Default Favorite Clint Eastwood directed or acted movie?

Mr. Eastwood has directed and/or acted in many of my favorite movies. Which one do you like the best?

There are too many of these movies either directed or acted in by Clint Eastwood for me to make a poll.

Unforgiven is my choice. Really handles the affects of violence well as well as the limits of the law. Mystic River also for the same reasons.

My favorite is In the Line of Fire, where he plays someone I can relate to...old and tired!!

Great movie and John Malcovic is pure evil.

That's another good one. I did not care that much for Million Dollar Baby which I found a little too realistic even if the lead actress was extremely good in it.

Default Trouble with the Curve

Just saw the movie last night and really enjoyed every moment and the time went really quickly. Clint Eastwood did his grouchy old post rugged man well and Amy Adams was very convincing. Pleased to see that Justin Timberlake continues to grow as an actor and is taking on more roles. It was a good family, feel good movie without being soppy, and there is no gratuitous sex or violence. Not a Hope Springs, but that wasn't the intention. A most enjoyable night out.

Good to hear that. Like how Justin Timberlake has grown too. He was good in the flick In Time. Amy Adams is always very good in her movie roles.
