Question
How many films in all was John Wayne in?
Depends on how you define "films" and "was in." Are you limiting it to feature films, or do short promotions count? Do gag cameo appearences count? What about his image appearing in TV documentaries?
ANYWAY, here's a (fairly) complete filmography, and I'll let you decide which films count and which do not.

According to Patrick Robertson, _Guinness Book of Movie Facts and Feats_, Abbeville Press, New York, NY, USA (1991), Wayne was top-billed in 142 of these films.

Expertise
I have seen ALMOST every film with an appearance by The Duke, made since 1940, and a few dozen of those before then. If it's a film with him, I've most likely seen it, have an opinion on it, and can try to answer questions about it. I have no usable expertise for films not starring John Wayne.
Experience
I saw my first film in which Wayne stars almost fifty years ago. Since then, I have seen over 120 films where he makes an appearance.
