Who is the best iconic Western actor: John Wayne or Clint Eastwood?

9:13PM Mon, July 25 2011

@AlecCizak Earth

The Duke

9:34PM Mon, July 25 2011

@Western_Online I agree with Alec. Say western and most folks think The Duke.

9:36PM Mon, July 25 2011

@Western_Online

@AlecCizak The Duke is great, but who can forget the Man With No Name?

10:05PM Mon, July 25 2011

@CashLaramie @AlecCizak How can you remember him if he has no name? #western #ClintEastwood

10:11PM Mon, July 25 2011

My vote for best "iconic" western actor goes to Jack Elam.

10:18PM Mon, July 25 2011

@Western_Online @AlecCizak I will say I prefer Clint to The Duke. Cash Laramie is closer in spirit to The Man With No Name.

10:18PM Mon, July 25 2011

@Western_Online

Jack Elam was a great one as well.

10:22PM Mon, July 25 2011

@Chuck_Tyrell I gotta say Tom Selleck has impressed the hell out of me over the past twenty years or so.

10:23PM Mon, July 25 2011

@Western_Online

@Chuck_Tyrell That's a fact. Selleck was great in Louis L'Amour's Crossfire Trail that was TV a few years back.

10:25PM Mon, July 25 2011

@Western_Online Tom's redo of Monty Walsh is like the Coen's redo of True Grit -- better. #TomSelleck #TrueGrit #Western

10:25PM Mon, July 25 2011

@Chuck_Tyrell I bought his western collection that includes that, Monte Walsh, and a third title. Extraordinary, all three.

10:26PM Mon, July 25 2011

@CashLaramie Selleck is a good Orrin Sackett, too. #LouisL'Amour #TVWestern

10:27PM Mon, July 25 2011

WAYNE made five all-time classic westerns: SEARCHERS, LIBERTY VALANCE, STAGECOACH, RED RIVER, RIO BRAVO while...

10:28PM Mon, July 25 2011

@Western_Online And THE SHADOW RIDERS with Sam Elliott.

10:28PM Mon, July 25 2011

...EASTWOOD made four: FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE, GOOD BAD UGLY, JOSEY WALES, UNFORGIVEN. DUKE wins far as I'm concerned.

10:30PM Mon, July 25 2011

@Western_Online

@Chuck_Tyrell QUIGLEY DOWN UNDER was good as well.

10:30PM Mon, July 25 2011

Also, Wayne appeared in a lot more westerns in general, some insanely good if not great. Eastwood directed some too, though.

10:31PM Mon, July 25 2011

@Chuck_Tyrell Arguably the best.

10:32PM Mon, July 25 2011

@Western_Online

I think they are both great. THE SEARCHERS and JOSEY WALES are my top two favorite Westerns.

10:33PM Mon, July 25 2011

Indeed. Different personas for different eras of moviemaking, society in general. Would never trade one for the other.

10:34PM Mon, July 25 2011

@Western_Online @Chuck_Tyrell Clint did The Beguiled. Not really a #western but a gothic little number that was pretty good.

10:45PM Mon, July 25 2011

@Western_Online @Chuck_Tyrell Bequiled's finally getting it's due in some horror mags. Underrated, very off-beat Siegel flick

10:53PM Mon, July 25 2011

@Western_Online @Chuck_Tyrell A real sleeper of a film and one of Geraldine Page's finest moments.

10:59PM Mon, July 25 2011

@Western_Online

@nerdofnoir @Chuck_Tyrell Don't forget EL DORADO by The Duke. Robert Mitchum was another great one.

11:25PM Mon, July 25 2011

@CashLaramie @nerdofnoir You know, one of the best western films of all time: Ride the High Country. Scott & McCrae.
