My Clint Eastwood Tribute. I went chronological back until I was too lazy to continue Trouble with the Curve – an anxious supermodel diets and vomits her way to the top, and binges her way right back to the bottom. Gran Torino – Manolo’s Torino grows under the tutelage of his grandfather, the beloved neighborhood pot dealer. Million Dollar Baby – in a world where a million dollar baby is ridiculously overpriced, life is cheap. Blood Work – a depressed artist plans a grand public suicide using his own bleeding wrists as brushes to create his final painting. Space Cowboys – the world’s first herd of bio-engineered solar powered cattle need a few good men. True Crime – a collection of security cam footage of blurry unidentifiable criminals who are never caught or convicted. Absolute Power – Sparky’s got his “owners” right under his paws, just where he wants them. The Bridges of Madison County – Lloyd, Beau and Jeff weren’t from Madison County, but they spent a wild weekend there in 1994. A Perfect World – finally, the sequel to Idiocracy. In the Line of Fire – from the makers of Sharknado. A line of fire stretches entirely across America, and one marginally crazy scientist knows just what to do. ---

A trilogy:_Goldfinger, The Man With the Golden Arm, and Goldmember:_ A collection of wacky accidents set in a precious metals foundry.
