John Wayne's Remade Westerns 

Originals I think are far superior than the remakes. Just my personal opinion.

John Wayne is Rooster Cogburn, jeff bridges isn't fit to lick John Wayne's boots.

As a lover of country music I have enjoyed the remake of Stagecouch with so many of my favorites.

Even more than John himself, the directorial styles of his era were so superior to those of the present that there's no comparison. BTW, RIP to Kris Kristofferson (Stagecoach, 1986)-- Rhodes scholar, poet, songwriter extraordinaire.....

They also remade Red River, again as you say," since no one remembers it, enough said."

I do like both the True Grit films, and my favourite Star in both movies is Rooster Cogburn, he was played by Warren Oates, in a TV film I'm no fan of that one.

Would really have loved to see a remake of the Shootist with Tom Selleck as John Bernard Book.

You forgot the tv movie remake of the alamo which starred Wayne’s friend James Arness as jim bowie and brian keith played davy crockett

There was another another remake of a Wayne movie Red River which was made for tv starring james Arness in the role Wayne played

Lou Diamond Phillips remade “Angel and the Badman”

People are often critical of John Wayne's performance in True Grit as being too jokey but it was essential for the pay off in the meadow gun fight. Up to that point he'd been a somewhat sad old man. When the film was released the classic western heroes were being dismissed in favor of grittier depictions from the likes of Eastwood and the earlier scenes made it seem like even John Wayne had succumbed. Then "Fill your hands.." and the Duke proves that heroes can still be heroic.

True Grit was a toss up. I like both Have you ever done one on Tom Selleck and Sam Elliott Westerns

True Grit with Jeff Bridges was the closest to besting the original but didn’t! The also did a remake of Red River with James Arness but it doesn’t matchup either!

Wllie nelson played the role that’s suppose to be the drunk doctor but didn’t want to play a drunk so the role was rewritten.

I'm a huge JW fan but 2010 True Grit was so awesome.

Big thumbs down on the remakes. It shows how much the producers, writers, directors and actors have run out of talent.

True Grit; the remake had an actual girl, in the original Kim Darby was terrible, Glen Campbell was okay at best. But Bridges is no John Wayne and the showdown is nowhere near as good. The Duke with a pistol and a twirling Winchester is FAR superior to Jeff with 2 pistols. So while the remake was better in some ways With the Duke A, With Jeff B! The Alamo; probably more accurate, but again Billy Bob is no John Wayne! Alamo with the Duke A-, Alamo with Billy Bob C, being generous. Stagecoach: No comparison! The entire Cast, top to bottom was Legends! Stagecoach with the Duke A+, 1960s B-, Country Singers version C, again being generous.
