Ranking inspirational John Wayne movie quotes.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Known as "The Duke" in the Golden Age of Hollywood, John Wayne starred in Western and war movies and television shows, delivering iconic quotes that have inspired generations. He performed from 1926 until his last role in 1976 as an aging gunfighter fighting cancer in The Shootist.
19 "Courage Is Being Scared To Death But Saddling Up Anyway." Remade in 2010 by the Coen Brothers starring Hailee Steinfield and Jeff Bridges, the original 1969 True Grit stars Wayne as a U.S. Marshal hired by a teen girl to hunt down her father's killer. This quote from John Wayne extends beyond the film to encompass daily life for a lot of people and has become a line that many hold onto.
16 "Sorry, Don't Get It Done, Dude." After Dude , taunted as "town drunk," hits John T. Chance for the second time, Wayne tells him firmly, "Sorry, don't get it done, Dude." While he might've been giving a stone warning that Dude never hit him again, this line has stuck with some viewers as a better way of showing others remorse. Words and "sorry" don't get it done, but actions do. Ensuring it never happens again will get it done.
12 "Don't Try To Win This War All By Yourself." A black-and-white drama released during WWII, Flying Tigers follows Jim Gordon , captain of an American pilot squadron. While critics weren't impressed by "a threadbare script," jaw-dropping sequences of airborne dogfights kept viewers excited . But a few gems can be found in the mix.
9 "You're The Guy We're Fighting This War For." A film released in the final year of WWII, Back to Bataan hits hard. In this scene, Colonel Joseph Madden meets a young boy and tells him, with this iconic line, why the American army is fighting on behalf of the Philippines. A mix of fictionalized and true events, this film is a wrenching portrayal of war.
5 "Get Down Off Them Horses. I Don't Favor Looking Up To The Likes Of You." A film about one of the world's greatest cattle herds, John Wayne, as Thomas Dunson greets deserters of the cattle drive with this none-too-warm welcome. Not only is this an iconic display of Wayne's characteristic self-confidence and commitment to law and order, but this is a line to boost a person's own confidence in what they're owed and what they owe others.
