Clint Eastwood is one of my all-time favorite actors. Among the huge list of movies that he has appeared in and/or directed, he may be best known for his series of movies filmed primarily in Italy; hence, the name "spaghetti western."

Two of them were featured this weekend on TV, on the Hallmark Channel. I am just curious if there are others who share my interest.

Of the movies listed, I've only seen High Plains Drifter in it's entirety. The rest I have seen bits and pieces of. Another favorite Eastwood western of mine is Hang 'Em High.

I like The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly the most. I like most Clint Eastwood's "Spaghetti Westerns." It not about good guy wearing white hats and bad guy wear black.

Thanks, Luv! I thought that I may have missed one or two titles. It's my first poll. I'm glad that you and Odie also like his movies. :( :laugh:

I agree with you, Odie. I don't know that I have a favorite. It's hard to choose. However, I especially like the scene in GBU where "blondie" - Clint - and the colonel - van Cleef - face each other for the first time. Like a pair of male dogs eyeing each other. Then the punch, followed by the " see-how-well-I-can-shoot" routine, followed by "see-I-can-shoot-even-further'. It was great! :(

I went to the web site Clinteastwood.net and discovered two things:

 

1. The so-called "spaghetti westerns" consist of only the first three on my poll.

 

2. His very first movie was a1955 sci-fi thriller called "Revenge of the Creature" where Mr. Eastwood played the role of a lab assistant (!). Pretty neat, eh? :)

 

3. His very first TV appearance is in a milk commercial ~~ no apparent "moustache" ~~ hehe!

What is that one where Clint was whiped by a gang within an inch of his life and then comes back later and is made Sherriff?  Which one is that?

That would be "Hang 'Em High" from 1968. A very good western, IMO. :lol:

I see that there is a DVD release, called "The Man with No Name Trilogy", which is the first three movies listed at the top. I just may buy it. It would be cheaper than any of the TOS DVD sets that are out, tho I want to buy all of them :laugh: .
