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

To Clint, Your speech was the most memorable moment of the RNC. You brought “eastwooding” into our lives. I could never look at an empty chair again without thinking of you. I was waiting for you to do a “right turn Clyde,” but you never did. That’s ok you still “made my day!” Thanks for all the awesome movies…with the exception of Bridges of Madison County. The book was epic. The movie was a fail.
To Cogerson, I was searching your pages in hopes of finding one on Charlie Sheen since today is his 48th birthday. I didn’t find one, but I found Clint’s which was jsut as fun!:)
Hey Sunshine…thanks for checking out my Clint hub….ever since his GOP speech this hub has gotten many views….I am surprised Clint did not “right turn Clyde” too. As for Bridges of Madison County…I never read the book….but the movie is not one of my favorites either. Per your request I have started the work on an Estevez hub….which will include the newly turned 47 years old Charlie, big brother Emilio and papa Martin.
I agree that The Good the Bad and The Ugly is the best. It’s full of great lines. No one can be as cool as “Blondie” in that movie.
Then I’d have to say the urban set western, Gran Turino, is my second favorite. It is very inspiring for me.
Hey Blake….good to see another member of The Good The Bad and The Ugly fan club….as I have gotten older the more and more I appreciate Eli Wallach as The Ugly…..I think he has the best part in the movie….it is amazing what happens when you get older.
I liked Gran Torino as well….I was very disappointed when he did not get an Oscar nom….especially since he said it was going to be his last performance….but thankfully he is currently filming another movie now about a baseball scout….and he plays the scout…..thanks for the comment and for stopping by.
I think Clint’s page deserves a super upgrade Brucerson. The man is a living legend and I don’t want to use the other word while Flora is within reading distance. 🙂
Hey Steve….I think you are correct a Clint super upgrade is needed….and he has earned the right to two hubs as well….I could update this one ….and take out all the director movies….and then do a Clint director page….which makes sense as Clint the movie star has a much different reputation than Clint the acclaimed director. So much to do so little time to do it.
Thought I’d stop by and talk about which films I’ve seen since I didn’t do it before:
As a director I have seen 5 of the top ten. I have seen 13 of his films, mostly crime/suspense. That is 40%.
As an actor I have seen 7 of the top ten. I have seen 18 of his titles or 40% of his films.
So I have seen roughly the same number of films of his a director or actor.
Anything with Dirty Harry, FBI, suspense etc. of his I have seen or looking . This includes recent films. It’s when we talk of westerns that I have seen only some of them.
Hey Flora thanks for stopping by. Well I know I will at least earn a tie with Steve in this tally count. As I have seen all 45 of his movies listed here….and have seen every movie he directed except for J. Edgar…which I was going to see but the reviews were so average I figure I will wait until DVD. So that will give me 100% on Clint the actor and 97% on Clint the director.
Actually looking at this hub, I am thinking it needs an update and probably needs to have a page for each of his two jobs…one page on the actor and one page on the director. It was good to see that Clint the director got a mention in your 100th page…
You are welcome Flora for the link.
I love this! Clint Eastwood is probably the only actor today who can draw me to the theater.
I am right there with you Dustin….I am sad that there will probably not be in more Clint Eastwood acting movies…but at least he keeps busy behind the camera…his latest looks like it could be very good…J. Edgar opens next month…thanks for stopping by.
