Which is the best Clint Eastwoof movie? I like Outlaw Josie Wales. But I also kinda like the lighter Every Which Way but loose. I’m torn. Which is your favorite? ---

The best one is definitely “The Outlaw Josey Wales.” Among the others that I like a lot: “Escape From Alcatraz” “High Plains Drifter” “In the Line of Fire” “The Beguiled” “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” Of course, I’ve enjoyed some of his lesser work (“Kelly’s Heroes” and the two orangutan movies) a lot more than I ought to. ---

I don’t know no Clint East **woof**. Is he related to Benji ? As regard Clint East **wood** , it is hard to tell. He is into so many _genre_ I’d rather list them by that : Comedy : _Kelly’s Heroes_ Western : _The Good, The Bad And The Ugly_ War : _Heartbreak Ridge_ Thriller : _Play Misty For Me_ ---

Escape from Alcatraz. In the Line of Fire. Heartbreak Ridge. Dirt Harry. I don’t like westerns full stop. So I don’t like any of the Eastwood ones. ---

Unforgiven, without a doubt. The Outlaw Josey Wales would be second choice. ---

I have had a deep and abiding love for **In the Line of Fire** ever since I saw it when it first came out. It was, not coincidentally, the first John Malkovich movie I ever saw (I was 11 at the time). I have stayed at the Westin St. Francis in San Francisco a few times, and they have those glass elevators outside of the building. Freaky. Daphne Black ---

These are Eastwoof’s best … Posted by Snooooopy I was almost in tears when I read the list… Don’t forget The Outlaw Josey Wags. :rolleyes: Anyway, I like most of his movies when he’s a cop. I don’t really care for the Westerns. ---

I’m torn between _Dirty Harry_ and _The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly_. I mean, I know flicks like _Unforgiven_ were better movies, but classic Clint was so fun. Hmmm. OK, on fun factor alone, TGTBATU wins by a hair. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/eastwood-fans-which-is-the-best-clint-eastwoof-movie/243037.md?page=2)
