This might be the closest agreement Jim and I have on one of these lists.

*1. Unforgiven - A (all-time top 20, best film of last 20-25 years)
*2. The Outlaw Josey Wales - A-
3. Play Misty For Me - A-
(I was really surprised at how well this plays as a horror film)
4. High Plains Drifter - B+
5. Letters From Iwo Jima - B+
6. Mystic River - B+
7. A Perfect World - B
8. Bronco Billy - B
(I liked it when I was a kid anyway)
9. Flags of Our Fathers - B-
10. Bird - B-
11. Million Dollar Baby - B-
12. Firefox - B-
(I have vivid memories of seeing this at the drive-in with my Dad.)

Own: 2 (I sold 1 copy of Unforgiven, asked for the SE for Christmas/B-day and my Mom accidentally got me another copy of the old version which I still have sealed. I've never gotten around to getting the SE. Might buy Misty one of these days.)

I've seen Pale Rider but don't really remember it, I might have seen Honkytonk Man as well. Would like to see White Hunter Black Heart, Heartbreak Ridge, and rewatch Pale Rider.

Mystic River (2003)- A-
Space Cowboys (2000)- C
Absolute Power (1997) - C
The Bridges of Madison County (1995) - A- I get to be the first on to mention the deplorable lack of an OAR release on this title!
Unforgiven (1992) - A
Heartbreak Ridge (1986) - D
Play Misty for Me (1971) - B



I don't care for modern films. All crashing cars and close-ups of people's feet.

Finally saw Million Dollar Baby. Far from being my favorite Eastwood movie but great performances from the three leads deserve a 3 out of 5 rating.

Rankings

1)Unforgiven
2)The Outlaw Josey Wales
3)High Plains Drifter
4)The Gauntlet
(a guilty fave)
5)Firefox (ditto)
6)Sudden Impact
7)Heartbreak Ridge
8)A Perfect World
9)Pale Rider
(a fusion of Shane & High Plains Drifter, but inferior to both)
10)Space Cowboys (geriatrics in space!)

Average Rating 3 out of 5
