Clint every time,though I think his character development was helped by having some great actors (Wallach,Van Cleef,)as strong nemeses,pitched against him.

Spaghetti Westerns changed everything. Before that you had good guys (John Wayne) versus bad guys.
There was a moral in there. John always did the decent thing.
Then along came Clint who was basically a cunt and shot anyone.
No morals.
Repeat for Dirty Harry Callaghan..just fucking shoot criminals dead.
Saves a fortune.
Superb.
Job done.

Then along came Clint who was basically a cunt and shot anyone. No morals. Repeat for Dirty Harry Callaghan..just fucking shoot criminals dead. Saves a fortune. Superb. Job done. I've not given the moral dimension any real thought before, I'll need to let it marinade in me brain a while. Morals and Hollywood is a mucky business. I was a nipper when Marion was taking on all and sundry, Rooster Cogburn is a brilliant character. And then watched the rise of Eastwood. John Wayne was sunday/saturday afternoon, standing proud against the enemies of America. Confederates and the like. One of me uncles taking the piss. "Get off your horse and drink yer milk" in a Tunstall Texan drawl. Clint was about being allowed to stay up late, because me old man thought he was him {and Ali, and Elvis and Tom, rolled into one. With a hint of Bruce Lee and Giant Haystacks..} getting utterly mesmerized by the sparse, cool and dangerous atmosphere. Clint never seemed to make enemies with them injuns much. He had truck with the Union troops and Mexicans, as I recall. I'd had spaghetti in a tin by then on toast, but it still sounded exotic. Both brilliant as entertainment. I'm sure there must be a 'Vietnam time line involved. I bet there's been theses written on their differing approach and the cultural/societal significance.. 'Eastwood has called The Outlaw Josey Wales an anti-war film.[17] In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, he said: "As for Josey Wales, I saw the parallels to the modern day at that time. Everybody gets tired of it, but it never ends. A war is a horrible thing, but it's also a unifier of countries... Man becomes his most creative during war. Look at the amount of weaponry that was made in four short years of World War II—the amount of ships and guns and tanks and inventions and planes and P-38s and P-51s, and just the urgency and the camaraderie, and the unifying. But that's kind of a sad statement on mankind, if that's what it takes."' I always thought Yul Bryner was the wankest cowboy ever. Apart from the bits I've seen of Woody. Oh.. and I'd be worried. 'In August 2010, Eastwood wrote to the Chancellor of the Exchequer of the United Kingdom, George Osborne, to protest the decision to close the UK Film Council. Eastwood warned that the closure could result in fewer foreign production companies choosing to work in the UK.'

Clint every time for me, although im not a big Western fan
Always thought John Wayne was a bit cheesy; although I did like True Grit and The Searchers
Loved the way Kurt Russell paid tribute to Clint with this character..

I think any sensible observer of the movie business would probably go with Clint Eastwood. But personally, I think John Wayne transcended the genre (and Clint) with this one scene.
