Title: Fav Clint Eastwood movie?
Post by: xrtoronto on August 02, 2006, 02:11:54 PM: Just rented and watched 'The Gauntlet' and it made me think what would be the consensus on the favourite Eastwood movie.

I really like Sondra Locke (in the gauntlet) but it is not one of my favourite Eastwood movies.

I think I would have to go with UNFORGIVEN as my all time favourite movie by him. He has made allot of really good movies, but UNFORGIVEN tops the list for me.

Second choice would have to be 'The Good, The Bad and the Ugly'.

How about you?

"The Guns of Navarrone" is a Gregory Peck movie, Eastwood wasn't in it. He wasn't in the "sequel" either.

Perhaps you mean "Where Eagles Dare", with Eastwood and Richard Burton.

The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.

I would have listed that, but it's in a whole catagory all it's own in my mind. A masterpiece of cinema (even with the spaghetti) featuring Clint Eastwood :) Just watched it again a few months ago and it's held up very well.

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.

Some of his early work still plays well today.

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....

Post by: Sandman on August 03, 2006, 12:28:31 AM: 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.

Post by: Debonair on August 03, 2006, 01:34:53 AM: 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
