I love that movie where a racist old white guy is redeemed after he murders a bunch of Hispanic dudes. He was just misunderstood, even though he mind fucks an Asian family for the entire movie. Solid filmmaking right there.
Fucking cunt.

Having never watched an Eastwood-directed film I have nothing of substance to add to this thread, but as a kid I did enjoy that movie with the orang outan.

Look at all that acting. What the fuck happened to this guy? Jesus. He was in TGBU, for fuck sake, and he kept up with both Eli Wallach
and LVC. It's fucking sad.

I don't really see what you're talking about. Dirty Harry is a murderous cop, and "The Good" is a bounty hunter trying to profit off the civil war. He's made a career out of playing antiheros. So a racist grampa who finds redemption doesn't really seem too far out of place here. That said I think Gran Torino is pretty crap otherwise, Clint performance carries it the best it can.. He should play an elderly Batman. Finally a superhero movie I would pay to see.

I'm saying he's shown himself to be a superb actor (TGBU).
Play Misty For Me is a fucking insanely good movie. I find him miscast in most roles.
He gets a pass for PMFM and TGBU. I completely forgot he directed Misty, so I'm gunna watch that again.

Not crap for Every Which Way but Loose.
I want to do a poll on Sean Connery playing non-Scottish characters with a Scottish accent.

While that one is a gem?
He did not actually direct it.

You've never seen
Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil or
Million Dollar Baby?
