Most of those are John Wayne’s lesser known movies (The man did over 150 movies!) but there are a few that are really good in that collection, mainly McClintock.
90% of them were from the 1930’s before he was a huge star and household name. If your grandfather is old enough to remember those movies then he make like them. If not, there are more John Wayne collections out there.

Cowboys $3.75 Notorious as the first John Wayne film that does the unthinkable–subject Wayne’s character to a nasty fate after only a short time–the 1972 Cowboys isn’t much more interesting beyond that. The story finds Wayne playing a rancher who takes 11 boys on a cattle drive. They run into a nut case (Bruce Dern) who deprives the kids of their leader, and the rest of the film is a tale of revenge. Mark Ryd… |

The Alamo [Restored Original Director's Cut] [VHS] $3.39 John Wayne drew on what he learned from John Ford, Howard Hawks, and practically everyone who directed him during his long career when he made his own directorial debut on this labor of love. The Alamo is a sprawling, unabashedly patriotic epic of the sacrifice made by 187 men defending the Alamo from Santa Ana’s bigger and better equipped army. Wayne stars as Col. Davy Crockett, the straight-talk… |

McLintock! (John Wayne Estate Authorized Edition) [VHS] $3.00 John Wayne and Maureen O’Hara were born to star in “The Taming of the Shrew,” and this is the closest they ever got. Wayne plays a cattle baron whose estranged wife (O’Hara) wants a divorce. The film is basically one long, funny brawl between them, ending with a mud pit melee and Wayne publicly spanking O’Hara, which doesn’t look quite so politically correct anymore. This is no great shakes–direc… |

The Shootist [VHS] $5.39 The last film of John Wayne could not have been more fitting, full of details that can’t help but make one reflect upon his legacy in the movies and his life as a star. Wayne plays a career gunfighter in the autumn of his life, trying to hang up his pistols after he discovers he’s dying of cancer. Boarding in the house of an attractive widow (Lauren Bacall) and her son (Ron Howard), Wayne’s chara… |

True Grit $7.99 A 14-year-old girl needs a man with “true grit” to help her bring in the fugitive who killed her father. That she settles on Rooster Cogburn–a one-eyed, booze-soaked, potbellied U.S. marshal on the downward curve of his career in law enforcement–is the glorious springboard for all versions of True Grit: the Charles Portis novel, the 1969 western that won an Oscar for John Wayne, and the 2010 Coe… |
