Favorite Clint Eastwood movie?
 
My favorite of his is Unforgiven. Recall my parents had seen it in Chicagoland or some other point East of California and suggested I go see it while I was catching up with them on the phone.

I have been watching Dirty Harry but took a little break from it. I will get back soon though.

I’d go with the good/bad/ugly. It’s long but epic. After that I loved High Plains Drifter growing up.

Favorite Clint Eastwood movie?

Any one of them before he turn 60 years of age.
After that, he looked like warm-over death.

Yup. I used to get the 2 movies mixed up because the names and his sort of ghostly image in both movies. I had a thing for that young girl in Pale Rider when I was a kid.

Taltarzac725 05-31-2024 03:24 PM

The Outlaw Josey Wales.
 
The Outlaw Josey Wales was excellent. Think I heard about it from my parents when they were visiting relatives on Cape Cod.

It's not even a close race:

"Outlaw Josie Wales" is the best all time.

“Trouble with the Curve” because I was an extra in that movie. We filmed at the old Turner Field in Atlanta and I was sitting behind Clint in the stadium scene. He was such a gentleman and very nice to the background actors.

"Did i fire 6 shots or only 5?" But being this a 44 magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off... you've got to ask yourself a question.. Do i feel lucky?"

"A Fistful of Dollars"

I bought a poster of Clint's character and had it on my college wall. Weird, I know.

Hard to choose a favorite western-love them all. So I will choose the civil war movie The Beguiled from 1971. Offbeat and so different from most of his movies.

PugMom 06-01-2024 08:27 AM

this is a wonderful thread that will live on!! i'm a huge fan, seen them all, and most enjoyed would be SuddenImpact, 2Mules for Sister Sara, and believe it or not, Bronco Billy. oh, and the Enforcer, Unforgiven is a classic like Josey Wales
:pepper2:

If you never seen how the orchestra did the theme for the good and bad the ugly you’ve got to watch this! It’s amazing, especially how good that lady whistles

Two of my favorites, Clint Eastwood and Lee Marvin.

Produced, directed and starred in it. Great range ...as the beautiful people like to say...

The Good, the BAD, and the UGLY. Movies so good that they made 3 of them.

Surprised Escape from Alcatraz escaped (no pun intended) the faves so far. I guess that’s my second choice

That was very good, and as you say, the lady whistler was brilliant.
They even had someone hanging from the ceiling.

From Actor to Director, Clint Eastwood had an incredible run. Perhaps GOAT. It’s difficult to pick just one movie. The Outlaw Josey Wales if you have to pick one but there were at least three others just as good IMHO.
