Need to know which Clint Eastwood movie got the best reviews from critics and audiences? Well you have come to the right place….because we have all of that information.
Clint Eastwood is one of my favorite movie stars. Eastwood started appearing in movies in the mid 1950s, he gained his first notoriety playing Rowdy Yates on the television show Rawhide from 1959 to 1964. During a break from Rawhide, Eastwood agreed to star in a low budget western that was being filmed in Italy called A Fistful of Dollars (1964). The movie was a huge hit overseas, as result Eastwood became a star playing the “The Man With No Name”. He returned in two more spaghetti westerns directed by Sergio Leone. My favorite Eastwood movie, the classic The Good, The Bad and The Ugly (1966) was the last of the trilogy.
In 1971 Eastwood played Detective Harry Callahan in the hit Dirty Harry. Dirty Harry turned Eastwood into a mega superstar. He would end up playing Harry Callahan in four sequels. During the 1970s and 1980s, Eastwood appeared in hit movie after hit movie. Having established himself as a solid investment, he talked Warner Brothers into letting him direct the movie Play Misty For Me (1971). The low budget movie turned into a success and the career of Clint Eastwood the director was launched. As Clint approached the age of 60, his movies were not receiving much box office success. Things looked like they were slowing down for him, when he starred, produced, and directed Unforgiven 1992. Unforgiven earned Eastwood his first Oscar® nomination for Best Actor, and Oscar® wins for Best Director and Best Picture.
Over the last forty years, Eastwood has appeared in less movies and concentrated on directing. In 2004 he starred, produced and directed Million Dollar Baby. This female boxing movie earned Eastwood his second-Best Actor nomination and won two more Oscars® for Best Director and Best Picture. His IMDb page shows over 90 acting and directing credits since 1955. This page will rank Clint Eastwood movies from Best to Worst in six different sortable columns of information. Television shows, uncredited roles, cameos, and a handful of his pre-A Fistful of Dollars were not included in the rankings.

My Personal Top Ten Clint Eastwood Movies in Alphabetical Order
1. A Fistful of Dollars (1964)….the movie that turned a television supporting player into a superstar movie actor
2. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly (1966)….the last and best of the Sergio Leone spaghetti western trilogy
3. In The Line of Fire (1993)….I re-watch this one about every other year….Clint and John Malkovich get better with each passing year
4. Kelly’s Heroes (1970)….this is closing in on 50 years old…but it is still a fun and entertaining movie to watch
5. The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976)…the first time Clint demonstrated that he could direct a classic movie
6. Paint Your Wagon (1967)…..I am not much of a musical person…..but I love watching his Clint/Lee Marvin musical
7. Play Misty For Me (1971)…. Clint made Fatal Attraction years before Michael Douglas did
8. Space Cowboys (2000)…Clint, Tommy Lee Jones, the late great James Garner and a Kelly Heroes’ reunion with Donald Sutherland…what more could you want from a movie?
9. Sudden Impact (1983)….gotta include a Dirty Harry movie in this list…..my favorite of the 5 Dirty Harry movies
10. Unforgiven (1992)…. Clint’s masterpiece….gets better with each new viewing

I’ve only seen a couple Clint Movies… Gran Torino was very good. My boyfriend loves Clint Eastwood and has quite the collection of his movies – sending him your page. Great job!
Only a couple Clint movies? Wow….just kidding some of his movies have lots of violence….but movies like Space Cowboys and Bridges on Madison County are pretty good….and my wife recommends them…thanks for reading and commenting
I love Clint and just about all of his movies…I think you are pretty accurate with your line-up compared to mine. Dirty Harry are my favorites of his. I would have to have the “outlaw josey wales” near the top for me.
Gran Torino is really a big one for me. I had a hard time with Bridges of Madison Co because he was a long ways from Harry Calahan..
Hey CMerritt, I was surprised also that The Outlaw Josey Wales did not rank higher….its box office is ok….but it got no love at awards time….only one Oscar nomination…I would put it ahead of the two monkey movies at least…..I also agree that Bridges was hard to watch…but my wife loves that movie, so I get to watch about once a year.
Clint has long been one of my favorite actors and he’s also among by favorite directors. He’s an iconic action star who turned into one of the best directors working today. He still gives powerful performances (As in “Gran Torino”) and practically every film he directed in recent years has been a contender for best picture (Except “Hereafter”). My favorite Eastwood films as a director are “Unforgiven”, “Mystic River” and “Letters from Iwo Jima”. As an actor, I love “Dirty Harry”, “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly”, “Gran Torino” and “Unforgiven”.
I always get a laugh watching Clint singing in the musical “Paint Your Wagon”, but at least he was better than Lee Marvin’s singing.
He’s come a long way from Rowdy Yates in “Rawhide”.
Rob…..Letters from Iwo Jima is not in the Top 10 because of a very low box office total…..but between Letters and Flags of our Fathers….Letters was by far the better picture. As for your favorite actor parts they all finished in the Top 8….thanks for reading and commenting…if you have any suggestions for future page actors or actresses…let me know….I am running out of people that I like
Ah, you finally picked a great actor and greater director, wow 4 Dirty Harry movies in the Top 10, and poor Dead Pool sitting at number 35. Great list, I agree 100% with you that GoodBadUgly is a classic. Great page and I am the first to post.
Congrats on being the first to post Yankees Rule…..yep there are four Dirty Harry movies in the Top 10….thanks for reading and posting
He has certainly had a long and productive career. I have seen just about all his movies, really good ones – too many to name. Thanks again for all your hard work getting us the facts. No personal information on him though. I have enjoyed Absolute Power very much and have watched it many times.
Thanks for stopping by BERN1960…Hackman makes a good bad President in Absolute Power
