Greatest movie ever made.

I thought "A fistfull of dollars" was the best of the three, though "for a few dollars more" had the most potential. By the time "The good the bad and the ugly came out" they were running a bit long, and couldn't sustain the plot. Maybe I just like shorter movies lol. Anyone else think that GBU was the least perfect of the three?

Though I think I liked the Original "Dirty Harry" more.

Is there a bad Clint Eastwood film? If there is, I ain't seen it.

I noticed nobody has mentioned "Paint Your Wagon". That film is a masterpiece.

I almost listed that one ... hear Clint sing ... or pretend to.

Some of his early work still plays well today.

Coogans Buff - Pilot movie for the Mc Cloud tv series.
Play Misty For Me
The Beguiled
Breezy
Joe Kidd

Clint will rank as one of the all time greats in moviedom.

Unfortunately there are:

Space Cowboys
The Rookie
City Heat
And anything pairing Clint with an Orangutan

But Paint Your Wagon is one of my favorites, as a kid I was always singing the songs from that one. Susanna go ahead and cry....

"Is they dead?"
"They better be, cause I'm gonna bury 'em!"

I wouldn't say that his role in Million Dollar Baby was his best performance as an actor, but as a director, he nailed it.

As far as westerns go... I think Open Range is probably one of the best... but what can I say. I'm full of man-love for Robert Duvall.

FUNKED1 · « **Reply #41 on:** August 03, 2006, 12:34:53 AM »

The man-with-no-name trilogy.

FUNKED1 · « **Reply #42 on:** August 03, 2006, 12:35:28 AM »

Duvall rocks. Especially the Zoetrope pictures.

I have to disagree Seagoon. While they may be his lowest ranked, they are still entertaining and profitable films. I enjoyed all of the ones listed, including those with Clyde.

a couple on this list already are among my favorite flicks, Kelly's Heros & The Good, The Bad & the Ugly, but having seen them a number of times i noticed that Eastwood wasn't really that good in either of them, seems to have done little more than read his lines & in The Good, The Bad & the Ugly, stood there looking good while the great music played. The Good, The Bad & the Ugly was a work of genius by Eli Wallach & Lee Van Cleef...Kelly's Heros was made great by Donal Sutherland & whatshisname, the bald guy that played "crap game".
OTOH, White Hunter, Black Heart was a great movie starring & directed by Clint Eastwood
