Love them both but I’ve gotta say Clint

59 years old here. I was raised on The Duke, and have met a few folks who actually new him first hand...neighbors out west, and one guy who was a stand in in a few movies...(I forget which one).  The two started their careers in very different eras. Wayne was expected to be the standard up right stalwart hero of American Ideals. I can happily watch any of his movies, but invariably he played...John Wayne.

Clint was certainly more varied...from "Play Misty For Me"...a great taught thriller, I believe his first directorial undertaking, to "Unforgiven"....great range of movies, and he also wrote the theme music to many of his films. I would say the Duke was my parents generations hero, with my generation appreciating him like a favorite uncle, but Clint was my generations man.

x2 (or 3, or 4 or ...) on CE, for reasons above. But it would have been interesting to see how JW fared in a later era, given a chance to stretch his range.

Both are two of my all time favorites but I give the edge to the Duke.

The DUKE...

[UpStateRedNeck]

Objectively Clint is a much better actor, director, most of his films are higher quality with more character.  But I grew up watching Duke Wayne and you really can't get over that "I'm 5 years old and that man right there is a 20 feet tall hero" first impression.  There's a reason I had cap gun 6 shooters on my bed post from age 3 to 7!

I love that movie.

Anyway, both. And Lee Marvin.

[Steuben Jerry]

Gonna go with Clint here.

[grampy]

At 63 The Duke was my biggest boyhood hero. No one stood taller.

As I got a little older, it was the Clint Eastwood westerns and Dirty Harry, that I enjoyed most.

Both are just awesome. No wrong answer to the OP's question.

All i could see was "the Dude" on a horse. And he didnt whirl a winchester with the reins in his teeth, big disappointment. 

[Water Rat]

It’s not even close in my book..... Clint Eastwood all day. Although I hated those dopey orangutan movies.

I think he died in over ten movies . My favorite sons of Katie elder

Have to give it to the Duke.. small margin..   like the spaghetti  westerns of Clint.. honestly disappointed  in unforgiven  and hated  grand torino  and damn monkey movies .   Charles Bronson  is up there  as well.
