I used to look forward to the Christmas season when a new Clint Eastwood movie would be coming out. The Dirty Harry movies and the spaghetti westerns are a couple examples. I didn't much care for: True Crime Bronco Billy Bridges of Madison County, and their ilk. _____________________________ "The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by those who vote for a living."

Top 3 (hard to choose) -- Unforgiven -- Josey Wales -- Kelly's Heroes Don't like -- Firefox -- Any Which Way You Can (Locke is insufferable) -- Bridges of Madison County (never saw, never want to see) _____________________________________________________________________ “Civilization is not inherited; it has to be learned and earned by each generation anew; if the transmission should be interrupted for one century, civilization would die, and we should be savages again." - Will Durant | |||

When did I. Ecame so old that I think of lint's movies as a director first? Garden of good and evil is awesome. Bird is great too. Must say I 'm no fan of Flags or Letters nor the last one with the objector dude. Might be related to me being a foreigner. The one with the orangutan was awful. 0-0 "OP is a troll" - Flashlightboy, 12/18/20 | |||

I thought it deserved all it got. Excellent film, but I did not list it in my top 3 because I have seen it only several times (first release movie theater and several times on BluRay). It is just a depressing film for me to watch over again. Gran Torino, another outstanding film, same thing; a little bit of a downer film to watch time after time. May be the reason why I had no interest in seeing Million Dollar Baby, heard that was an extremely depressing Eastwood film. My top 3, I must have viewed a couple of dozen times each. Had VHS, laserdisc, DVD, then BluRay. Hated to watch them on TV with commercials.

Maybe it's an age thing, I saw it when I was like 4 (?), thought it was the coolest thing ever. I think my parent let me stay up late to see it. My older brother and I still reference it sometimes "No, you have to think in Russian " "Ninja kick the damn rabbit" | |||

I just remembered something. In one of those movies, the climax is a prolonged fistfight between Eastwood and the actor, William Smith. The fight goes on for what seems like 10 minutes or more. They fight in and out of a barn, over hay bales, water troughs, fences, and on and on. I had taken my youngest son, who was probaby eight at the time. He's chewing popcorn and thoroughly engrossed. Just before Eastwood emerges victorious, my son turns to me and says, "I was in one just like that!" | |||

While no fan of Bridges of Madison County, it made me appreciate and respect Eastwood to a much greater level. I was teaching down there during filming and supervising the student-run TV station. Clint saw to it that my HS students had first access to him and the set, granted them closer access than the regular media and even had different production people come and speak to my classes. He treated those kids like they were the stars... ___________________________ "Those that can't laugh at themselves leave the job to others..." | |||

I like and watch the ones everyone likes, never heard of half the bad ones named, and haven't seen any of the bad ones. | |||

Million Dollar Baby is great, and rough... I simply don't care to watch such heavy things very often. This one, Babel, Hotel Rwanda, Leaving Las Vegas, House of Sand and Fog, Requiem for a Dream, etc... (just shoot me already) I don't regret seeing any of them, I enjoyed them, once, or maybe once in a great while.  | |||
