    Best John Wayne - The Fighting Seabees or The Sands of Iwo Jima
    Best Marlon Brando - Apocalypse Now
    Best Tom Hanks - The Green Mile
    Best James Stewart - Harvey
    Best Clint Eastwood - Unforgiven
    Best Charles Bronson - The Mechanic
    Best Lee Marvin - The Dirty Dozen
    Best Steve McQueen - The Great Escape

    It was difficult to pick the best Wayne and Eastwood movies as I have thoroughly enjoyed so many of his over the years.

    They made a series after the mini series. It was never an actual "movie" per say. It's like 8hrs long.
