The Official Clint Eastwood Thread. - Blu-ray Forum

Lord_Stewie · 01-06-2010, 11:36 PM

Hey Guys,

This thread is dedicated to the Awesomeness of Clint Eastwood. Here discuss your likes/dislikes/ and everything you would like to see Eastwood do.

Name your top 3 Clint Eastwood movies.
Is he past his prime, or he is still on a roll.
What is his best role ever.
Is he a better Director, or a better actor, or both.

You don't have to answer/discuss all points for they are a mere examples of what you could discuss.

Enjoy.

I find him to be one of the best directors. Mystic River was purely a classic.

Guys, Also feel free to sport Any Clint Eastwood AV just to honor him, until 11pm tomorrow.

Gran Torino! GET OFF MY THREAD!

Really liked Unforgiven
haven't seen Invictus yet.

Q? · 01-06-2010, 11:41 PM

Gran Torino and The Good The Bad and the Ugly are two fantastic movies.

gvortex7 · 01-06-2010, 11:41 PM

The man is a legend.

Here are my choices for top 3 movies he acted in:

1. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
2. In the Line of Fire
3. Absolute Power

Top 3 movies he directed:

1. Letters from Iwo Jima
2. Unforgiven
3. Million Dollar Baby

I believe he is still going strong. I take my hat off to anyone who still keeps creating such great art at his age. Go Clint! Never stop making movies bud.

cynatnite · 01-06-2010, 11:41 PM

I like him now much more now. In fact, I don't care much for any of his early stuff...especially the westerns. I do like a few of his Dirty Harry movies.

Gran Torino and Million Dollar Baby will always be my favorites. As a director and actor, he was just brilliant.

He has a wonderful body of work that can't be beat, but Million Dollar Baby and Gran Torino are top drawer.

GORT · 01-06-2010, 11:42 PM

Dirty Harry
Firefox
High Plains Drifter

LordCrumb · 01-06-2010, 11:44 PM

Lord_Stewie · 01-06-2010, 11:44 PM

1. Million Dollar Baby.
2. Mystic River.
3. The Good the bad and the ugly.
4. Grand Torino.

All are Awesome.

progers13 · 01-06-2010, 11:45 PM

I will probably be in the minority here, but I haven't really cared for any of the movies he's directed.

Just MHO.

But I love the movies he's acted in, with Dirty Harry being my personal favorite.

LordCrumb · 01-06-2010, 11:45 PM

Top 3:
*Unforgiven
*Good The Bad The Ugly
*Gran Torino

No where near the end of his career hopefully, hes still got it.

Gran Torino.

Equal in talent for both acting and directing.

gvortex7 · 01-06-2010, 11:48 PM

Anyone has seen Invictus yet? How is it?

Q? · 01-06-2010, 11:50 PM

Do any of you guys know which version of The Good The Bad and the Ugly is the best?
Thanks..

Lord_Stewie · 01-06-2010, 11:50 PM

Wanted to see that movie. I heard its awesome. I think i will catch it sometime later this week.

As for the good, the bad and the ugly I always thought there was one version of the release.

Q? · 01-06-2010, 11:53 PM

Somehow I had the impression there are two diff releases...

Duffy12 · 01-06-2010, 11:55 PM

- Kelly's Heroes
- Magnum Force
- The Good the Bad and the Ugly

fletchlives · 01-06-2010, 11:55 PM

Gotta love Clint. Damn near everything he's done has been at it's worst better than the average movie out there on up to brilliant. Some of my favorites are In the Line of Fire, Heartbreak Ridge, and the Dirty Harry movies.
