- 'The Searchers' (1956) Cast: John Wayne, Jeffrey Hunter, Vera Miles, and Natalie Wood. Few Westerns are quite as iconic as The Searchers, to the point where labeling it John Ford's greatest achievement as a filmmaker feels like a no-brainer.
- 'The Grapes of Wrath' (1940) Cast: Henry Fonda, Jane Darwell, and John Carradine. One year before he won a Best Director Oscar for How Green Was My Valley, John Ford also won for his work on The Grapes of Wrath.
- 'The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance' (1962) Cast: John Wayne, James Stewart, Vera Miles, and Lee Marvin. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance was one of John Ford's final Westerns, and arguably his last great one, too.
- 'Stagecoach' (1939) Cast: John Wayne, Claire Trevor, Andy Devine, and John Carradine. Though it was released in 1939, which was an overall very strong year for American movies, Stagecoach still stands out, and is arguably one of the very best releases of its entire decade.
Ford is renowned for his Westerns, such as Stagecoach (1939), My Darling Clementine (1946), Fort Apache (1948), The Searchers (1956), and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962); though he worked in many other genres, including comedies, period dramas, and documentaries.
