Dude watch Unforgiven and Pale Rider. Both excellent.

True Grit, I like the new one better, just preference really. I would count the entry as interchanable with old/new.
I didnt think Wayne made a convicing drunk. Felt like he was forcing it too much. I feel Bridges blew him away. IMO Wayne was more at home in roles like The Searchers or The Shootist.

I like Wayne killing gooks in The Green Berets.

Made a friend watch Funny Games. He enjoyed it.

Another fine adventure film.

Pale Rider was a minor dose of pooh.  And I should know, I paid to see it.

The Searchers, now that was a movie. My favorite John Wayne flick.

After The Green Berets: A Nixon Campaign Production, of course.

Hands down fro me in the John Wayne war category was "They Were Expendable"

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

As others have pointed out, that list has too many omissions and reads like some whose only been watching movies for 10-12 years.
Lots missed out, which is why it can't be 'essential'. 
Now if they'd called it 'My favourite films, a 20something's view'

Personally, you can't have an definitive/'essential'/greatest movie list, it can only be well, personal. 

I suggest each Languishite spend the next 3 hours coming up with their own favourites list.   :D

Pass. I'll just mock everybody's selections and dig up gems from the grade D movie catalog.

You're everyone's problem. That's because every time you write a movie review, you're unsafe. I don't like you because you're dangerous.
