John Wayne Math

My oldest son and I have been watching some old cowboy movies -- John Wayne has figured prominently in these movies. While watching "Stagecoach", the question came up as to how many movies John Wayne has made. I grabbed the movie lists from a number of sites on the web (here, here, here, and here). The lists were all different. I simply threw the lists into Excel, cleaned up the names so they all agreed, and removed duplicates. Here is the list. I filtered out all of his television work, but left in some movie narration. The Duke performed in 168 movies over a 50 year period. Unfortunately, not all of the movies survive. This is quite a list.

"The Searchers" is still my favorite cowboy movie.
