Clint's the best.
Ever since I crept into a Brittany Ferries' showing of Outlaw Josey Wales when I was 9 or 10 I was hooked. In fact, I'd take a lousy Clint (Joe Kidd, Heartbreak Ridge, Bronco Billy) over almost anything else.
Here's my current top five:
Outlaw Josey Wales
For A Few Dollars More
In The Line Of Fire
Billion Dollar Baby
Honkytonk Man (yes, I know, but I love it).
If you're with me... what's your top five?
Good bad ugly
Unforgiven
Dirty Harry
Where Eagles Dare
Fort Apache
She Wore a Yellow Ribbon
Sands of Iwo Jima
Rio Grande
The Green Berets
unforgiven
pale rider
any which way but loose
outlaw josey wales
fistful of dollars
whats wrong with Heartbreak ridge? it's hillarious.
Gran Torino!
Always a fan, was a bit cheesy for a while but Gran Torino brought it home
Gran torino is ace!
Unforgiven
Outlaw Josey Wales
Firefox
Play Misty for me
Dirty Harry
Thunderbolt and Lightfoot FTW
Coogans Bluff
The Good the Bad and the Ugly
Kelly's Heros
Firefox
My mrs' top 5:
1. Dirty Harry (all time fav' film)
2. In the line of fire
3. Thunderbolt and Lightfoot
4. The Beguiled.
5. Bridges of Madison County.
All of anything he's ever been involved in.
He's a great director IMO, his work is often subtle and has a crafted feel to it.
High plains drifter
Kellys heroes
Thunderbolt and lightfoot
Outlaw josey wales
Pale rider
Dirty Harry
Magnum Force
For A Fistful of Dollars
Gran Torino
True Crime
Play Misty for Me is easily the best of the non westerns
Pale Riders my fav though

I remember when I was about 8-9 sitting down with my brother & uncle and watching 'Dirty Harry' and for weeks afterwards my uncle would come out with all the classic chat from it. It was fantastic, the TV series Chips was new to tv then so I was really into Cops and Bad guys.
Dirty Harry
Unforgiven
Where Eagles Dare
Gran Torino
Million Dollar Baby
Looking at them all a Top Five is quite hard
Paint your Wagon?

Clint's the best.
Agreed very talented actor singer songwriter director and a half decent politician as i recall, but what is of far more import...
What happened to the 'big hitters'
How come the demotion
Where did they all go?
Edit, oh nearly forgot, top five hmm tricky.
I guess Unforgiven has to be up there.
Good Bad & Ugly
Dirty Harry
Jose Wales
Every Which Way...
No such thing as a top 5 Clint Eastwood film list there all too good.
Dirty Harry and Magnum Force are right up there
As is Eiger Sanction
And Unforgiven is one of my fav films of all time Gene Hackman is just brill, as is English Bob. :oD
Saw a fistfu of dollars in the mid 70's and was hooked! My top 5:
The good the bad etc
Fistful of dollars
For a few dollars more
Dirty Harry
Magnum Force
Oh yes. I do like a real man. 8)
Okay, I totally get Thunderbolt and Lightfoot being on the list. That's a damn cool movie. Same goes for Gran Torino, Eiger Sanction, Play Misty and Coogan's Bluff.
But Firefox? And Paint Your Wagon? 😕
Ouch.
The Outlaw Josey Wales
Gran Torino
Unforgiven
Kelly's Heroes
The Eiger Sanction
Dirty Harry
Magnum Force
Good the Bad and the Ugly
For a Few Dollars More (if only for the pocket watch scene at the end)
Gran Torino is up there as well.
Billion Dollar baby?!?! And you say your a fan?!
That aside...
1. Dirty Harry
2. The Outlaw Josey Wales
3. Unforgiven
4. Thunderbolt and Lightfoot
5. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
Billion Dollar baby?!?! And you say your a fan?!
Hey! 👿 I stand by my choice!
Having said that I might replace it with High Plains Drifter... now that's a great film.
Too many choices...
I'll slip in the TV series 'Rawhide' from the 60s
No one has mentioned Coogan's Bluff

Not to forget Coogans Bluff.
And Where Eagles Dare.
Oh, The Beguiled.
Dang it. In The Line Of Fire.
And not forgetting this scene...
Love it!
A few have mentioned Coogans Bluff.
Unforgiven
Josey Wales
Magnum Force
High Plains Drifter vs Pale rider - I think i'll take the 'Shane' one.
The Gauntlet ?
Josey Wales - La creme de la creme
ThunderBolt & Lightfoot.
Gran Torino
Play Misty for me
The Eiger Sanction
Perfecto!
his older stuff, the westerns
Gran Torino is rubbish
The term 'whattaguy' never seemed more apt.
When Clint croaks i'll genuinely have to take time off work to mourn as i'll be a blubbering wreck. No doubt ill croak first though, as he has an air of immortal about him.
Legend.
The epitome of cool ... and a ruggedly handsome ****er in his day too!

Still think The Good The Bad and The Ugly is the best film ever made.
Thanks spacemonkey. 😀
I'll sleep well tonight. 😉
I can now rest too CG knowing that my work is done for today 😉
“These people who are making a big deal out of gay marriage? I don’t give a **** about who wants to get married to anybody else! Why not?! We’re making a big deal out of things we shouldn’t be making a deal out of. They go on and on with all this bullshit about ‘sanctity’ — don’t give me that sanctity crap! Just give everybody the chance to have the life they want.” — Clint Eastwood in the October issue of GQ magazine
Not a huge Clint fan but he has made some GREAT movies.
His best westerns aren't 'just' westerns which is what makes them great.
Unforgiven - astonishing film even ignoring genre.
Pale Rider - best 'traditional' western ever made?
(pretty much the same classic western story film deconstructed in two different ways for different contexts - could probably group The Outlaw Josey Wales in with these too)
Dirty Harry - pretty much defined cop films for the next 20 years?
Then we get to the guilty pleasures.
Firefox - as a kid seemed like Star Wars set on earth to me.
Every Which Way But Loose - just plain fun.
