What was his best Western (not a hotel chain) and what was his best war movie?
I'd say The Longest Day for the best war movie. Not sure for best Western.
John Wayne

The Searchers without a doubt. The Quiet Man is another fantastic Wayne movie.

Red River, El Dorado and Rio Bravo - and yes I'm a Howard Hawks fan

True Grit is one of my all-time favorites.

I like McLintock!, but that may be more due to Maureen O'Hara than Wayne.

Stagecoach, unquestionably. Non-Western, Wake of the Red Witch.

The Sands of Iwo Jima is his only good war movie, because it's the one in which he dies at the end.
(All his war movies are right-wing, racist, and imperialist: The Green Berets, Back to Bataan, etc.)

"The Cowboys" a big hit at Radio City Music Hall.
