Rank Clint Eastwood's movies

I've decided that Clint Eastwood is both my favorite actor and director ever. He's made so many great movies. What are your favorites?

Everyone knows "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly", "Dirty Harry", "Unforgiven", and " Million Dollar Baby" are great. What about the others? Rank as many as you've seen.

1. Unforgiven
2. Everything else (I have yet to see Million Dollar Baby)

Josey Wales is one of Clint's few big movies that I haven't seen yet. I'm actually planning to watch it tonight.

I'm interested in why some people rank Josey Wales so highly. I've seen it a few times and I actually just went out and rented it to watch again. I like it a lot but thought Unforgiven was better.

Also rented High Plains Drifter since somebody said it was the best Eastwood movie.

I liked High Plains Drifter a lot, but I don't think it as as good as any of the three "Man With No Name" movies, or Unforgiven.

Back cover says High Plains Drifter is one of the "Man With no Name" movies. If it's better than TGTB&TU or Unforgiven I'll be really surprised.

They lied. I think it was just a marketing ploy.

It's definitely not the same character.

as a director:

1. a perfect world (vastly under-rated)
2. unforgiven

i thought million dollar baby was a grotesque melodrama which belonged on daytime TV.

From best to worst:

Unforgiven
The Outlaw Josey Wales
Bridges of Madison County
Escape From Alcatraz
In the Line of Fire
Where Eagles Dare
A Perfect World
High Plains Drifter
A Fistful of Dollars
For a Few Dollars More
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
Pale Rider
Absolute Power
Tightrope
Play Misty for Me
Dirty Harry
Heartbreak Ridge
Hang'Em High
Magnum Force
The Enforcer
The Beguiled
Paint Your Wagons
The Dead Pool

There are several good ones I haven't yet seen, noticably Million Dollar Baby.

Clint is awesome, baby!
