Clint Eastwood fans - What was his best movie?

[Screaming Lord Bob]

Dear non-Clint fans,
You don't get to vote. Too bad. ;)

[Burma Jones]

1. Fistful of Dollars.......n/t

[Screaming Lord Bob]

2. oh, yes...

this should have been on the list too - but I ran out of room.
(and I felt I had to add "Bridges" for the non-spaghetti western crowd...)

[el_gato]

40. but you only have 1 spaghetti western in this list

this poll is rigged!

[kick-ass-bob]

41. I did have 2, but no one voted for one so I replaced it with something els

[kick-ass-bob]

42. Hey! I just realized I can vote twice!

[Zomby Woof]

3. Unforgiven

Although a special vote for "Bird" is in order, a directorial effort he did not star in... a fantastic portrait of Charlie Parker.

[Screaming Lord Bob]

4. Did Forest Whitaker win anything for that?

[Zomby Woof]

20. I'll have to look it up

He SHOULD have, if he didn't.

[Kahuna]

25. So you mean Morgan freeman? I don't recall Whitaker being

in, "The Unforgiven." :shrug:

[Richardo]

26. I think they branched off to talk about Whitaker in "Bird"

;-)

[Screaming Lord Bob]

29. yes - sorry we branched off...

[TX-RAT]

7. Damn right.

You just shot a unarmed man. " He should have armed himself". My favorite line.

[Zomby Woof]

14. don't forget the rest of that line

"...before you decided to use my friend to decorate the front of your saloon."

A very realistic depiction of violence begetting more violence, and its consequences, unintended or not.

[TX-RAT]

21. My apologies to Mr Eastwood.

[Lautremont]

5. I like that Chief Dan George quote from

"The Outlaw Josie Wales": "I myself never surrendered. But they caught my horse, and he surrendered."

[Screaming Lord Bob]

8. I love that guy!!

I need to watch that one again!

[Zomby Woof]

16. The Chief rocked!

He did quite a few movies, and was a natural. Never acted until his older years. From Vancouver BC, I recall.

[Richardo]

17. "Endeavor...to persevere"

"We thought about it for a long time, "Endeavor to persevere." And when we had thought about it long enough, we declared war on the Union. "

Chief Dan George was great!

[Richardo]

6. I liked "Blood Work" a LOT...

...but then I like Michael Connelly books anyway...

[kcwayne]

9. The Good, the Bad, the Ugly

it is the essence of Clint Eastwood's characters

[Screaming Lord Bob]

11. dammit!

We need more than 10 slots on a poll like this!!!

Oooo-wee-oo-wee-ooohhh
wahh-WAAH-wuh

[Screaming Lord Bob]

13. Dropping Hang em high for Good Bad & Ugly...

[peekaloo]

10. 'Play Misty for Me'

[Wat_Tyler]

18. I'll go for that.

[Screaming Lord Bob]

23. I changed Escape from Alcatraz to Misty

if its not too late...

[Wat_Tyler]

24. Thanks, SLB.

[Screaming Lord Bob]

27. Boy, that was weird looking... (SLB)

:)

[Wat_Tyler]

34. No problem, SLB.

[Zomby Woof]

19. That's a great one!

And shows you just how BAD a pale imitation Fatal Attraction and other psycho-stalker movies are.

[troublemaker]

12. THE BEGUILED, dammit!

[Kahuna]

22. Oh hell yeah. That was a good movie.

:thumbsup: Could it be because I'm a dame, I enjoyed seeing a man get is just desserts? I wonder. :7

[Screaming Lord Bob]

30. that was no good.

Clint died.
You can't kill Clint and have it be good...
:silly:

[TX-RAT]

15. How about Paint your Wagon?

[Screaming Lord Bob]

33. Is that the one where they pan for gold in the hills?

I can't remember what this one was about...

[TX-RAT]

35. Yes

Eastwood had a singing part.
Lee Marvin sang " I was born a wandering star".

[Screaming Lord Bob]

37. I must have blocked the singing part out...

the one where he goes and blows up the strip mining place and rescues the girl? He sang in that???

[skygazer]

43. No, no

That was Pale Rider, which was very strange. Kind of a mother/daughter fetish with Clint in that one.

Paint Your Wagon was the one in which he and Lee Marvin were married to the same woman - kind of reverse Mormanism. And, yes, it was a musical Western. Rather surreal.

Kind of like the one in which John Wayne sang - can't remember the name of that one.

[kick-ass-bob]

44. oh - ok. That's right - I forgot the details.

I remember both now...

[Minstrel Boy]

28. High Plains Drifter,

because of the midget. (There was a midget, right?)

I loved the judgement the "mysterious drifter" meeted out to both the killers of the sheriff, and to the townsfolk who hadn't intervened.

Getting them to paint the town red and rename it "Hell" before the final showdown - damn cool.

[Screaming Lord Bob]

31. yes - the midget who then became sheriff.

I love the looks on peoples faces when he tells them to paint it red..

[Wilber_Stool]

32. Bronco Billy

Have you ever been married, Bronco Billy?
Yep.
What happened?
I caught her in bed with my best friend.
What did you do?
I shot her.
You shot HER?
Well, he was my best friend.

[Rambis]

36. The Outlaw Josie Wales

There's another saying, Senator: Don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining.

I have used this line about trickle down economics for years.

[Screaming Lord Bob]

38. forgot that line - I remeber now...

I will have to incorporate that into everyday life!!

[Blue_Tires]

39. Mangum Force!! (i accidentally voted 'other')

[lpbk2713]

45. I voted "Unforgiven" but there are others.

"In the Line of Fire" was good too not only because of Eastwood but because Malkovitch played such a good badguy. There was another one I liked but I can't recall the title. The one where he was a reporter trying to save a man on death row right up to the very last minute.

[kick-ass-bob]

46. True Crime? I think that's it...

[Beaverhausen]

47. A Perfect World

also some of Kevin Costner's best work

I do also LOVE Unforgiven and Play Misty for Me

[VOX]

48. The Outlaw Josey Wales has a terrific script: "Buzzards gotta eat..."

"same as worms." I have seen this movie more times than I can count, and it is terrific.

Unforgiven is a stunner, however. It's a very dark, disturbing film. The performances are all top-notch, with Gene Hackman making a memorable villain.
