Best Clint Eastwood film ever.

Careful. He's only 79 so he may still be dangerous. :mrgreen:

I can't comment on many films mentioned. I can though present a critique on Fist Full of Dollars, which by coincidence I watched last night (I'm wading through 70 odd DVDs I was given).

In one word: crap
In two words: bloody crap
In three words: muchos bloody crap
In four words: A pile of crap
In five words: It couldn't be any crappier
In six words: . . . I'm sure you get the idea.

Without doubt it's Dirty Harry; the first film of the series. The others are all good too but the original is superb. Great story and sub-plots, the evil-in-camp-way bad guy, great one liners and the right amount of action/violence. Pure Gold.
You seen Gran Turino yet Hoss? It's a must.
Nope, not seen it yet.
Is it good then? Only the ads for it on the telly seemed to make it out to be a bit dull. If it's half a good as Dirty Harry though then I'll have to get out and see it.

I'm sorry guys.

You've missed the most obvious self parody in Coogan's Bluff and The Rookie.

My personal favourite is High Plains Drifter, though.

Just watched Changeling, Eastwood Directed, again an excellent film with Angelina Jolie acter her socks off. Well worth the Oscar nominations.

Right up there with his best films as a Director.
Depression is just a state of mind, supporting Bolton is also a state of mind hence supporting Bolton must be depressing QED

It's been mentioned already, but the good the bad and the ugly is an absolute belter too.

When I think of Angelina Jolie acting items of clothing off, I'd be a little disappointed to find it was her socks.

As a more modern film, I liked "In the line of fire" - but still Dirty Harry for me.

To be fair the bloke does'nt make bad films to often even Firefox is watchable.

My favourite though is the Outlaw Josey Wales. Very unHollywood ending but excellent as a result.

Gran Torino.....it's phenomenal! I loved every single minute of it and I was pretty disappointed it wasn't longer!

AWESOME!
