A good old nostalgic Clint Eastwood thriller?

Magnum Force just started on RTE2..when films were films and men were real men

foxy farmer

A man's gotta know his limitations.

He was 56 when he fathered Scott. Bualadh bos to Clint.

He'll always be Thunderbolt to me.

Probably my favourite bad actor.

Pac1Man

And still doing the damn thing in The Mule. It was well received too.

Dirty Harry

He was very good in The Mule

Church on Tuesday

Quite a fine actor and director actually. Unforgiven, easily Eastwoods best film, is proof enough of that.

Love the Dirty Harry films though, just a lot of fun and actually not quite as un PC as some may think.

My favourite eastwood movie is the good the bad and the ugly. Its in the top ten on imbd. The music in the film is amazing.

Mine's Unforgiven

Gran Torino another good one.

Eastwood is one of the most gender progressive talents in Hollywood, you can go through his films and find women in strong roles from the late 60s to the present and there are also some feminist themes as well, esp those films he directed. Obviously this seems to be counter intuitive given his persona and his relationship with Sandra Locke but that's why one should separate the personal from the professional.

As for Magnum Force. Hal Holbrook was always a favourite of mine.

Great Lalo Schifrin theme music as usual. Satanic choir!

I always loved "Firefox" and "Every which way but loose" when I was a kid.
I'm not sure how well the former has stood the test of time though tbh.

The good, the bad and the ugly is my favourite movie of all time, love the other 2 Dollar movies too, as well as the Dirty Harry's, but a shout out to Bronco Billy a great movie from the 60's,

Play Misty For Me, where he played a DJ who become the victim of an obsessive fan.

The outlaw Josie Wales is a classic. The old Indian is great in it too

Tuco88

Always enjoyed a few dollars more.

Three hours long , and the climax is a long scene with three guys just standing around doing almost nothing

The other two are worth watching too.

A Fistful of Dollars is a scene by scene copy of ‎Yojimbo‎. But it's worth watching. Reinvented the Western. BTW It's copy Last Man Standing the Bruce Willis version isn't worth watching.


For a Few Dollars More, watch the music :pac:

I really love the music in For a Few Dollars More
