Stagecoach(1939)

Though it is in Black and white this movie that introduces John Wayne to his Cowboy career and type casts him to it as well. Claire Trevor who lived until 2000 won I believe an Oscar for her performance in this movie. She also was paid 5 times as much as John Wayne for her role in this movie because she was also an established actress and he was new to starring roles at the time. It is set I believe in Arizona? and Geronimo is a part of the story. Very well developed characters which changed the way Westerns were seen ever after. It's in Black and White so be ready for that unless you get a computer colorized version from Turner which I believe was done in the 1980s or 1990s.

John Wayne died of Lung Cancer caused by nuclear radiation dust from atomic bomb testing from breathing the dust in  where they were filming one of his movies. Many people who worked with him on that particular movie likely also eventually died from cancer from radiation poisoning from breathing radioactive dust blowing into their area where they were filming then.
