not a good Clint eastwood movie


I didn't see anything special in this movie. According to me, the best Clint Eastwood movies are:
> The good, the bad and the ugly.
> A fist full of Dollars.
> For a few Dollars more.

I haven't seen any other western movie of Clint. I'd appreciate if anybody list other good western movies starring Clint Eastwood.

Those three are great, but I'd also recommend High Plains Drifter, The Outlaw Josey Wales, Pale Rider and finish it off with Unforgiven.

Sorry to burst Your bubble, but Hang 'Em High wasnt a Clint movie either. It was directed by Ted Post. But I believe the original poster was simply asking for movies in which Clint stars in. High Plains Drifter, Josey Wales and Unforgiven would be the other movies I would recommend. Pale Rider seems a bit too much of a Shane copy and a lesser final product in my opinion. But watch the other three. Unforgiven is an especially satisfying film.

you either haven't seen any of the movies, or your name is "Beavis", because this is the ONLY great Eastwood film.

The ones you mention are total crap. HAN GEM HIGH is by far the best film he ever appeared in. The characters are believable (which you can't say about the goofy spaghetti crap, or josy wales or high plains drifter), and entertaining, which also can't be said for the movies you mention.

We have real emotion here. The hanging scene, the trial, not to mention the action.

This film is probably too left wing for feeble minds. It is about man's faults and imperfections. It shows how man's law is feeble, and how man's knowledge to judge is feeble. This is OX BOW INCIDENT, SOUTHERN COMFORT, and JUNGLE FIGHTERS.

You have totally humiliated yourself with your OP

Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time
that's not funny!

This movie was largely overwrought drivel,IMHO.
It wasted Inger Stevens (who looks like she made the decision about ending her life during its filming) and it's rather poorly paced.
The terrible score didn't help things either.

Frankly,I liked some of Ted Post's work (especially Go Tell the Spartans and Magnum Force)so I'm surprised that this was so bad. It has the look and feel of an early 1950's Western..and not the Anthony Mann ones.

Not Clint's best work..and I'm watching it while I'm writing this

Suspension of disbelief: Yes. Suspension of logical thought? I'll pass.
