5 Great Westerns. 1 Hollywood Legend. "Fort Apache" (1948): The soldiers at Fort Apache may disagree with the tactics of their glory seeking new commander, but they're duty-bound to obey - even when it means almost certain disaster. John Wayne, Henry Fonda and many familiar supporting players from master director John Ford's "stock company" saddle up in this moving, thought-provoking film that explores the darker side of the West. "The Searchers" (1956): Working together for the 12th time, John Wayne and director John Ford forged "The Searchers" into a landmark Western offering an indelible image of the frontier and the men and women who challenged it. Costarring Jeffrey Hunter, Vera Miles, Ward Bond and Natalie Wood. "Rio Bravo" (1959): Director Howard Hawks captures the legendary West with a stellar cast in peak form. John Wayne, Dean Martin, Walter Brennan and Ricky Nelson costar as a disheveled, ragtag team of lawmen determined to stop an army of gunmen dead set on springing a murderous cohort from jail. Also co-starring Angie Dickinson. "The Train Robbers" (1973): Three Civil War veterans team up with a train robber's widow to recover a cool half-million in hidden gold. The widow (Ann-Margret), the kind who "sticks out in all the right places," wants to clear her husband's name. The three friends (John Wayne, Rod Taylor, Ben Johnson) want the $50,000 reward. But the dead man's ex-partners just want the gold - and will kill to get it. "Cahill, U.S. Marshal" (1973): Lawman J.D. Cahill can stand alone against a bad-guy army. But as a widower father, he's on unsure footing raising two sons. Particularly when he suspects his boys are involved in a bank robbery…and two killings. Filmed on location in the high desert of Durango, New Mexico, this suspenseful saga serves up the stoic charisma that made John Wayne a box-office legend
