Nothing tops it.
Despite being his first truly great movie, Stagecoach is still the film with John Wayne's best scene. Over the course of his long and storied career in Hollywood, John Wayne headlined dozens of movies, mostly Westerns but also war films, dramas, and adventure movies. Having accumulated a whopping total of 169 movie appearances, John Wayne has no shortage of memorable movie scenes credited to him.
Why The Ringo Kid's Entrance In Stagecoach Is The Best Scene Of John Wayne's Career The Ringo Kid Stole The Show In the black-and-white Western, John Wayne played the lead role of the Ringo Kid, a gunslinger who rides on the titular stagecoach on the long road to New Mexico. However, the film doesn't begin by following Wayne's character. Rather, it focuses on the journey of the characters traveling on the stagecoach ahead of his arrival.
From this point on, it's clear that John Wayne has taken over the movie. His commanding presence, combined with various directing techniques, such as the use of the zoom, allows Stagecoach to convey that the Ringo Kid is the true star of the movie. It's made even more powerful when looking at it in retrospect; in a way, the Ringo Kid's introduction in Stagecoach is a reflection of what this movie meant for Wayne.
