    Clint Eastwood : The Greatest

    While everyone is talking about movies why don`t we pay some respect to the greatest action movie actor of all time, Clint Eastwood.

    Arnie, Sly, Van Damme, Segal, Cage etc. have all tried to step into the mantle of Hollywood tough guy but none can match the master.

    Eastwood can even pull off comedy and "real" acting.

    My favourite Clint movies:

    The good, the bad and the ugly
    The outlaw Josey Wales
    Dirty Harry
    Firefox
    Where eagles dare
    Unforgiven
    The two films with the monkey

    The man is without peer.

      He is one of my fave actors as well. He is an amazing film director too. Yes, Clint rules, that's for sure.

          Without peer? Of that...I'm not sure...

          but the guy has created an incredible personality. The best part about Eastwood is how little in real life he is to the rough and tumble characters he portrayed.

          He is an incredible actor...and is able to put real emotion behind the bad ass that he's portraying. And as he's gotten older, more of that has gotten out. He's directing a new movie with Steven Spielberg...on Iwo Jima...and I think he has a small part in that movie as well...

          but the rumor is...he's found another script he likes...a western...

          we can only hope...
          "Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."

              The Outlaw Josey Wales!

              What a great film.

                  I think so.

                  The list of quality films he has both starred in AND directed is incredible.

                  Even the ones that that weren`t huge hits reflect his skill as an actor.

                  He is also able to make each character he plays different, rather than tham all being "Clint Eastwood".

                  The man with no name is totally different to Josey Wales who is totally different to Harry Callaghan who is totally different to Bronco Billy.

                  Yes, there are guys who have made one or two films with characters that are as good as Eastwood`s, but noone has made as many.

                      Eastwood is purty damn good, agreed.

                      About time someone mentioned Firefox as being among his best! Man, I fuckin' love that flick!!

                      Even Million Dollar Baby was damn good, in spite of ole Morgan Freeman playing his 10 millionth version of the wise old sage. Mystic River...

                      The Good, The Bad and The Ugly was a classic, but credit must go to Eli Wallach as well.

                      Eastwood totally has put a level of integrity and excellence into a lot of his work that Stallone, Arnioe and the rest only rarely bother to. Think Clint deserves whatever good comes his way. I've even forgiven him for Bronco Billy.

                              Could you imagine if Spielberg says to Clint:

                              "How would you like to make a film with an unlimited budget?"

                              Pairing those two means infinite possibilities....

                                          Fucking straight! Firefox rocked my balls!

                                          Eastwood is God. Nooche.

                                              Eastwood is tha man
                                              The only westerns that I can stand today are the ones with him. Those three Spagetti Westerns where the best thing I had saw on TV when a kid.

                                              How many of you tried the Eastwood face expression on that movies when kids?

                                                  Soul Reaper....get The Good, The Bad & The Ugly Collectors Edition. It is in a white box, with 2 DVDs.

                                                  They added about half an hour of deleted scenes back in, so it is about 3 hours long.

                                                  The interviews and behind the scenes stuff on the second disc is fucking killer!!!

                                                      Firefox is hilarious. I dig "Heartbreak Ridge" a damn lot as well.
