I love Clint's portrayal of a Mexican Bandito in that film.

I love many of the ones already mentioned, particularly the Clint pair and Death Wish. Now I'll toss out a few more low-brow choices (this is, after all, "favorites"...not necessarily "best"...right? )
Mad Max
I Spit On Your Grave
The Last House On The Left
Young Guns
Friday The 13th
Theater Of Blood
Orca, The Killer Whale |
