In honor of John Wayne's 119th birthday earlier this week, Fawesome TV has put together a list of some of the Duke's greatest Western hits, free of charge. From his collaborations with John Ford and Howard Hawks, spanning from the black-and-white era to true-blue Technicolor, the streaming platform allows for anyone to celebrate his decades-long Hollywood career through the month of May — and the month is almost over.

There are certain things you might expect to see at the end of a Western, and with some of the movies below, some have inevitable endings. Like, a reliable thing to do is have a showdown, building to it the whole movie, or a memorable Western ending might do something else, or have some kind of final battle/shootout end in a way that’s perhaps unexpected.

John Wayne is the epitome of classic cinema and an icon of Hollywood's Golden Age, who made a name for himself by starring in timeless Westerns and war films such as The Searchers, Sands of Iwo Jima, and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. Born in Winterset, Iowa, Wayne, also known as Duke, started as a prop and stuntman in Hollywood before taking on bit roles and eventually earning his breakout role in John Ford's 1939 classic Western Stagecoach, leading him to become one of Hollywood's biggest box office draws for three decades.
