I grew up with the Spaghetti Westerns. High Plains Drifter is one of my faves. Can't think of any Clint Eastwood movie I didn't like.

The Outlaw Josey Wales is one of my favorites I have never seen a bad Eastwood movie, it is a shame he is retiring from acting his performance in Grand Torino was excellent.

The original Dirty Harry was the BEST, because of WHERE & WHEN it took place.

Just such a great contrast!

In The Line of Fire
Kelly's Heroes (The Yugoslavian 'Tigers' was cool too)
Where Eagles Dare
Heartbreak Ridge

My personal favorite was Unforgiven. All of the Dirty Harry's were good, with the first one of course being the best. Gran Torino was also pleasantly entertaining. A common one not listed that I particularly liked is In the Line of Fire.

Don't forget "Beguiled", released in 1971 after "Misty and before "Dirty Harry" This movie was critically acclaimed and Clint's acting was one of his better efforts in his younger days. You don't see this movie around much because it doesn't have the action that most of his '70's flicks had. Check out the Wikipedia link Here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beguiled) Good movie!!

Yes! Great movie. Clint as a wounded civil war soldier, taken in by a half-way house for expectant mothers'. Yes? Been awhile since i saw it, cant remember the exact plot.

Ha Ha, Though corny,( especially the very forgetable Sondra Locke, Clint's girlfriend at the time, Yeesh!) Found the "Every which way but loose" flick's entertaining in a pinch. ( I request a last cigarette before you open fire LOL.)

"Unforgiven" and "Dirty Harry" have to top my list.

"Play Misty for Me" hasn't held up over the years for me. Maybe it's because I've heard, "The First Time Every I Saw Your Face" (by Roberta Flack) approximately 7,482,685 times after the movie was released and I now officialy hate it.

BTW: "Play Misty For Me" is the film showing at a movie theater seen at the beginning of Dirty Harry.

"Heartbreak Ridge" wasn't a big one for me, either, but Clint gets a free pass on any movies he's made due to "Unforgiven" and "Dirty Harry".

The Outlaw Josey Wales is one of my all time favorite movies. Unforgiven is up there, too. I actually kind of like Heartbreak Ridge.

Based on the Zodiac killer in the late 60's. We lived in the Bay Area at the time.
The local media was all over it. Very scary as I remember. I was maybe 7 or 8 years old back then.

Always's liked "Joe Kidd" (1972) Clint starred opposite Robert Duvall, and John Saxon. Good entertainment, also liked the lesser known Don Strouds' character.

Pale Rider, which hasn't been mentioned. I don't think anyway, is another decent western for Clint. The idea of a Preacher/Gunfighter is classic.

Preacher/Gunfighter with a twist...He was a Ghost :eek:

"The Stranger" in "High Plains Drifter" may also be a ghost. Eastwood a fan of Japanese cinema, High Plains comes across like Samurai/Ghost story.

My favorite Eastwood movies take him away from his normal screen "persona"...

Kelly's Heros
Play Misty For Me
Thunderbolt and Lightfoot
Escape From Alcatraz
Where Eagles Dare

Some of these are his early stuff before Inspector Callahan. I think once Dirty Harry came out his characters became too predictable.

I always wanted to see this. Never read the book but I think it will be cool to see a "Clint" movie so removed from his screen persona.

Like that Santa Claus movie Charles Bronson did towards the end of his career. I hope he didn't shoot Santa :D

That was a great flick... that's the tough thing about Clint is he has about 45 movies to remember most of 'em I like.

I also liked True Crime and Absolute Power. Pink Cadillac was kind of a bomb but had some funny in it.
