What Is His Best Western Film of All Time? – My Blog

There’s no question that legendary actor John Wayne is one of the most well-known names in Hollywood history. His acting career spanned decades as he starred in over 150 movies.

Wayne found success in just about every genre. However, he is perhaps most associated for his work in Westerns, playing a part in some of the most memorable Western movies ever made.

The 1940s and ’50s saw Wayne develop into an important figure and an American icon thanks to his starring roles in major Westerns. He also starred in several war movies about the American Civil War or World War II.

The legacy of John Wayne, also known as “The Duke,” continues still today, even 40 years after his death in 1979. His fans still love his movies and consider him as the best Western movie star of all time. As a result, today we are taking a look at what is his highest-rated Western film of all time, according to IMDb.
John Wayne in ‘The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance’

While all of the movies featuring John Wayne were brilliant, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance takes the cake as the highest-rated. The 1962 film received an 8.1 score from IMDb. In addition, it has a 94 percent Tomatometer score and a 92 percent audience score from Rotten Tomatoes, calling it “one of the finest Westerns ever filmed.”
The classic movie was directed by John Ford. It, of course, features John Wayne in a starring role as Tom Doniphon and James Stewart as Senator Ransom “Ranse” Stoddard. The screenplay was an adaptation of a 1953 short story written by Dorothy M. Johnson.

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance has gang members, violence, and of course, John Wayne. The film begins with Senator Stoddard arriving in town to attend Doniphon’s funeral. When he’s asked why he’s attending the funeral, the movie flashes back to 25 years in the past. The facts about the legendary events that bind the two men become clearer through flashbacks.
While Stoddard is visiting the town, he runs into a criminal gang led by Liberty Valance (Lee Marvin). Doniphon came to the rescue and saved Ransom’s life. He repeatedly helps Stoddard and the two become a competitive force against Liberty Valance.
Other John Wayne Classics

While The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance is IMDb’s highest-rated John Wayne Western, there are many others that are right up there with it.
Two of his top-five movies came in 1956 and 1959 with The Searchers and Rio Bravo, respectively. Both of those films were right behind the number-one spot with scores of 7.9 and 8.1 from IMDb.

And right behind them is another John Wayne Western earning a 7.8 rating. The 1939 film Stagecoach was an Oscar-winning adventure. Not only did it help take the Western genre to new heights, but it also helped John Wayne finally reach stardom.

Sydney Sweeney hits back at horrific body shaming comments on viral pictures with incredible response

Sydney Sweeney has posted an Instagram video which included body shaming comments

Sydney Sweeney has hit back at horrific body shaming comments she’s received online with an incredible response.

For famous faces, social media can be an extremely toxic place, and it’s why we’ve seen some celebrities reduce their online presence as a result.

Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney has become the subject of body shaming comments in recent times, and she responded to these on Instagram in the best possible way.

The actor posted a shot clip that began with screenshots of a bunch of body shaming comments she’s received online, including some calling her ‘quite frumpy’, ‘very chunky’ and ‘tubby’.

Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell discuss chemistry
After many screenshots of horrible comments were shown on screen, the video cut to Sweeney in her training gear at the gym.

The video cut to a sign that said ‘hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard’ as Sweeney worked hard with a trainer, struck a punching bag and even flipped a large tire in what looked like an extremely intense workout.

Many have flocked to the comments section of the Instagram video to praise Sweeney for her response to the trolls.

“I will never understand the hate in people‘s hearts when it comes to leaving comments like this,” one person commented.

A second added: “Ngl why do people feel entitled to talk about someone’s body specially someone you don’t personally know,” while a third remarked: “No one has the right or reason to make comments on anyones body, ever.”

Meanwhile, Lili Reinhart penned: “It’s always wild to see people publicly out themselves as pieces of shit with comments like that. You look incredible and your dedication to your project is very inspiring.”

The video actually concluded with the name ‘Christy Martin’ being shown on the screen, which is a nod to Sweeney’s upcoming biopic where she plays a famed female boxer.

Boxing fans will likely know Martin is a is a former professional boxer who earned herself the WBC female super welterweight title in 2009.

Sweeney has spoken previously about her process of getting into her movie character, telling The Los Angeles Times in March that she’s a ‘very hands-on collaborator’.

“I like being able to give ideas, be a part of it, help come up with solutions. It just changes the whole process,” she said.

Sweeney continued: “It’s so hard for me now to be on a set and not be able to help in any type of way and be able to take action. And being able to actually have a voice and have a valued opinion—it means so much.”

‘Australia’s most sexually active woman’ reveals outrageous bedroom goal for 2025

A woman who has been dubbed the “most sexually active woman” in Australia has set her sights on a big goal for 2025.

You’ve probably heard of Bonnie Blue and Lily Phillips attempting to break outrageous records in the bedroom – and Annie Knight has now thrown her hat into the ring too.

“When I watched that clip of Lily crying and everyone was saying, ‘Oh my god, this poor girl,’ I just thought, well, she’s been getting railed all day by 100 different guys… imagine putting your body through that,” Knight told Metro.

“Yes, it’s emotionally taxing, but isn’t that like any job?” she added. “Everyone has moments where they’re like, ‘I don’t know if I can do this anymore.’ You do get really stressed. She’d be exhausted; her body would be exhausted. When you’re tired, your emotions are high.”

Knight also noted that some of the men involved in Phillips’ session were reportedly rude to her, emphasizing that dealing with negativity can be challenging in any profession.
