 | My Darling Clementine
Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $5.79 Henry Fonda and Walter Brennan star in this absolute classic. The story revolves around the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, but as the title implies, this film is actually about a girl. A strong contender for Ford's greatest western.

 | The Searchers (Ultimate Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $24.49 / Used from: $6.38 The crowning achievement of John Ford and John Wayne. A bitter and unflinching look at what happens when 'search & rescue' becomes 'search & destroy'. Wayne's towering performance as Ethan Edwards has yet to be equaled.

My Rating: 10/10

 | The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
Buy used from: $3.75 A mournful tale set in the twilight of the old west. John Wayne is the aging hero who paves the way for civilization while gradually being phased out. This would prove to be Ford's last great film and it makes a fitting epitaph to his film legacy.
