I love Silverado but my only problem with it is there isn't enough of Kevin Costner in it. He is adorable in this. Love it when he rides wild into town and kicks in the saloon doors and then gets two baddies at once. Really cool.

First of all, this was meant to be a fun tribute to the westerns of yesteryear. Second, OPEN RANGE is one of the best movie westerns ever made AND Kevin Costner knows how to make those masterpieces. HE IS BETTER than Eastwood any day of the week. Third, John Wayne was just ok. In every western, he played basically the same cowboy. Talk about having no range!!! Please. Fourth of all, the characters were great in Silverado. Not everybody has to like it but to say it's the worst is a downright LIE. FIFTH POINTget your stupid friends to tell you whether or not you should go and see a movie because you are too ignorant to make up your own minds. END OF LESSON.

LOL I like Silverado but that's quite the hissy fit, ah I get it now you're a Costner fanboy. As much as I quite like Costner, he isn't anyhwhere near to Eastwood in acting or directing, period. As a Costner fanboy you lack any real subjectivity don't you as I will show below.
Just looking through your IMDB ratings you've given Costner 10 out of 10 for every film he's made lol, Waterworld, Postman, The New Daughter, American Flyers etc etc etc. Yet we are to take you as credible when you've given films like Pulp Fiction 1, Forrest Gump 1, Gladiator 1, Goodfellas 1, The Silence of the Lambs 1, Saving Private Ryanm 2, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind 1, No Country for Old Men 1, Heat 1, Unforgiven 1. I understand people have diferent tastes but seriously? I bet it nearly killed you to give A Perfect World 10, Eastwood, directed and starred, good job Costner was in it otherwise it would have got a 1. It's people like you that make the IMDB ratings system a joke.
I wouldn't be calling anyone stupid or ignorant if I was you. -

There's no reason for a comparison, anyway. Most of us have enough time left in our lives to watch our favorite Costner films, our favorite Eastwood films, and our Favorite John Wayne films at least once more.
So who needs to choose?!?
Frankly, of the three stars, there are more John Wayne films I'd choose to watch as my "last movie" than Eastwood films, and more Eastwood films than Costner films and I like all three actors a lot.
For Costner, I'd probably go with either Silverado or Tin Cup.
For Eastwood, it would be Kelly's Heroes, hands down, although Any Which Way but Loose would be in there swinging.
For John Wayne, the list is REALLY long. Great war films, great dramatic westerns, great adventure comedies all come to mind. How do you choose between The Quiet Man, McClintock, In Harm's Way, Sands of Iwo Jima, Stagecoach, True Grit, The Searchers, Donovan's Reef, Hatari!, and on and on. Say what you will about the versatility of his acting, but he left a legacy of VERY watchable films that is virtually unrivaled.
