    Default John Wayne vs Clint Eastwood etc.

    Who is the king of the west? If they would meet in a duel, who would win the duel? And who made the coolest movies?

    edit: damn 7 views and still no more votes...?!!! this is an as important question as ninjas vs pirates and I think everyone should do their duty and vote!

    In a duel between the Clint Eastwood & John Wayne the latter wouldn't stand a chance. Blonde's lightning fast reflexes would send the Duke to a dusty grave for sure. However, the Duke isn't your run of the mill hombre from the badlands. In order to bring down the Duke down Clint would have to unload an entire Colt 45 revolver into him, reload... then do it again!

    Thanks to the Italians Clint wound up starring in the coolest and most memorable westerns ever made. The westerns he did afterwards were good and they certainly ranked high on America's home grown list but none came close to the trilogy he did for Leone. Hell, even the spaghetti western soundtracks kicked ass; Ennio Morricone's scores set the bar so high that everyone immediately refers to his work when discussing the genre. Do you know anyone who hums or whistles the soundtracks to "The Searchers" or "Rio Bravo"??? I certainly don't, but once in awhile I still catch someone making that trademark whistle tune from "The Good, The Bad and the Ugly."

    Clint + Sergio Leone + Ennio Morricone = Best Westerns Ever

    Clint, he may be old, but he still makes the bad guys pay!
    When I was a child
    I caught a fleeting glimpse
    Out of the corner of my eye.
    I turned to look but it was gone
    I cannot put my finger on it now
    The child is grown,
    The dream is gone.
    I have become comfortably numb...
