John Wayne and Bruce Cabot made 11 films together according to IMDb’s Bruce Cabot filmography note, which says they “eventually appeared in 11 films together.”

A quick note

There’s a small discrepancy online because one IMDb list says 12 titles , while Cabot’s IMDb bio explicitly states 11 films together.

So the safest answer is 11 confirmed collaborations , with some lists counting 12 titles depending on inclusion criteria.

Why the count varies

Different film lists sometimes count:

  • uncredited appearances,
  • archival footage,
  • or entries where both actors are associated with a title in a broad catalog.

That’s usually why one source can show 12 while a biographical summary says 11.

Most direct answer

They made 11 movies together.
