John Wayne made some really interesting later Westerns, like El Dorado, True Grit, The Cowboys, and The Shootist. John Ford directed Wayne and Henry Fonda in Fort Apache.

Lonesome Dove is tremendous. The novel by Larry McMurtry is also great. McMurtry's original idea was that it would be a screenplay for Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, and Henry Fonda, but Wayne dropped out.
