Hellfighters starring John Wayne
I feel I should begin by saying that I'm not a big John Wayne fan; maybe that's because I'm not a big fan of most westerns/war movies. However, I consider a few John Wayne movies to be "must haves." Hellfighters is one of them. The visuals of oil well fires are a testament to superb pre-CGI movie-making. I find it all the more exciting to know that it's based on the work of a real oil well firefighter. Other John Wayne "must haves" are The Quiet Man, McLintock and Hatari.
