lucky!! I went there too back in 1991 and he was away filming UNFORGIVEN.
I talked to a bartender there for awhile and he had a few Clint stories (he probably needed to for tourists!) to tell...

1. The Good, the Bad & the Ugly

2. Unforgiven

3. Gran Torino

i wonder if anyone else has ever been the main star and directed a film at age 78. i told my dad this (age 65) after he watched gran torino and he looked at me like this -->

partly out of shock and partly b/c he has no more excuses to stop achieving things and whine about gettin old

clint is the effin man

Totally worth it, imo.

AKORIS · 01-07-2010, 02:17 AM

Clint's best acting--

Unforgiven
In The Line Of Fire
Million Dollar Baby
Gran Torino

Clint at his coolest--

The Dirty Harry series

Clint's best directing--

Play Misty For Me
Pale Rider
High Plains Drifter
pretty much everything from Unforgiven onward...

toef · 01-07-2010, 02:24 AM

I want to see him act one more time, because I don't want Gran Torino to be the way he goes out as an actor.

His next directorial work, Hereafter, sounds like it could be interesting. Hopefully it makes up for his recent string of bad ones (Invictus and Gran Torino... Changeling I actually liked but it was still nowhere near ones like Mystic River and Million Dollar Baby).

supersix4 · 01-07-2010, 02:45 AM

In the Line of Fire he was clutch.

Canada · 01-07-2010, 03:21 AM

Directing

Letters From Iwo Jima
Unforgiven

Since Flags was based mainly on the Marines, many Marines that I talked with hated the film. After seeing it, I had no intention of seeing Letters. It was all in subtitles and was about the Japanese...took me a good year to finally see it but what a great film..

juanell · 01-07-2010, 04:09 AM

Play misty for me
Dirty harry
High plains drifter
Outlaw Josey Wales
Pale Rider
Unforgiven

jhiggy23 · 01-07-2010, 04:28 AM

He is a MUCH better director than actor. As an actor, he is completely one-dimensional, but he does deserve his status as an American film icon. As a director, he is very consistent, although arguably his most lauded film, Unforgiven, is one of the most overrated films of all-time to me.

His two best films that he directed are Mystic River, which is just excellent (can't wait for the blu in Feb), and Changeling, which is very underrated.

His best directing job is Letters from Iwo Jima.

QuasidodoJr · 01-07-2010, 08:27 AM

My Top 3 Favorite Films - Acting Performance:
1. High Plains Drifter
2. Unforgiven
3. Heartbreak Ridge

My Top 3 Favorite Films - Directing:
1. The Outlaw Josey Wales
2. A Perfect World
3. Letters from Iwo Jima

And the man has definitely still got it. I'd buy just about any Eastwood film put on blu.
