"Who owns this garbage hole?
I do, Bought it from Horace Greeley
step aside fat man---Bang!
Well sir your are a coward, you just shot an unarmed man
He should have armed himself if he's gonna decorate his saloon with my dead friend.
You be William Munny, killed women and children
That's right, I killed just about anything that walks or crawls and i'm here to kill you Litlle Bill."

"You Better bury Ned right!!......or I'll come back here and kill every one of you sorry sonsabitches"


That's classic Eastwood

In Good/Bad/Ugly....Tuco is reading a note left by the fleeing LeeVanCleef (Bad) & stumbles as he reads the word "idiots", then Clint snatches it from Tuco, as it reads "see you idiots later" Clint then passes it back to Tuco & says, it's for you....

I always liked Pair Rider, but The Outlaw Josey Wales is probably his best:

From Pale Rider:

Coy LaHood: Do you imbibe? 
The Preacher: Only after nine in the morning.


Last scene in Pale Rider is one of my favorite SCENES he ever did.  
Talk about talent.

i was actually embarrassed for clint watching gran torino,  it reminded me of jordan on the wizards.

Are you serious? That was a solid flick.

 

Outlaw Josey Wales & Pale Rider are his 2 best imo. Both have great stories, great action, great characters and sweet one liners. You cant really find movies today that have all that stuff.

I love in The OJW , when the salesman is trying to sell his elixir and says it will work on anything! Josey spits tobacco on his white suit and asks him how it does with stains!!!

Heartbreak Ridge, but most all of them are outstanding.  And Rawhide.

I really liked Gran Torino, and thought he should have stepped out on top with that one. But no, he had to go and make a Paul Newman-like appearance in a romantic comedy farce called "Trouble with the Curve."

That said, wow did he make a ton of GREAT movies. My faves have always been The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, Dirty Harry, In the Line of Fire, The Outlaw Josey Wales and High Plains Drifter.

 

There are a few underrated ones I also enjoy seeing. Thunderbolt & Lightfoot has not a boring scene in it. Very well done. A Perfect World is another one, with more good acting in it than most movies could hope to have. That one has a great performance by Kevin Costner that goes unnoticed.  And Heartbreak Ridge has about 30 great lines in it. Eastwood really nailed it with that one.

 

All told, I can only think of about 4 or 5 bad movies by him. And about 20 great ones. And some others that aren't necessarily great, but have so many good lines and action that you have to watch nearly every time they're on. That's incredible. He's amazing.

and a great line from The Enforcer....

Harry Callahan: May I make a statement, McKay?

McKay: Go ahead!

Callahan: Your mouthwash aint makin' it!

 

And from The Rookie, another underrated flick....

(On live TV, no less, being interviewed by a news reporter where he's made a bust on an auto theft ring)

"...Now I happen to know of a prick that's responsible for this whole f.ucking operation. And that son of a bit.ch is hurting right now, and I'm f.ucking liking it!"
