What's your favorite Eastwood flick? Why is it?

Sussudio · 02-09-2009, 01:20 AM

really liked Changeling, i just found it to be the most powerful of all the films I've seen him direct and regardless of what people say i thought Jolie did a phenomenal job. Dirty Harry comes in at a close second (but not so much because it's powerful

). i have a feeling once i see The Outlaw Josey Whales I'll change my mind though...

Oh I adored it, too. It should have gotten Oscar consideration. It was classical Hollywood form, on full display. I'm sad to say it's an ill-breed…. I think. But, feel free to correct me, please.

By the way, did you see Gran Torino (2008)? What did you think?

i did see gran torino, had very high hopes, but i came out of the theater thinking it was one of the worst Eastwood movies I've seen, namely as a result of the acting. i thought it had a good premise and script, but the way the dialogue was delivered was horrendous imo, especially the 2 hmong kids. i did some research of the movie and saw that most of the hmong were first time actors, and i applaud eastwood for choosing an authentic cast but i didn't think it strengthened the movie at all. eastwood himself seemed fairly stiff in the acting department, and many of his lines just made me cringe

Very, very hard to pick just one...Unforgiven!

Unforgiven is the best western movie ever made!
With Dirty Harry at a close second

I found it. One of the Best films of last year. Up there with Million Dollar Baby, truth be told. It require to 2 views to totally get it.

Darn it. We disagree totally again. The Indy 4 curse, I guess.

I found Torino grew with each viewing. Do you feel like Bill Murray yet?

I love so many of his films,but I'd have to say The Outlaw Josey Wales.Love the story and cinematography,and Eastwood's character has more depth than the western characters he'd portrayed up till then.
For basically the same reasons Unforgiven is right up there as well.

I agree totally about Jolie(and I've never been a huge fan of her's),she was fantastic,the most memorable part of this film in my opinion.

I did -- that's my favorite right there.

I'm going to have to go with "Play Misty for Me" (1971) I just remember Mr. Eastwood being so cool. What a great directorial debut to boot.

I love that movie. That gag, made me love it. Plus the film was perfect.

lobo81865 · 02-09-2009, 08:45 PM

Outlaw Josey Wales by far. One of the best westerns ever. Favorite part is when Josey asked the guy if he's a bounty hunter. The guy says a man has to make a living somehow, and Josey says "Dying ain't much of a living boy."

surfdude12 · 02-09-2009, 09:06 PM

unforgiven.

you can't touch that cast: Eastwood, Hackman, Freeman and Harris???

+1, followed by any of his Western movies second. Hollywood will never be able to recreate Eastwood's bad@$$ness in a western movie.
