railfancwb Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Considering Clint Eastwood... What was his best role or character as an actor? If different, what was his best multi film role? What was his best movie as a director? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borg warner Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Best Role: Toss-up between Jose Wales and Dirty Harry. Billy Mummy in The Forgiven was also very good, and his character in The Mule I thought really showed his versatility as an actor Best Movie as a director: Grand Torino. He was also very good in the lead role. I know a couple of people from when I lived in L.A. who have worked with him. One, a production accountant, and the other, an actress who was an extra in one of his films and lived in Carmel when he was Mayor, and just about everyone who's ever worked with him seems to like him 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dric902 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Did he die? That sounds like a dead question ‘Two Mules for Sister Sara’ Was a favorite. ‘Unforgiven’ was an excellent dramatic performance https://www.ranker.com/list/movies-and-films-directed-by-clint-eastwood/reference .

jmohme Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 No, I don't think he died. Clint is the original tough guy. He was a tough guy before the delivery room doctor slapped Chuck Norris's ass and Chuck slapped him back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maser Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Sudden Impact comes to my mind right away anytime I think of Clint. I guess because of how ugly that AutoMag is. Probably fun to shoot considering all ugly guns are fun to shoot it seems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

railfancwb Posted March 26, 2020 Author Share Posted March 26, 2020 So far as I know he is still alive and healthy. I posted the questions because I’ve recently run across the phrase “get off my lawn” several times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazy R Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Role is a tossup between Jose Wales and Unforgiven to me. Gran Torino is almost a masterpiece in role and directing. Let's forget Pink Cadillac. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mongo Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 l delivered a metal hangar building to Clint's Ranch in Northern calif in 1988. He flew his own helicopter to the ranch. It was a twin rotor. He would go into town occasionally and buy drinks for the whole place. The ranch prior owner was Bing Crosby. 2500 acres. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He says it's expensive and time consuming making ammo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
