action Army pistol and lever action Winchesters in the 1860s when both were a decade or more from being produced. You can see example of both these errors in "The Undefeated". That doesn't make his movies bad. He was telling a story and they were just set pieces. Take in the story and don't worry about the minutia.

How about hybrid movies next. Pleasantville Sin city and sequel?

To those of us who study's old west the term Mountain Man refers to the fur trappers of the Rocky Mountain west. Many of the movies on your list have nothing to do with the subject.

First one that's wrong. "The Big Trail". Wayne is not carrying an English made rifled musket firing a .577 minie ball, although you do show the correct minie balls. It appears he is carrying a U.S. manufactured 1863 rifled musket. A dead giveaway is the springs in the stock retaining the barrel bands. The British muskets did not use them. The ,minie balls shown were correct for the U.S. piece though. Those for then British used no grease grooves.

LEO GORDON- VASTLY UNDERRATED ACTOR!!!!!!!

My top 5 Westerns of all time, in no particular order: Shane, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, Tombstone, The Magnificent Seven, and The Outlaw Josey Wales.

John Wayne never could act always wooden

I guess there's some disagreement as to what constitutes a mountain man movie in the comments. Here's one working definition I found: "The mountain man genre is a popular choice for viewers who are looking for stories of survival, adventure, and rugged wilderness. These movies often feature characters who live off the land, hunt for their own food, and navigate through treacherous terrain." Not sure all these qualify as per the above (some just involve characters who happen to be in the mountains), but here are some additional candidates: 1. The Grey 2. Deliverance 3. The Mountain Between Us 4. The Edge 5. White Fang 6. The Call of the Wild 7. The Great Alone 8. Grizzly Man

Why do you never point out that so many scenes in Pale Rider are directly lifted from Shane? They are both great movies, from different times, but if you binge watch both, you can't miss the commonalities .😁

Good list! I would add 1949’s D.O.A. with Edmond O’Brien.

Technically, the "Mountain Man" Era on the American Western Frontier ran roughly from about 1806 to 1840. The North American French Fur Trade era, circa 1540-1803, roughly could also be considered a "Mountain Man" era, as could the British fur trade era circa 1760's to late 1800's. The major difference between fur traders from France and Britain and the American Fur Trappers, is that the French and British mainly traded with the Native Tribes, mainly in trading posts along rivers, while the American Fur Trappers, ventured into Native Tribe Territories, actually trapping, which minimized trade with the Native Tribes. The American Fur Trapper methods created much hostility among the Native Tribes, and there were many bloody battles and skirmishes fought as a result. On the negative side, the American Fur Trapper methods effectively began the destruction and subjugation of the Native Tribes. On the positive side, the American Fur Trapper methods blazed the main trails and explored undiscovered lands, leading to the Oregon-California Trail wagon train era, that began just before the end of the Fur Trapper era. Post-Mexican War (1846-1848), the American Interior between California and the Mississippi River, would likely have remained unsettled and sparsely populated well into the 20th Century, had the California Gold Rush not occurred. By the late 1850's. the rich gold strike in California motivated gold / silver prospectors to began roaming into the great empty American interior, East of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, to look for "color". They found "color" and the resulting gold rushes and silver strikes created the new Territories of Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Colorado, Arizona, and Dakota Territory. The gold rushes and silver strikes created interconnecting new trails to the main trails originally established by the Fur Trappers, and the newly built mining camps and towns soon had freight and stage lines to supply them. By the 1860's, construction of the Transcontinental Railroad, blazed a more modern new trail across the American interior, greatly aiding settlement of the post-Civil War Western Frontier. Of course, railroad building across Native Tribe territory, and further intrusions into Native lands caused by gold and silver strikes, brought hostilities between the Native Tribes and Settlers to a boiling over point, so that the last quarter of the 19th Century was one of constant warfare between the Native Tribes and U.S. Army forces protecting settlers, prospectors and railroad construction workers, that did not really cease until the 1890's.

The Revenant and Jeremiah Johnson were the only "mountain men" movies in this list, and Man in the Wilderness was missing.

Many weren't Mountain Man" movies.

Shane is without question the best one on your list. Overlooks. Well known Yellowstone Kelly. Probably Clint Walker’s best film. Rarities: Two from Gary Cooper: Wolf Song and Fighting Caravans. Wolf Song is one of Cooper’s least seen westerns ( although actually available on KZbin).

Terrance Hill beats all of those johnny come latelies.

The Duke never carried a pistol in Stagecoach .

Bruce Dern, James Best and Lee Van Cleef were my all time favorite bad guys.

There are too many other films made about the war during the war to add, but there are quite a few shown here that I have not seen. Thanks for this list.

How about "Paper Moon", "Judgement At Nuremberg", "Schlinder's List"?

japan and germany started this...really bad move...

You could have left out The Last Picture Show. Still feel this film has no redeeming plot, Ben Johnson performance was probably the best part of the movie. Still would love to have seen Young Mister Lincoln on this list, a John Ford directed and Henry Fonda movie that is always overlooked now a days. So glad you included 12 Angery Men, some consider one of the best movies ever made along with Casablanca and Maltese Falcon. And what about It's A Wonderful Life. How about some classic black And white movies that don't have a bleak ending.

There are so many great B&W movies of the classic era, you could spend a year recounting them and never run dry. Of the recent B&W movies, here are a few of my favorites: 1. Schindler's List 2. Young Frankenstein 3. Sin City 4. Ed Wood 5. Clerks 6. Good Night, and Good Luck

Please colt nineteen one one. AI needs to go, just hire a voice over actor.

That is a pretty good list that I can get behind. From the modern era, I would add the 2005 Good Night And Good Luck written, directed and featuring George Clooney in a supporting role and an amazing cast of great actors.

This is the best movie channel. I have so many movies to catch up on.

All excellent

Mae west, myrna loy 2 hotties

Everything you've shown with great movies during the war a percentage of the actors in this movie did serve in the military

Harry Carey did not work with Andrew V. Mclaglen as a director

The scene with john wayne & bruce dern was cut short because dern's character shoots wayne in the back.

I believe, but not sure, that "Bataan" was the first WWII movie that depicted Black & White US soldiers in the same unit fighting together.

In truth, if Westerns were accurate, they'd be pretty boring. Not all that many saloons or gunfights in the real Old West. But as the man said, "This is the west, sir. When the legend becomes fact, print the legend."

Do any of you know why they are called spaghetti westerns? Well do ya punk ?

The premise of the movie "Man Hunt" (the Allied assassination of Hitler) may have been good emotional fodder, but the reality was the Allied High Command forbade Hitler's assassination. This was because they believed the Allies had a better chance to win WWII with Hitler alive, as he was countermanding the sensible advice of his own high command. This is one reason the German high command tried to assassinate Hitler themselves.

Remember folks, Wrangler said the "most recent 25" inductees. Some of your favorites may already be in there. Here's the complete list: www.loc.gov/programs/national-film-preservation-board/film-registry/complete-national-film-registry-listing/
