Did you know that Clint Eastwood wore a girdle during most of his movies?

All of his westerns are awesome, a few of my favorites have to be High Plains Drifter, Outlaw Josie Wales, and The Dollar series. Clint was the man, shit even in the unforgiven at his age he was a badass.

I'm a fan, nearly every western he ever made, especially those he made with Sergio Leone. Unforgiven is also fantastic. :thumbsup:

 

[Sicario]

I could watch The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly a million more times and never get bored with it.

Clint is an ICON.

I like Clint Eastwood and think his western movies are ok. As long as people don't expect historical accuracy from the time period it's supposed to be taking place in and remember they are movies so some situations are kind of too ridiculous to happen in real life like that then they are alright. The biggest problems I have in Westerns, especially some of the old ones is that the movie can drag on at some points, and I'm not just talking about lack of action but sometimes it seems the plot also isn't going anywhere.

Always been a fan of westerns.Clint ones are ok especially Good bad and the ugly.
I will recommend one (not a clint one though) not that well known that I really like starring Kirk Douglas named "man without a star".

 

[tartanterrier]

Clint's Westerns were the only ones I enjoyed.I think his movies will live forever

Has anyone ever seen any of Sergio Leones other westerns, the ones without Clint.
Like A Fistful of Dynamite or others, I wonder how good those were compared to the ones with Clint.

Once Upon A Time In The West - Brilliant film :thumbsup: It might just be better than the Dollar's Trilogy ...

Opening scene

Right now on TCM is maybe the greatest western ever "Shane".:thumbsup:

You should watch the original move that it was taken from then; The Seven Samurai. It's fucking long as fuck though.

Oh, and Clint Eastwood is a shitty actor. I just thought I'd throw that out there.

Clint is like having turkey and ham during Easter.

the only movie that Henry Fonda played a bad guy was Once Upon a Time in the West which is arguably the greatest western of all time. Personally like My Name is Nobody because of the interplay of humor and drama and legend. Sergio Leone was the best western director of all time. Clint proved he learned from him in Unforgiven.

Best Westerns of all time imho in very arguable order:

1. My Name is Nobody
2. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
3. Once Upon a Time in the West
4. Unforgiven
5. For a Few Dollars More
6. Shane

I've been meaning to rent that, but I never really watch movies. It's on my Netflix cue, if I ever start going through it again. It's an Akira Kurosawa film, isn't it?

And after that see Rashomon, by the same director (Akira Kurosawa) but in my opinion a superior movie :hatsoff:

I like Clint, im a fan. The last two spagetti westerns done by leone with clint ("for a few dollars more" and "the good, the bad, and the ugly") blew me away (the music was wonderful too). It was unlike any western(s) I'd seen before..... Later i'd learn that Sergio Leone and clint didn't get along, and when he made "Once a time in the west" he said "finally i have money and proper actors (Peter Fonda and Charles Bronson) to make a real film" I was stunned, because, although the opening scene is good. It didn't live up to the movies he did with Eastwood.
