The Quiet Man is my favorite John Wayne film.
 
From 1939 - “Gone With the Wind,” “Goodbye, Mr. Chips,” “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington,”
“Of Mice and Men,” “Stagecoach,” and “The Wizard of Oz.”
 
Swiss Family Robinson
Psycho
Spartacus

1960

Some sources list Spartacus as the top. Apparently the record keeping has changed over the years.
