Well since my favorite (Unforgiven) didn't make it, I'll go with Outlaw.

Yeah, but we all know Dirty Harry kicks more ass.

So who's next? Kevin Costner? :lol:

I was torn as well...I REALLY wanted to go w/ TGTBATU. Epic movie. Awesome cinematography. Leone's direction & the editing is astonishing. Score is heavenly. One of the greatest shootouts ever at the end. (hmmm am I starting to change my mind?)

Reason I voted TOJW? #1 the story. I really connected with it on a human level. It has heart. #2 - since this is a CLINT'S greatest movie poll it occurred to me that he really isn't IN TGTBATU all that MUCH! His performance in JW tops TMWNN in TGTBATU IMO & he directed JW to boot.

I'm just SHOCKED that Unforgiven didn't make it to the finals. I really am.

If I recall, Clint directed Josey Wales too. He has turned out to be a pretty darn good director. Man has had a hell of a career.

Yes he did & yes he has. :D If I were to be an actor, type, that right there is the career to aspire to. I think a lot of it is because he's a pretty bright guy w/ a lot of varied interests.

He did two very interesting and not famous flicks. Play Misty For Me (I think his first directorial debut) where he played a radio dj with a murderous chick stalking him and a gothic civil war western called the Beguiled which is pretty darn wierd. Seen'm?

Yep. He's a pretty unlikable bastard in the Beguiled...weird little flick...Play Misty For Me...very good. Interesting choice for a directorial debut & very against typecasting, especially that (relatively) early in his career. And the first time I saw Fatal Attraction? "Holy shit, they totally ripped off Play Misty For Me!"
