The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly is my favourite,I actually think the spaghetti westerns were great :).

I've seen every Clint movie there is probably several times. For me, Unforgiven is his best followed closely by The Outlaw Josey Wales and High Plains Drifter.

Anybody remember one of his WWII movies called Kelly's Heroes? That was another great movie.

that song at the end of Kelly's Heroes is catchy too.

Anyone remember "Where Eagles Dare" I like that flick too. The Eiger Sanction is another good, less known Clint movie.

I would have to say that Kelly's Heros is the best Eastwood movie over all. I love that flick :)

It's WALES you F-tards!

btw, the "man with no name" concept is a bit of a misnomer. He has a name in all of those movies except (i think) High Plains Drifter.

"You know, I never did catch your name..."

"You know what it is..."

classic

You HAVE to be kidding. It's entertaining, but it lacks the power of Unforgiven and the classic nature of the Dirty Harry and "Man with No Name" characters...

It is a great movie though...

edit - it might be Donald Sutherland's best movie though... ;)
