Top 5 Clint Eastwood (Acted) Films

NO this list is not about Clint's wonderful directed films but the films he has been the star in. Now this is just my personal opinion and i have not seen all the films with Clint in. 

If you wish to see the list i done on Clint's BEST DIRECTED films then click here - https://1stmetalgodsblog.blogspot.co.uk/2017/06/top-3-clint-eastwood-directed-films.html

If you seen that list or if you have not well let's carry on reading this list! 

5) Dirty Harry - The only Harry Callahan film i have seen it's a good film with the iconic Punk speech in so you know not to fool around here and i so wish we had the Dirty Harry game oh well. This role was supposedly for Frank Sinatra. 

4) A Fistful Of Dollars - This is a hard-hitting item, ably directed, splendidly lensed, neatly acted, which has all the ingredients wanted by action fans and then some. The first of the GBU trilogy. 

3) A Few Dollars More - A significant step forward from A Fistful of Dollars, with the usual terrific compositions, Morricone score and a tremendously good sequel, on top of being a tremendously good movie in and of itself - surely the best Italian Western at the time of its release.

2) Gran Torino - Seeing the new inclusive Clint shows an old dog can learn new tricks. But like Walt himself, I can't help but prefer Dirty Harry to Caring Clint any day. Still a great film overall and like any on my list a must see. 

1) The Good, The Bad & The Ugly - A film i have seen 6 times in total of my whole life it's so gripping and it's musical score is just amazing like its out of this world so good and this film,music and cast are all iconic. Watch it if you have not! It's one of the best films ever made!

Honourable Mentions. 
I have seen all these films but i thought it would be odd to make a list called "Top 8 Clint Films" so i narrowed it down to 5 to make it more rounded and grounded....and i am an Outlaw now ya dig punk?

Unforgiven - Now i didn't particularly like this one as much as i should of i think it's Clint's weakest western i have seen and i know "Oh but you've not seen them all" yeah well from the ones i have seen this is weak. 

Hang Em High - I have not seen this in a while but it is good revenge flick that is a good watch so watch it buster!

Space Cowboys - Another film I have not seen this in a good few years but i remember enjoying it very much with it's great cast blasting this film into my list's honourable mentions you know its good!

Films i have not seen with Clint in, that i plan to watch are as follows; The Outlaw Josey Wales, Million Dollar Baby, Sudden Impact, The Enforcer, The Deadpool and Magnum Force. 

List may get updated in future but for now do subscribe and bookmark my blog to see when new lists and other things get released from me, thanks for reading stay shiny!

Top 3 Clint Eastwood (Directed) Films

Hello there, how are you doing? I hope you are well my metallic nation. 

Today i have another list, top 3 Clint Eastwood films now by this i will state i am going by FILMS HE DIRECTED. Not the ones he has only starred in. 

I'll do a list of films i love with Clint in some other day. 

So yes with all this in mind, let us venture to see the best 3 films i think Clint has made. 

3: 
Jersey Boys
Now i will be honest when i heard this was being made by Clint i thought "Clint has done a musical film? This is weird" then i seen the trailer and i was like "Ok i have to see this" and i did see it and i really enjoyed it. Great story, great music and actors in the film and Clint's direction with it is good. I enjoyed it a lot. 7/10.

2: 
Gran Torino
Simply terrific, enormously watchable and an absolute must for all Eastwood fans. Covers a lot of ground as it rolls: religion, the toll of war, mortality, what it means to be a man. It perfectly captures his on screen career too and that's what fans will love about this film. 8/10

1: American Sniper
Great film here one thing that is off putting is the fake baby scene (if you seen it you will know what i mean). Bradley Cooper delivers a strong performance that really carries the film we see Kyle go through the motions of war in this story, Eastwood knows how to make compelling and tense films for our viewing pleasure. 9/10. 

Now below here is a list of all the other films i have seen directed by Eastwood and my thoughts on them.
 
J. Edgar (I have seen this film but i was severely bored by it don't recommend unless you know and are interested in J. Edgar Hoover.)

Space Cowboys (Good film from what i remember but not seen it in years) 

Mystic River (Was ok again not seen it in years) 

Unforgiven (I did not like this to be honest first seen it about 4 years ago after a friend kept telling me to see it since i like Westerns and it has a good cast but it bored me tbh)

That is all from me for today people, another short list all wrapped up, because it's short does not mean it took me 5 mins to put together either lol.  

Thanks for stopping by and reading.

Feel free to share this or comment or suggest any list you want to see from me. 

See you soon.
