Top 5: Clint Eastwood’s Top Roles
Today we take a look at Clint Eastwood’s brilliant acting career with his top 5 acting roles.
Number 5: In The Line of Fire: Very much like Eastwood’s ‘The Unforgiven’ but this one is set in modern times. Shows an aging Secret Service officer trying to right a mistake he had made 30 years previously.
Number 4: The Unforgiven: Some people say that this is an overrated movie. I say whoever thinks that has smoked too much crack. Eastwood’s character, William Munny, is an aging former bad ass in the wild west. Don’t get on his bad side or he’ll take your whole town down. One of my favorite lines of all time when he kills Gene Hackman’s character and says, “Deservings Got Nothing to with it”. Classic role, Classic Film.
Number 3: Dirty Harry: You feel lucky punk? Do you!??!?! First movie in which Eastwood played the detective Harry Callahan, who in his own words, managed to get “Every Dirty Job”
Number 2: Escape from Alcatraz: If you had to stay in a prison like this you would want to escape too. Eastwood plays Frank Morris who leads a pack of convicts looking to get out of the hellhole Alcatraz Prison.
Number 1: “Fistful of Dollars Trilogy”: ‘The Man With No Name” is iconic Eastwood. The parka, the hat, and the cigar is what make A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, The Good, and the Bad and the Ugly. Who knew Spaghetti Westerns could be so much fun?
“In the line of fire” is a better movie than “Play Misty for Me”?
I’ll be honest. Never seen ‘Play Misty For Me’ but now that I have looked it up and seen its also his first foray into directing I am gonna order it on Netflix today. Thanks for the heads up.
1.Dirty Harry for me, Escape from Alcatraz and the Good The Bad ann The Ugly are my top picks
Guy I really think we should also digg this story
while u are browsing through netflix you need to see “the beguiled”…that should bump off the unforgiven too.
William Money should be #1. Its the culmination of not only an image, but a lifetime of work. Not to mention, it’s the “anti” Eastwood image, that completely turns his whole thing upsidedown.
Why is it that clint eastwood alaways portrays as Frank or a detective calahan???
Nice list. I’d probably stick Dirty Harry C at the top just for those iconic lines but can’t argue with The Man With No Name! Check out our top 10 Clint Eastwood films if you get a chance.
