heartbreak ridge

 

all of the dirty harry movies

[gotbeer]

How is the Every Which Way franchise not getting any love?

 

Right turn Clyde.

[Lou]

I would have to say Unforgiven as well.

 

 

But honorable mentions to High Plains Drifter, Outlaw Josey Wales, and Play Misty for Me.

 

 

 

I'm assuming we're sticking to Clint Eastwood directed movies, right?

 

 

If not, then The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly and For a Few Dollars More would likely top the list, as well others like Escape from Alcatraz and Dirty Harry.

 

 

nailed it

Adjusted for inflation, Any Which Way But Loose was his top grossing film.

 

By far

Right turn Clyde.

His resume is quite impressive.  Both on the acting end, and the directing end.  Directing end, you know you have chops when you can direct both sides of a war film.  With one side being in a totally different language, and you get a best picture nomination out of it.  

 

As an actor, think I liked the Good, the Bad and the Ugly the most.  Those spaghetti westerns were something.  Directing, Million Dollar Baby.  

 

 

i love spaghetti westerns

Yeah, those man with no name flicks were great. Super iconic. That squint, tbe serape, the swagger. He was perfectly cast.

Flags of our fathers was good, a little campy in some ways (didnt like ryan phillipe but thats just me), but letters from iwo jima i liked a lot. Good point on directing both, Lou. That is impressive.

Since my screen name comes from one of his movies I guess that says something. I like the westerns more than the Dirty Harry movies but the cool character with the squint and the low volume voice works great for those characters. My favorites would be either Unforgiven or The Good, The Bad and the Ugly although I think Eli Wallach is what really made that movie for me.

Speaking as someone who was in the military, Heartbreak Ridge was unbearably stupid.

[ten ocho recon scout]

Yeah, heartbreak ridge was pretty bad. But i can see why people like it. I like clint in it.

Its like gran torino. He was great, everyone else in it was real bad.

My mom had the soundtrack to that movie and played it quite often, and as a kid I loved it. I used to be able to sing all of the songs on it by memory.

[Section517]

I'm a little late to this thread.

 

Unforgiven is my favorite Eastwood movie, and it's my favorite Western movie.

i like this song so much, i tracked it down and bought it on iTunes. sadly, iTunes didn't list it as being from lee marvin in paint your wagon, so i have a different version. thanks to this thread, that has been corrected with the proper song. thank you.

Honorable mention to Kelly's Heroes. Donald Sutherland stole the show but that's because he's Donald f*****g Sutherland.

Love that movie. Still the coolest opening scene of any movie, ever.
