Everything Ford and Wayne did is good including the underrated and misunderstood "Donovan's Reef".
Next try "The Man who Shot Liberty Valance". Then "Rio Grande", "Stagecoach" and of course "The Quiet Man".
"The Wings of Eagles" is an odd picture. Starts out as one of those rowdy rolicking affairs and ends being quite sad and profound. The picture is about a friend of Ford's who was a naval aviator, was crippled in an accident and became a screenwriter, then returned to duty during WW II Ward Bond does a wonderful turn as Ford himself, called "John Dodge" in the picture. And Wayne forgoes his toupee as the character ages.
