I'd add the Searchers. The emotions that play across his face when he finally rescues Natalie Wood... subtle and complex. One of his best pieces of acting.
I believe it was one of my mother’s favorite John Wayne movie. Her favorite line was from the little boy, “Mister, are you my grandfather?” and knowing that he was his father.
Big Jake has many great scenes that make this movie memorable especially the ones between Patrick and Duke. The music score by Elmer Bernstein was excellent. This movie was a bit more violent than others but in all still good.
Wonderful acting. The facial expressions tell us everything we need to know, without words. Look at both of their facial expressions when he opens the box. What thought crosses your mind? Incredible acting
He knew that Miss Martha had never put $1,000,000 in the strong box. I agree.There's no way that I would pay someone after my friends & family had been shot,killed &/or crippled.
@@matthewlivermanne4441 i would like to know what she whispered in his ear at the end of "the Quiet Man". whatever it was, it surprised him and caught him off guard. i'm sure it wasn't in the script.
John Wayne was much more of a subtle actor than most realize. If you really don't know his work, you think he's a one note song, but it's not true. Sometimes his face will change 3 times before he even speaks. One of his funniest lines from (I think) War Wagon with Ann Margaret he says "Baby sister, I have a saddle that's older than you!"...with that look. Reading thru the comments I thank you all for leaving Duke's political views out of it. He was an actor and had a right to his views, whether we agree with them or not. RIP Jake....
The Movie he says Baby Sister I've got a Saddle that's older than you,,, is "The Train Robbers"... 😎🙂😎 I used to think that was a kinda funny statement, but time keeps moving on, now I keep catching myself saying that to the younger ladies that come onto me...😎🤠😎
Richard Boone knew he was dying when he made this film. Cancer took him about two years later. “Big Jake” was the last movie Richard Boone ever did and he went out superbly. Wayne and O’Hara played off of each other so well in this movie! It is as wonderful a film as “The Quiet Man” when both of them are on the screen.
They do look good - especially for 'back then' but you also have to remember they are wearing about 5 pounds of make up - male and females and no HD cameras back then.
The best film The Duke made in the latter part of his career ("The Shootist" being a a close second, for differing reasons)... The gunplay and ultimate violence make this the penultimate John Wayne film... From his introduction while saving the sheep herder, to when he gives his derringer to his grandson... Classic American old west character!
In my opinion, El Dorado and Rio Bravo are the best. B Working Wayne and Mitchum together was a masterpiece ( and the other three stars). Rio Bravo showed Dean Martin had amazing talent beyond singing voice. Rick Nelson helped but darn I love watching Walter Brennan. Yes, I know many claim Brennan was this and that. Maybe he was, maybe not. When the nasty comments began in earnest, he was long gone. Funny how that works many times.
@@JW...-oj5iw You get an internet point for catching a misspelled word. Dog was a "Rough Collie" that was painted black for the role. You may move along now.
I really like the conspiring glance they give each other when he opens the strongbox and sees what is inside. It pays off later in the movie when we find out what is really in the box. It is then you realize what she meant by, "giving them exactly what they've ask for." She didn't mean "pay the ransom". She meant "kill them".
I agree with that. I saw this movie in the theatres with my dad. Everybody in the theatre laughed their ass off when Dukes face appeared. Perhaps the creator of this vid is unaware that Wayne and O'Hara had played bickering marriage partners in previous movies
I remember reading somewhere, years ago, that the dog was one of the dogs to portray Lassie. It's fur was colored to look darker because the Lassie people didn't want to ruin the image of Lassie as a wholesome, friendly dog. I've wondered if the dog that was Wayne's sidekick in the movie Hondo was also an acting dog from the Lassie line.
The truly funny thing is to look at footage of Ethan Wayne, who played Little Jake in this movie, and see how much he looks like his father today! Ethan the John Wayne Museum in Arizona. He is about 63 and probably about 230 lb you don't need a DNA check to tell you who his father is!
People Sleep Peacefully in Their Beds at Night Only Because Rough Men Stand Ready to Do Violence on Their Behalf -- commonly attributed to George Orwell
I swear, if you put John Wayne and Johnny Cash in the same room...well, I don't think that all of the American's could muster up enough testosterone to match that. Real Americans
"Where the hell did you dig him up?" James, to his mother from the book of the movie. "From a million acre ranch in Mexico!" she replies...always thought that line should have been IN the movie! P.S. what REALLY blows my mind is how much ETHAN Wayne (Little Jake) looks like his dad now!
Why would you waist the 1st 5 min on the opening at the ranch ? the only part that counts is John Wayne's opening scene then everything at the depot with Jake's arrival to him knocking Patrick Wayne on his ass for not answering his question... the best opening for a movie.
I'm in my 70s now and I've seen many John Wayne movies. This is one of the best.
Me too
The best one is always the one I'm watching. He's got so many I really couldn't pick a favorite. They don't make good movies anymore.
Hands down one of the best Movies Mr. John Wayne made. My Mom and I could sit down and watch this and “ The Cowboys” forever.
his 2 best imo.
Me too, Love John Wayne, never get tires of him.
So can I - love John Wayne.
I'd add the Searchers. The emotions that play across his face when he finally rescues Natalie Wood... subtle and complex. One of his best pieces of acting.
I believe it was one of my mother’s favorite John Wayne movie. Her favorite line was from the little boy, “Mister, are you my grandfather?” and knowing that he was his father.
One of my favorite John Wayne movies. I love that Wayne's actual sons played his boys in this.
Actually Michael was played by Robert Mitchum’s son Christopher.
I never get tired of this movie
100% classic! Grew up watching this movie. Seen it no less than 100 times. Wayne is the greatest.
You are right, God I miss him.
My son is named Jacob because of this movie.
I agree
Gotta love those "bullet" bras women wore back then.
I watched it over n over at my grandparents
Maureen O'Hara 👩🦰 giant of an actress 💚💚💚🖼
One of my favorite John Wayne films! Boone is fantastic in this film! ☮️🖖🏽
Yep. “Donovan’s Reef, The Quiet Man.” Perfection.
The best character intro of any movie of all time...
When I watched John Wayne as a kid I didn't want to be an actor, just a solid honest man like him.
Didn't we all? ❤❤❤
Big Jake has many great scenes that make this movie memorable especially the ones between Patrick and Duke. The music score by Elmer Bernstein was excellent. This movie was a bit more violent than others but in all still good.
Every John Wayne had class every one of them!!!
Daddy?
DADDY!
One great actor
Bob Barber was a lawyer Good Guy.
Great movie, all time classic ! Named my first son Jake, love John Wayne! 💙🇺🇸
One of the best John Wayne movies I have ever seen
I've no clue why I love this movie so much & always had!
Richard Boone plays a great bad guy.
When I was young, I did not enjoy John Wayne's movies
But now, I enjoy many of the clips.
Great movie! My son is named after Big Jake.
Excellent film. I'd sure love to be the proud owner of that pair of Greeners. I wonder if they're still in existence.
You and me both. I have looked everywhere and can’t find one.
An absolute marvelous movie! IMO, one of his best! I love the hanging scene!
Its awesome how it takes 2 guys to carry in the strongbox, then the Duke carries it out by himself.
The look when she gives him the boy's hat 😅😅😅
Wonderful acting. The facial expressions tell us everything we need to know, without words.
Look at both of their facial expressions when he opens the box. What thought crosses your mind?
Incredible acting
You don't realize until later that Mrs McCandles is a stone cold bi#@h condemning the kidnappers to death.
He knew that Miss Martha had never put $1,000,000 in the strong box.
I agree.There's no way that I would pay someone after my friends & family had been shot,killed &/or crippled.
I think the baby sister line is from True Grit. He calles young Mattie baby sister throughout the movie.
I always considered it interesting how Wayne and O'Hara could play estranged couples who manage to maintain a passion for each other.
They were an acting duo who understood one another.
I think they were actually in love and had much respect for each other
They were great actors and best friends.
@@matthewlivermanne4441 i would like to know what she whispered in his ear at the end of "the Quiet Man". whatever it was, it surprised him and caught him off guard. i'm sure it wasn't in the script.
@paulmiddleton4215 The Quiet Man is my favorite all time film.

He did raise three good sons who made something of themselves, many of his contemporaries failed. That counts for a lot.
@@tedb.5707 Absolutely Ted....absolutely.
Loo
The Movie he says Baby Sister I've got a Saddle that's older than you,,, is "The Train Robbers"... 😎🙂😎 I used to think that was a kinda funny statement, but time keeps moving on, now I keep catching myself saying that to the younger ladies that come onto me...😎🤠😎
..."Mrs. Lowe, I've got a saddle that's older than you"... The Train Robbers, 1973...
Named my son after his character Jacob. He was always my favorite .
So did I.
Wayne's response to the Wild Bunch and his outrage at seeing bandits and killers identified as heroes. God bless John Wayne.
DOG was the best part of the movie!
My all-time favorite Duke movie.
Wayne was 62, Boone 54 and even though she was 51 at the time of this film, Maureen O'Hara looked 20 years younger than them.
@Thomas Dailey his name is Ethan, look him up on the Internet he looks like his dad today!
Richard Boone knew he was dying when he made this film. Cancer took him about two years later. “Big Jake” was the last movie Richard Boone ever did and he went out superbly. Wayne and O’Hara played off of each other so well in this movie! It is as wonderful a film as “The Quiet Man” when both of them are on the screen.
@@williampaz2092 Richard Boone was in "The Shootist", again with John Wayne, five years after this.
They do look good - especially for 'back then' but you also have to remember they are wearing about 5 pounds of make up - male and females and no HD cameras back then.
The shootist he was in 76
This is my second favorite John Wayne movie. My very favorite is "The Cowboys", but I love this movie. My third is, "The Shootist"...
Always wanted a dog so when I said “dog”, he knew exactly what to do and to whom!
That dog was the dukes personal dog came from a litter of the original “lassie” how’s that for movie trib
Had a coyote like that best dog ever
It is harsh and unpleasant kind of business and will need a harsh and unpleasant kind of man! I love that shit!
Rest in peace big John
I wish i knew I had a friend like Big Jake ....😔
This ; & El Dorado ; are my favorite John Wayne movies !
John Wayne was always A GREAT MAN!
Damn. Maureen O',Hara. Fine looking woman. What they used to call a handsome woman.
the duke...the best..always was
always will be x
Love Wayne films never tire watching them,no one like him really
The best film The Duke made in the latter part of his career ("The Shootist" being a a close second, for differing reasons)...
The gunplay and ultimate violence make this the penultimate John Wayne film... From his introduction while saving the sheep herder, to when he gives his derringer to his grandson... Classic American old west character!
Baby sister came from True Grit
WE THE PEOPLE could use a man with the DUKES sentiments as part of the UNITED STATES LEADERSHIP in these troubling times .
The Duke. What a great movie!!❤❤
In my opinion, El Dorado and Rio Bravo are the best. B
Working Wayne and Mitchum together was a masterpiece ( and the other three stars). Rio Bravo showed Dean Martin had amazing talent beyond singing voice.

"we don't have any choice but to give them what they asked for". ....... she woke up and chose violence
John Wayne, the Best. Não existem mais John Waynes, nem Ronald Reagan, nem Mauren Oharas.
Love those double barrels. Great movie.
Always go with Duke and the Dog
They killed the dog!
DAMN RIGHT
That poor boarder collie was painted black, always get a chuckle out of that lol.
@@stevejohnson6248 ... Dog wasn't a Border Collie. There's no such breed as a "boarder collie".
@@JW...-oj5iw You get an internet point for catching a misspelled word. Dog was a "Rough Collie" that was painted black for the role. You may move along now.
The Dukes best movie!
I loved big Jake..a well made western.
La ultima pelicula juntos de Maureen y John!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I really like the conspiring glance they give each other when he opens the strongbox and sees what is inside. It pays off later in the movie when we find out what is really in the box. It is then you realize what she meant by, "giving them exactly what they've ask for." She didn't mean "pay the ransom". She meant "kill them".
She knew exactly who was right for the job!
What did they "ask for"? ...A Bullet, with interest.
I like how they refer to Mr.McCandles as "himself". In other words, the great one.
In the 1700s to the early 1900s himself was the title given to the head of household even if he was always gone.
Well, I watched this in the family car way back when....I thought the motorcycle scene was very cool. Dad bought me a dirt bike about 2 years later.
8:49 LOVE IT! Wifey can NEVER say, "You're not the man I married." LOL!
My favorite film i now have a 35mm film print of Big Jake
Love that movie

It is now 2019 and we still have cow thieves
Yep we sure do some of the old west will never die!!! I kind of like it about our world still to this day!!!
And murderous dirt bags.
Are you my Grandfather?
Yes sir!
Who isnt in love with Maureen Ohara FFS OMG
The best intro in movie history and it is missing? After she says it will be unpleasant,you see the Duke looking down a rifle barrel
I agree with that. I saw this movie in the theatres with my dad. Everybody in the theatre laughed their ass off when Dukes face appeared. Perhaps the creator of this vid is unaware that Wayne and O'Hara had played bickering marriage partners in previous movies
still a great movie....
That's nearly $50-million in today's money.
Still my favorite John Wayne movie.
Have always wanted to know more about Dog who was by Jacob's side throughout this movie. would love it if anyone has any info.
Dragons 88 damned if that dog doesn't look like Lassie with coal dust
I remember reading somewhere, years ago, that the dog was one of the dogs to portray Lassie. It's fur was colored to look darker because the Lassie people didn't want to ruin the image of Lassie as a wholesome, friendly dog.
I've wondered if the dog that was Wayne's sidekick in the movie Hondo was also an acting dog from the Lassie line.
Looking at the Dog I had a neighbor who had a dog that looked like that, everyone was scared but he was nice.
You brought Betsy! I love it when people name there guns Homer Simpsons: Mr. Blasty
“It pays to be careful”... as he sticks the gun in his crotch 😅
Making the Duke mad was not wise, angering Maureen O'Hare was lethal...
The airport isn't named for her.
Don't ever make a redhead mad.Maureen O'Hara was all women.
Maureen, wow!
Watch her in "The Hunchback of Notre Dame". True beauty. From the 30's I think.
The truly funny thing is to look at footage of Ethan Wayne, who played Little Jake in this movie, and see how much he looks like his father today! Ethan the John Wayne Museum in Arizona. He is about 63 and probably about 230 lb you don't need a DNA check to tell you who his father is!
He just turned 60. I see him occasionally at my rowing club in Newport Beach.
I still believe this was one of his best movies
"Not Hardly"
Jonh wayne es el tipo de hombre que me gusta,lo amare siempre❤️❤️❤️😍
I don't think John Wayne was none too happy with the choice of hats for the boy
Back when people knew the value and necessity of harsh and uncivilized kind of men.

The little boy in the film is John Wayne's son in real life.
grandson.
+general mayhem No, the boy, in the film was his Grandson in the film but his actual son in life.
@@babayaga1767 not grandson, he is his son.
and of course dukes son patrick is in it along with robert mitchums son, christopher

GREAT MOVIE

Mrs. McCandles made a great wife. What made her great was, she knew the kind of man Jake was, his capabilities and required resources he needed.
The best part was when Duke was watching the almost hanging with the sheep hearder who was(dr. Bombay) from bewitched,and they zoomed in on his face
Dog let’s go !
Don't mess with Palidin.
