A lot of Clint Eastwood's films seem to be on constant rotation on TV (although to be honest I haven't seen Heartbreak Ridge for at least a week) but you never see the following:

The Beguiled
Play Misty for Me
Bronco Billy
Honkytonk Man
Tightrope (has been on once or twice but not for a while)
City Heat (used to appear fairly regularly but not for a long time)
Pink Cadillac
White Hunter Black Heart
Absolute Power
True Crime

and anything after Space Cowboys.

There's Firefox, and then there's everything else.

"You must think in Russian"

What a film.

Every Which Way But Loose was apparently one of his most successful (adjusted box office receipts) films. Wonder why that doesn't get shown (at all?).
The very first film I rented on VHS smile

Have you seen "The Mule"?

I really enjoyed it. A grumpy old Clint at his best.

Clint.

What. A. Name.

Epic name.

Rarely see a Clint, but when you do, you know you're in the presence of a special being.

I like that they kept the grittiness of Craig Thomas's novel rather than turning it into some sort of Rambo with wings.

A few more adaptations of his work wouldn't have gone amiss. The Bear's Tears would have made a great TV mini-series.

The Eiger sanction.

Great film.

Play Misty for Me was also great and not the usual Clint type film of that era.

The ones with the big monkey, atrocious waste of celluloid.

How can anyone think Josey Wales, Unforgiven, Gran Torino are rarely seen ?
Ignore the thread title, just name our fave Clinton films
