There's one John Wayne Western that director John Carpenter adores so much, he remade it twice himself. During a 2011 chat with Rotten Tomatoes, Carpenter namechecked several movies he called his "emotional favorites," meaning they were the films he fell in love with as a child and inspired his love of movies. Among this list was Forbidden Planet, X: The Unknown and The Thing from Another World; he eventually remade the latter as 1982's The Thing. He also states he got into the movie business to make Westerns as he "Loved Westerns… Loved them. I mean, huge love."
