I don't care if you don't want to see those, but neither is bad. You've watched worse movies if that's what you have left.
Howard Hawks said you need three great scenes (great not good) and no bad one. Hitchcock said "the script, the script, the script."
Ward Bond plays a character based on Ford in The Wings of Eagles, based on the life of screenwriter Frank "Spig" Wead, but he doesn't actually look or sound like him. Lynch is closer in both regards. Also, Ford directed that, which is probably why he used the main character's real name but changed his own name. That's also the only movie where you see balding John Wayne without his toupee, which he wore for much of his career.
I don't think there are other movies with Ford as a character. He wasn't a media personality like Welles or Hitchcock.
