Just saw an older movie, it was great!

[BIRD67]

Last Thursday, I stayed up until 1:30 in the morning watching a movie called 'A Perfect World' , if you haven't seen this movie you are missing out! Clint Eastwood is in it, but he is not the main character, and I think that's what makesa the movie so different.. It thakes place around 1965 I believe and it was really touching, however the ending is somewhat expected, but it is still sad enough to bring a tear or two.. If you haven't seen this movie you are really missing out! There is a good amount of cars used in the movie and the cop cars usually consist of 1962 Plymouths and Chevrolets..

[Charger_Fan]

Of course it's a good movie, Clint's in it!
Yes I'm a fan, I'll spare you the guesswork.

[BIRD67]

I agree! If there was anybody in the world I could meet, it would be him, he's such a badass!

[mikepmcs]

If you hadn't seen perfect world, then I'm guessing you haven't seen quite a few more Clint movies that need to be watched immediately.  With the exception of Bronco Billy(and that really wasn't that bad), everything the man does is mint!

Here is your mandatory watch list to be completed at your leisure.  

Blood Work, Hang Em High, The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, High Plains Drifter, Coogans Bluff, The Beguiled, Absolute Power, In the Line of Fire, The Rookie, Unforgiven,Where Eagles Dare, Kelly's Heroes, Play Misty For Me, The Eiger Sanction, The Outlaw Josey Wales, Escape From Alcatraz, The Gauntlet, ....I could go on all day but this should get you through the weekend.

Report back and I'll give you some more.

Hello Mike, I have seen all of the Dirty Harry movies, Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, Gran Torino, A Perfect World, Escape from Alcatraz, The Good the Bad and The Ugly, Hang 'em High...I could probably list more but I'm a lazy SOB Everything he does is just amazing!

[MoparSam]

Definitely don't forget about Palerider. I think it's one of the best of Clint's westerns.

[Shakey]

What about the Bridges of Madison County?   

[Silver R/T]

His last movie -- Gran Torino is definitely a must see

I can't believe you didn't list any of his "Dirty Harry" series   Just watched Dirty Harry on TV last night.  It "Made My Day"  PUNK!!

[mikepmcs]

I figured those were a requirement just being a member of the human race,  so I didn't think I needed to mention them.

[John_Kunkel]

Definitely don't forget about Palerider. I think it's one of the best of Clint's westerns.

Agreed, watch it and then right after that watch Shane with Alan Ladd.

[dkn1997]

The gauntlet was such a good movie. 

everyone loves to quote "go ahead, make my day" but one of my favorite all time dirty harry lines is right before that when he surprises them and tells them to drop their guns   "wer'e not just gonna let you walk outta here" of course they ask "who's we?" classic response:  "smith, wesson....and me" 

[mikepmcs]

Yup that's a classic line as well.  "Go ahead make my day" is actually in the top 100 quotes of all time(top 10 actually).  It was said in Sudden Impact when Harry goes into the diner to get a coffee.  It gets held up, he dispatches all but one of the robbers and the robber takes the waitress hostage and threatens to shoot her.  Harry points the .44 magnum right in the guys face and says the now famous line "Go ahead, make my day"

He says it again at the end of the movie as well but slightly changed to "come on, make my day"

There is a law that is called the "make my day law" and it protects people when they use deadly force when someone enters their home, etc.....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Make_My_Day_Law

One of my all time favorite DH lines comes from the movie "Dirty Harry"

I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

Clint Eastwood is a god and I hope he lives forever!

Time to fire up the Dirty Harry series, it's been a while..

[elanmars]

thunderbolt and lightfoot!! great film.

I gotta admit..."Million Dollar Baby" made my eyes watery....

"Space Cowboys" is underrated as both an adventure/action flick and a comedy.

Those were both really good flicks.   

Just a funny side note, I saw "Million Dollar Baby" on DVD when it was still in the theaters. My Mom was up visiting me & shows up with a bag of bootleg DVD's she bought for $5 a piece at the bingo hall.

Anyone ever see some of Clint's first movies?    He had a small part in one of the Frances the Talking Mule flicks.

[chargergirl]

His last movie -- Gran Torino is definitely a must see

Really good movie! One of those got to see types!

[SeattleCharger]

If you haven't seen Unforgiven,  I know Mike mentioned it, was a four star movie, won award for best picture? etc.
   Clints best topping off of all his western movie history.  and morgan freeman is in it, and jean hackman,

It was a good movie, but I had hoped it would have been even better based on all the hype & that fact it won the Academy Award for best picture that year. I still thought The Outlaw Josey Wales was better.

 they are all good,  heh    the good, bad,  high  planes drifter, etc.  
      I kinda liked unforgiven though, how clint had changed his ways, but when things happened to his friend, and he went back at end?  and how the young kid told clint how he felt about what he did, and clint told the kid how it was . . .      (don't want to give away story)  I liked the ending of it, as he rode out of town in the rain,    he was a real SOB,  don't mess with him         and the writer asking about firing order, and gene hackman talking to writer, that was cool stuff
