I'm glad you liked this movie and I hope you will watch all of John Wayne's war movies.
I have seen all of Duke's war movies, The Longest Day helped get me past my Genre avoidance stage, and my favorite Duke war film is The Green Berets. Dunno why, but I always enjoy watching that film.
I was initially reluctant to watch this film, cause it was a war film and for the longest time I had the strongest aversion to that genre. But after deciding to suck it up and watch it, I found it to be an extremely enjoyable film with no weak parts whatsoever other than a miner deficiency of vitamin Duke.
