Rate The Last Movie You Saw

American Reunion
Ergh. I can't believe all the kids in my entourage liked it. It's bad it a lot of ways, but still fun & easy to watch.

Gran Torino (2008)

I don't think much of Clint as an actor and I'm not very familiar with his directing work. I thought the movie was ok. It kept me entertained, but I didn't feel much emotional investment toward the main character. I liked how it ended, though.

As an actor the Dollars Trilogy by Sergio Leone are imo the best films starring Clint Eastwood.

As a director i would recommend A Perfect World and Unforgiven which are pretty good within the frames of Hollywood.

The Dollars trilogy is pretty high on my to-be-watched list. I have seen (and really enjoyed) The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

I'll have to add those movies directed by Eastwood to my list as well. I don't have much by him on there.

Thank you for the suggestions!

I actually cringed a few times at Clint's performance. He's always been kinda wooden, but in a badass way.

This, however, was just awful. He literally growled...growled...a couple of times in this.

The premise is believable enough, I suppose. It could have been done so much better, though.

This, Mystic River and Million Dollar Baby are my favorites of his, with J. Edgar as a distant runner up. Gran Torino is my favorite of all of them, however.

how about Mystic River? Million dollar baby? there's also those war flicks.. as good as the war flicks get...

I think they are quite forgettable as is White Hunter, Black Heart... I dont think ill revisit those movies ever. I havent seen Letters from Iwo Jima but have it on dvd. So ill probably watch that one day.

In general i think there is much more interesting stuff out there than Clint Eastwood.

How I'd rank his directorial works that I've seen:

Unforgiven

The Outlaw Josey Wales

-
High Plains Drifter

Mystic River

Million Dollar Baby

Gran Torino

Play Misty for Me

Invictus

Wow. I guess I really haven't seen much from him at all. Gran Torino might have been the first movie of his that I have watched. I believe that I have seen Unforgiven, but I cannot remember it at all. I added some of these to my to-be-watched list, just so I can get a better idea of his work. Thank you.

Worth the watch of course. Not the over the top goodness some people say it is, but it's a well made movie and very well acted by the two leads. Now, calling it "hard to watch" is going a bit over the top. Because there's porn-like scenes? Because the characters are in pain? Wasn't hard to watch for me.

How did sister not there at the end? I mean seriously, the way they shot it, she totally shoud've. It looked like it had already happened. Anyway, that's a (huge) detail in an overall, a well made movie.

The Fountain. 6.5/10. It's pretty to look at and I respect the ambition but the movie is just dull. I really wanted to like it, but it just feels disjointed and convoluted. The movie's just doesn't quite work. It's pretty hollow.

The last two I saw

The Accused- 7/10
We Are Marshall- 7/10

I still haven't got the total fuss over this movie. I'm Eastwoods biggest fan, too.

There's a lot of things you don't get.

Indeed.

Still like the film, just not his top stuff.
