Dirty Harry

Westerns take up my top five, which suggests to me I should have a non-Western top five. But the top five are in this order:

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
High Plains Drifter
The Outlaw Josey Wales
For a Few Dollars More
Pale Rider and Fistful of Dollars tie for fifth

 

Man there are so many to choose from. Reading through this thread reminded me of some I haven't thought of in a while which I need to revisit.

Favorites:
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
Unforgiven
The Outlaw Josey Wales
Magnum Force
Heartbreak Ridge

Didn't see The Dead Pool in anyone's lists...huh...

 

Dirty Harry
In the Line of Fire
Pale Rider
Unforgiven
Where Eagles Dare

 

Dirty Harry
Unforgiven
Where Eagles Dare
Pale Rider
The Outlaw Josey Wales

...plus an honorable mention for his score for Grace Is Gone, the first time he composed a score he had no writing, appearing or directing in, 2007.
Nominated for two Golden Globes, the latter shared with lyricist Carole Bayer Sager; one lost out to Atonement by Dario Marianelli (for Score) and one to Eddie Vedder's Guaranteed from Into The Wild (for Song).

 

Escape From Alcatraz
The Gauntlet
The Good, The Bad & The Ugly
Thunderbolt & Lightfoot
The Enforcer

 

Do you know what movies haven't been mentioned in this thread? Blood Work and True Crime. I suppose they belong in a 'worst of' thread.

 

Definitely one of the lulls in his career, but nowhere near the worst IMO. Blood Work in particular was pretty good.

 

I think the only Clint Eastwood movie I have seen is Escape From Alcatraz but I think it is a great movie!!

 

Heartbreak Ridge
Escape From Alcatraz
Grand Torino
Kelly's Heroes
Dirty Harry (This includes all Dirty Harry movies since they are all connected by one subject.)

 

I have only one: The Good The Bad And The Ugly

 

Man, this is tough, I celebrate Eastwood's entire catalog, so my Fav 5 are always changing - but, here's my $0.02 for now:

1. The Good, the Bad, & the Ugly (3-way gunfight at the end with that music - yes!)
2. For a Few Dollars More (I enjoy the story in this one more than GBU)
3. Gran Torino (old, grumpy Clint is always entertaining)
4. Firefox (watched this countless times on cable back in the day)
5. Any Which Way You Can ("Right turn Clyde!")

 

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Where Eagles Dare
Dirty Harry
Escape From Alcatraz
Unforgiven

 

Two Mules for Sister Sara
Unforgiven
Million Dollar Baby
Gran Torino
In the Line of Fire

 

High Plains Drifter
Dirty Harry
A Fistful Of Dollars
For A Few Dollars More
Where Eagles Dare

Haven't seen that many others but those five stand out....

 

Firefox ?
Remember seeing a advertisement poster for this film. Looked very James Bond, modern in 1982.

 

Dirty Harry
The Good, the Bad & the Ugly
The Outlaw Josey Wales
Escape from Alcatraz
Play Misty For Me

 

Way too many to name.

Ones I always watch when they're on:

The Eiger Sanction
Escape From Alcatraz
A Perfect World
Firefox
Unforgiven

This doesn't even get to other greats like Bridges of Madison County, Outlaw Josey Wales, Bronco Billy, Honkytonk Man, etc.

He's a great director but I think that he lost it (for the most part) in the 2000's. I despise Flags Of Our Fathers, Mystic River, Million Dollar Baby (though I did like Letters From Iwo Jima)

 

I honestly can't choose just five. Even the ones that I wouldn't
watch over and over (Million Dollar Baby comes to mind) were
still masterful films for the most part.
