I'll fess up. I liked the second one better. Modern movie standards made it more realistic.

Come to think of it, I did see him on some awards show in a tux and not western garb.

The Duke starred in many of the best westerns of all time, but Jeff Bridges' version was much better than the original (although JB got out acted by a girl).

It was always hard taking Glenn Campbell (although a true OG) serious in that role, too.

Hellfighters? Great flick.

No not Hellfighters.....The Longest Yard.....or Day....or something like that. It was kind of a Sea Battle or something.

The remake was far superior. Barry Pepper was a wonderful villain.

I hope people go see the Magnificent Seven remake so Hollywood will make a few more westerns.

Agree. When people complain about no more originality in Hollywood today, I tell them to count the number of Westerns that were made in the 40s and 50s.

In the first one, it was John Wayne playing John Wayne. In the second movie, it was Jeff Bridges playing Rooster Cogburn. I enjoyed both, and as a child I idolized John Wayne. However, if forced to pick, I prefer the Coen/Bridges version.

John Wayne only ever played John Wayne. Never understood the fascination with him.

Which is not all that unusual for movie stars even today. I don't think I've ever sat down to watch a movie because of John Wayne but I have watched many a movie in which he was the star.

I enjoy both versions of True Grit but the Coen brothers version is the superior film mostly due to the dry humor being more evident and Hailee Steinfeld's portrayal of Mattie.
