The Complete John Wayne Filmography
Over a career spanning half a century, John Wayne made almost 200 theatrical films and dozens of other films. As Wayne himself has noted that there were many films he worked on but could not remember, the count may well exceed 200. Sometimes he appeared on screen as the film’s star, sometimes as an extra, and sometimes he worked on these projects as a crew member. Included in this section are five lists of John Wayne film work, and these lists are as complete as I have been able to ascertain. The lists are presented in alphabetical order (rather than chronological order), with the year of release following after the name of the film, and other information as well, when necessary.
In the “Theatrical Films” list, alternate titles are also given beneath each film title. In recent years there have been edited down versions of some early John Wayne films, some colorized and others not, that have been re-titled. This has given rise to the mistaken idea that these are previously unknown or unreleased John Wayne films, when the fact of the matter is, they are merely edited and or colorized versions of his films.
The Lists Included in This Section Are:
List #1) The Theatrical Films of John Wayne
List #2) Films with John Wayne as a part of the story line
List #3) Governmental & Industrial films, Theatrical Shorts, Political films, Public Service Announcements (PSA’s) shown in theaters, and a couple of pieces I’ve labeled “other video” that I am not really sure where to put.
List #4) Theatrical newsreels featuring John Wayne.
List #5) “Making of” Featurettes. Although these were primarily shown in theaters, some of those listed here were made specifically for the video release of the particular films.
