Rye Miles #13621 Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 Not to take away from the post about Duke but it got me thinkin' about Clint Eastwood who had a lot of NON western movies. Mine would have to be Dirty Harry (the first one in 1971) You? Rye
Subdeacon Joe Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 Toss up between "Space Cowboys" and "The Beguiled" (assuming that you don't count a Civil War movie as a western).
Loophole LaRue, SASS #51438 Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 Return of the Creature From the Black Lagoon! LL
Alpo Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 The Beguiled? That the one where he killed the little girl's turtle, so she fed him poisoned mushrooms? I saw that once, maybe twice. Interesting role for him. He's normally the hero or the anti-hero. I believe that's the only one where he's the villain. Yeah, I agree with Space Cowboys. Excellent flick, but it would not be as good as it is without Tommy Lee Jones.
Ranger Dunn Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 Man this is not easy! Maybe Gran Torino, and then there is Space Cowboys, maybe Dirty Harry or Kelly's Heroes, oh heck I like most all of them.
Marshal Dan Troop 70448 Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 No question, ours is "Were Eagles Dare". Watch it several times a year if not more, love it. MT
Birdgun Quail, SASS #63663 Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 "The Outlaw Josey Wales" is my favorite Clint movie. Non-Western Clint movie would be "Dirty Harry."
Hoss Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 "The Outlaw Josey Wales" is my favorite Clint movie. Non-Western Clint movie would be "Dirty Harry." I'm with BG!
Utah Bob #35998 Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 Non western? Dirty Harry - Mature Clint Heartbreak Ridge - Middle aged Clint Gran Torino - Geezer Clint And let's not forget Honkytonk Man
John E. Law Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 Outlaw Josey Wales Gran Torino Heartbreak Ridge Just like with the Duke there are a bunch I really like but these are my favorites. JEL
DocWard Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 Non western? Dirty Harry - Mature Clint Heartbreak Ridge - Middle aged Clint Gran Torino - Geezer Clint That sounds about right. Don't forget Bronco Billy!

El Sabre Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 I liked the Philo Beddoe flicks for pure fun - in the same league as McClintock for kick-back-and-yuk enjoyment. Plus, Beverly D'Angelo! Mark

Mark Wasnt that Sondra Locke? Those were some pretty silly, but funny movies...."right turn Clyde"..... I loved the old grandma....
Utah Bob #35998 Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 Wasnt that Sondra Locke? Those were some pretty silly, but funny movies...."right turn Clyde"..... I loved the old grandma....Yeah, Sondra Locke. Clint's one big mistake imho.
El Sabre Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 Sondra Locke was in "Any Which Way You Can," her character named for a water cooler (Halsey-Taylor). Ms. D'Angelo was in "Every Which Way but Loose," the first one. Mark

Gunner Gatlin, SASS 10274L Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 +1 for Dirty Harry And Every Which Way But Loose..." right turn Clyde" GG
Rooster Ron Wayne Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 All of them are good. I would say one of my top favorites is . Gran Torino
Smokey Shayne Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 Gran Torino for me. It is actually my favorite Clint movie of all of them, western or non western
Tom Bullweed Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 Gran Torino The Gaunlet (even though it has Ms. Locke)
Hacker, SASS #55963 Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 Where Eagles Dare. Then come the Dirty Harry series. Then Heartbreak Ridge.
Eamon Chute Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 Dirty Harry or any from that series. As a native San Franciscan (of which there are only maybe 4 of us left) I like seeing what the San Francisco of my "youth" used to look like. And yes, it WAS a better city then....though rapidly changing in a direction none of us anticipated. But I digress..... EC
Mean Matt McCord, SASS #24683 Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 No question, ours is "Were Eagles Dare". Watch it several times a year if not more, love it. MT +1. My all time favorite WWII movie.
Grizzly Dave Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 You are forgetting young Clint singing in Paint your Wagon, but I suppose that is a western...
SGT. QUINCANNON, SASS #32999 Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 The Outlaw Josey Wales would probably be 1st, with Hang 'em High very close behind.

Rye Miles #13621 Posted July 31, 2013 Author Posted July 31, 2013 Sandra Locke wrote a scathing book about Clint. It didn't sell very well, I think she was a woman scorned! Rye
royal barnes sass #5792 Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 I'll break from the norm and say "Tightrope". Some of the other actors are pretty hokie but Clint does well as a tormented detective. Second would be "Heartbreak Ridge".
Bama Red Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 Yeah, Sondra Locke. Clint's one big mistake imho. But you're forgetting her acting abilities. As an actress, she's second only to a corpse in mid-rigor. On second thought, the corpse would be a much better actor!

Harvey Mushman Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 Heartbreak Ridge. I admire Clint as an actor as well as his political positions (although I don't pay much attention to Hollywood types in this arena as they are typically poorly equipped to have an informed opinion). Some here may be surprised if they research his history with several of the women in his life. Pretty vindictive fella, but there are two sides to every story. Harvey Josey Wales, overall (including Westerns)
Marshal Dan Troop 70448 Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 +1. My all time favorite WWII movie. I thought for a minute I was the only one to appreciate this great flick. It is probable one of the most underrated Clint movies. It had everything, including a clever plot that had twists that kept you thinking, besides the action on top of the cable car. Richard Burton did a marvelous job as the multi spy. Thought Clints holding and firing 2 MP40s was a little overboard. MT Not a Clint flick, but Kirk Douglas "Heroes of Telemark" is a must see after watching this one, recommended.
