I will say this...If you want to get the John Wayne career in a quick timespan...
You have to watch Red River...
In AFI's list of Top Ten greatest Westerns its #5.
And then you have to watch The Shootist.
The beginning and the end.
You get young Wayne, last hurrah Wayne in a bookend double-feature. That's why the Shootist is a love letter to his Westerns.
You have to watch Red River...

John Ford, who worked with Wayne on many films such as Stagecoach, The Searchers and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, was so impressed with Wayne's performance that he is reported to have said, "I didn't know the big son of a bitch could act!"

And then you have to watch The Shootist.

Footage from Red River was later incorporated into the opening montage of Wayne's last film, The Shootist, to illustrate the backstory of Wayne's character.

So many of John Wayne's movies have been mentioned, but I was always partial to "The Hellfighters". Not a western but about firefighters of oilfield fires. A lot of fun.

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (My all-time favorite movie)
The Quiet Man

All of his best movies have already been mentioned but one that always appealed to me for some reason is Legend of the Lost with him and Sophia Loren. It's probably not considered a great movie but anytime I see it on somewhere I give it a watch.

I still use this phrase all the time on family vacations when trying to get the young ones up in the morning.

Angel and the Badman is another good Wayne movie definitely worth watching

Liberty Valance is my favorite by far.
The Searchers is good but very dark.
