EVERY single western he ever made. I’m a big fan of westerns and a big fan of Mr. Eastwood.
He has had an amazing career … and has cut a wide swath through the muck that is known as Hollywood. He has done every major job in connection with movies: producer, director, actor, musician, composer … and he has done well at every one of those positions.
He will be missed when it’s his time to go …
Gran Torino.
No possible argument.
He took his entire oeuvre, distilled it perfectly and at the end
turned it on it’s head. It was brilliant on so many levels.
How many Hollyfuck actors get you to root enthusiastically
for a ferociously blatant America first white “racist?” Shits all over the liberal
“get along with the minority scum (the niggers who tried to rape the Hmong girl dating the wigger pussy played by Clint’s son Scott.) and your ingrate fuck liberal family who just want your money and property are the good guys.”
You know who he came to respect? The family first, super conservative culture who
put honor and tradition over everything. The Hmong who came here and
embraced America and her values too.
His character died for that idea.
Best by far.
Unforgiven.
“……kid…..we ALL got it coming…..”
”All right, I’m coming out! Any man I see out there, I’m gonna kill him! Any sonofabitch takes a shot at me.. I’m not only gonna kill him, I’m gonna kill his wife, all his friends, and burn his damn house down!”
Grand Torino – seems relevant for today…
Agree with you, Brian and AP.
His masterpiece.
So many choices; Josie Wales is an excellent choice, but I’ll have to go with Gran Torino.
I can’t narrow the quotes down to just one –
1. Duke: What you lookin’ at old man?
Walt Kowalski: Ever notice how you come across somebody once in a while you shouldn’t have fucked with? That’s me.
2. Father Janovich: Why didn’t you call the police?
Walt Kowalski: Well you know, I prayed for them to come but nobody answered.
3. Smokie: Are you fucking crazy? Go back in the house.
Walt Kowalski: Yeah? I blow a hole in your face and then I go in the house… and I sleep like a baby. You can count on that. We used to stack fucks like you five feet high in Korea… use ya for sandbags.
And last, but certainly not least –
4. Thao Vang Lor: What was it like to kill someone?
Walt Kowalski: You don’t want to know.
My vote for best ever.
Love the old westerns but I have to go with Kelly’s Heros.
Ensemble cast, humor, action, great plotline. Don Rickles!
And honorable mentions to Eiger Sanction and Where Eagles Dare.
Hard to beat the scenery in Eiger.
One of my faves.
Because of the mountaineering.
The plot was typical Trevainian shit.
Good choice!!!
“Dirty Harry”, followed by “The Outlaw Josey Wales”.
“This is a .44 magnum, the most powerful handgun on the planet……you’ve got to ask yourself one question, “Do I feel lucky?” “Well, do you, punk?”
I heard Clint liked the feel of a .41 mag better, so they let him use that.
Kelly’s Heroes then High Plains Drifter.
The powerful lure of gold combined with the ineptness of military commanders (but not the average Joe), and the ever-present necessity to right a wrong with revenge. Indeed, good movies. Another good gold-themed one is Pale Rider (combines both themes).
There can’t only be one.
WAHAAA WAHAAA YAAHH!
WAHAAA WAHAAA YAHAAAA!
Name that gem.
“Absolute Power”… “you heartless whore, I’m not going to run from you”…
General theme of horrible government folks being taken out by guns in the hands of good guys. Always a plus.
To that end, The Gauntlet also comes to mind.
I have to agree with Admin, The Outlaw Josey Wales is my favorite Clint Eastwood film. But I do also like Pale Rider.
From Pale Rider – The Preacher: “Nothing like a good piece of hickory.”
Partial to Pale Rider myself but they’re all fantastic!
A sleeper here, but “Thunderbolt And Lightfoot” was an entertaining film.
Any film featuring an anti-aircraft gun and Jeff Bridges I’d watch.
Very fond memories of watching the any which way you can with my daughter. Where’s the monkey daddy. She just loved that monkey.
“Banana head”
Outlaw Josey Wales, then Unforgiven.
Reverse that.
BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY!!!!!!
HAHAHHAH!
Perfect.
“Play Misty For Me ” just nosed out as best ever…..
Toss up between The Outlaw Josey Wales and Unforgiven.
Plum mad dog mean or deserve has got nothing to do with it?
I choose plum mad dog mean.
ZFG, out.
So many great lines
Admin…did you get my email? Not sure if it worked.
Got it. That should keep us with questions for a long time.
😂 Ok, wasn’t sure if it went to junk.
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
See…in this world there are two kinds of people my friend, those with loaded guns, and those who dig.
Blondy
Kind of like some of us here on TBP. There are those with loaded guns, and those who think they have loaded guns.
And you just can’t beat the music from TGTBTU … Ennio Morricone’s music made the 3 spaghetti westerns as much as did Clint Eastwood’s characters … in fact, IIRC, music from each of the 3 was part of a Sunday Classics last year (2021) …
Admin put my choice of the theme song done by the Danish National Symphony Orchestra on Sunday classics, Thanks Jim. Here it is again….
It may have been easier to list your worst Clint movie, like…. Play Misty for me.
I was thinking that he had a lot of great movies and that one there is an exception. Another was the Gauntlet that was pretty crappy
The Gauntlet was dreck on stilts.
Drunken cop Ben Shockley somehow knows how to weld steel
plate to armor up a bus but forgets the engine is in the back.
LOLLL!
The police circular firing squad on the bus at the end still
makes me laugh out loud at it’s pure cinematic idiocy.
Dozens of cops would have killed each other.
And the awful albino, Sondra Locke just added to that steaming pile.
The worst Clint Eastwood film by far.
Not Paint Your Wagon?
They call the wind Mariah…..
…good one if you like baseball and Amy Adams with some classic clint thrown in there:
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. The music and cinematography in the closing showdown scene is one of the best.
Gran Torino
Hang ‘Em High and TG, TB & TU
Unforgiven
Reason:
Its theatrical, and realistic, rendering of righteous revenge
Favorite lines:
Little Bill Daggot (Gene Hackman): “You just shot an unarmed man!”
William Munny (Clint Eastwood): “Well, he should have armed himself if he’s going to decorate his saloon with my friend.”
Little Bill Daggot (Gene Hackman): “I don’t deserve to die like this!”
William Munny (Clint Eastwood): “Deserve’s got nothin’ to do with it.”
“I thought I was dead too, turns out I was just in Nebraska.”
Back to the Future III
“What kinda stoopid name is that?”
The Outlaw Josey Wales: the ultimate lesson on gubmint thugness, and the comeuppance of corrupt psychopath gubmint stooges, by a man who just wanted to be left alone
Best quote (from The Enforcer): “That’s mighty white of you” — said to Mustapha, the black gang leader
The Outlaw Josie Wales but also love The Eiger Sanction and Unforgiven, hard to choose one
You mean Clint I-love-Bloomberg Eastwood? I doubt I’ll watch another of his films ever.
Ha! Down votes, but no counter to the truth: Eastwood sold out the one man everyone who comes to this site supported. Come on, people; stop worshiping Hollywood stooges.
What-evs
A Fist Full Of Dollars
“Do ya feel lucky? Well do ya, Punk?
?
That line was from “Dirty Harry”
“I don’t think it’s nice, you laughin’. You see, my mule don’t like people laughing. He gets the crazyidea you’re laughin’ at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you’re going to, I might convince him that you really didn’t mean it.”
Too many great ones to pick a favorite but near the top of the greatest lines ever (from Josey Wales)
Wales: “You a bounty hunter?”
Gunslinger: “A mans got to do somethin for a livin’.”
Wales: “Dyin’ ain’t much of a livin’, boy.”
Pale Rider
I’ve got two kids in their 30’s; one of each. They were raised on Westerns to counteract the crap they watched all day.
Helped my daughter move a couple months back. She had a copy of many of Clint’s works. I was so proud ! !
We’re of the same mind: Jose Wales, Pale Rider and Kelly’s Heroes, in that order. She’s named after Megan from Pale Rider.
Sure as sh$t not Bridges of Madison county. Watched the whole damn movie and didn’t see a single bridge get blowed up!
Should have done a split screen with Kelly’s Heroes.
Gran Torino … (unless AP tells me I’m missing something).
Pale Rider…even a man of God will reach his limit
Magnum Force…a man’s got to know his limitations
Unforgiven…when he grabs that bottle of whiskey, you know it’s on
High Plains Drifter is the GOAT Clint movie! I do give The Outlaw Josey Wales as a close second.
Hands down, Gran Torino
The Good, The Bad And The Ugly
https://my.mail.ru/mail/sharkydodson/video/960/1723.html
the music is eteral.
My favorite is Outlaw Josie Wales and my favorite line is ” Shoot him now, Shoot him now Jeb” right before Jeb doesn’t shoot him and Josey kills them both.
Some sleepers.
Not great but solid films.
Coogan’s Bluff.
Two Mules For Sister Sara.
The Beguiled. (one of my favorites)
Thunderbolt And Lightfoot.
Oh, without a doubt GRAND TORINO.
Clint was robbed of a Best Picture academy award on that one.
Over 90 and still going strong.
It will be a sad, sad day for the motion picture industry when Clint leaves for the other side. The last real actor standing.
“Dyin’ is easy for men like you and me. It’s the livin’ that’s hard.”
-The Outlaw Josey Wales (Clint Eastwood), 1976
Unforgiven/Gran Torino. His character was not just one or two dimensional like in other movies. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly was fun, too. Most of his movies are good; I haven’t seen them all.
High Plains Drifter. The characters and the dialog.
