Got nearly all his movies, I especially like Dirty Harry Heartbreak Ridge In The Line Of Fire The Gauntlet Play Misty For Me - this is a rare gem, check it out if you can.
Got most of my collection in a fire sale at a DVD store, for like $2.50 a movie brand new. The Dead Pool Sudden Impact Magnum Force True Crime Unforgiven (2 disc) Tightrope Firefox Pale Rider The Outlaw Josey Wales Heartbreak Ridge Blood Work Absolute Power Where Eagles Dare Any Which Way You Can
Foxtel recently showed Coogans Bluff The Eiger Sanction The Good The Bad & The Ugly
Most chicks can't stand him acting , very much a male anti-hero Icon. I think a lot of guys identify with his simplistic direct violence. I do.
Still not seen The Good The Bad & The Ugly Gran Torino

Not sure of greatest of all time, I think everyone will see that a little different, but he's a damn good actor, and I've enjoyed all of his movies that I've seen, but have not seen a huge amount. Seen all the standard ones, off the top of my head Dirty Harry Every which way but loose The Dead Pool Sudden Impact Magnum Force(used to love this as a kid for some reason). Still not seen Gran Torino Great movie. Do yourself a favour and find some time to watch it

Feeling Lucky Punk.. Well do ya! Love Clint Eastwood, remember watching Gran Torino at his age he clearly showed he never lost his 'Don't Fuck with Me Personna'. They should get rid of the Statue of Liberty and replace it with a statue of Clint Eastwood.

While I don't mind him as an actor I've never really enjoyed his movies enough to go out of my way to watch them. Having said that, I've found the movies he's directed to be brilliant. Don't think I've seen a bad one yet. Invictus recently was great & Flag of our Fathers & Letters from Iwo Jima were both absolutely amazing. Gran Torino kicked ass to A great hidden gem is Midnight in the garden of good & evil. Check that one out.

Million Dollar Baby he did with Morgan Freeman and Hilary Swank. It's about female boxing, and I kinda went Nah, that wouldn't be any good. But a mate kept on at me about it, and he was right, it's outstanding.

Mr spaghetti western. None of those movies have dated and I dont remember seeing an anti hero in a movie before them Great war movies, Kellys Heroes is one of the best movies ever made and the Dirty Harry franchise and wait there is more Clint can sing. Paint your wagon was an exceptional musical comedy with Lee Marvin Clint Eastwoods seems to have kept his feet reasonably well grounded

Gran Torino I can watch again and again.
Dirty Harry and In The Line of Fire were top ones too.
Very much a males icon.
