Here are fifty movies that, one way or another, capture the American spirit. Heroes tall in the saddle, pioneers of land and air, defenders of freedom, men and women who dared to hitch their wagon to a star - they're all here. John Wayne once said that in his work he tried to express a deep and profound love for "a country whose immense beauty and grandeur are matched only by the greatness of her people." That's what these films are about. (Listed in alphabetical order.)
