Man, I'm really sorry, but john wayne HAS to be one of the sh*ttiest actors to ever walk the face of the earth!!! I like him as a pop culture icon or what ever, but seriously, he sucks!!! He played the same character for 50 years and he still couldn't get it right! The best was in Sands of Iwo Jima - "look - out...gre-nade". Oh man, I watch his movies all the time, and REALLY kind of like them, but I could NEVER take him seriously
Why was he number one? Cause the american public seems to love sh*tty actors and sh*tty movies. What's big now? Queen Latifa? Keaneou (how ever you spell it) Reeves? (He sucks even more). The new star wars movies? The Matrix? (I'm seriously asking, I don't even have cable) Yech!! Independence Day did really well when it came out, and that had to have been the worst movie ever made!!!! (This coming from a fan of Plan 9 from Outer Space)!!!
So he tried to enlist in WWII? Wow. Over 16 million other americans DID enlist in WWII.
I kind of understand, but really, I grew up on smurf cartoons, and that doesn't mean I still take them seriously. John Wayne was a terrible actor. The LAST thing we need now adays is another fake. I'm not trying to rag anyone's "hero", but you've gotta be kidding? We know all these vets and an actor is a hero? I don't believe it.
Well, Jerry Lewis was #1 in France for 30 years, so I guess looking at that I really do like John Wayne.
