One of the key scenes in Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven was inspired by John Wayne's final movie, The Shootist. Eastwood made his name on the big screen with Westerns like the Dollars movie trilogy, but he largely stepped away from the genre in the late 1970s. Unforgiven was a screenplay he sat on for nearly a decade, as he felt it could be his perfect last statement on the genre and the myth of the Old West. Unforgiven was released in 1992 and not only did it win Best Picture and Best Director at the 65th Academy Awards, but it's also considered one of the finest Westerns ever produced.
