The Shootist

John Wayne: one last shot before the final farewell - Telegraph: "In 1976, battling the cancer that would kill him, John Wayne stepped in front of the camera for one final face-off. The result was 'The Shootist’, a rich and elegiac western and, says Philip Horne, a fitting swansong for Hollywood’s most courageous gunslinger."

Great movie until the final scene when Opie throws away the gun and The Duke nods his approval. Read the book for the real ending, which was so much better.
