I love all those movies with that inmortal team of John Wayne and John Ford. I have seen them all several times, The Searchers the most, and Liberty Valance second, then The Quiet Man, Stagecoach, The Wings of Eagles, They Were Expendable, The Horse Soldiers, then the cavalry trilogy, How The West Was Won, 3 Godfathers, The Long Voyage Home , Donovan's Reef (in which I would have loved to see Robert Mitchum in Lee Marvin's role).
In Fort Apache, Henry Fonda’s character is not a “disgraced general.” As with many regulars after the war, he was reverted from a wartime to a peacetime grade. “Disgruntled” for being “shunted aside” to a post where his chances for further advancement weren’t the best, perhaps. But not “disgraced.”
The Searchers to me was their best; and I have always thought John Wayne was never better
For me Stagecoach 1, The Searchers 2.

"How The West Was Won" was released it the Cinerama format, an ultra wide semi-curved screen.
