- Unforgiven (1992) Action and adventure. Eastwood’s masterpiece sums up an iconic career in Westerns, crucially poking a hole in the violent mythmaking that the star himself perpetuated for so long.
- The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976) Action and adventure. This muscular and captivating Civil War revenge saga, adapted from a novel by noted white supremacist Forrest Carter, is about a renegade who joins up with a gang of pro-Confederate guerrillas.
- High Plains Drifter (1973) Action and adventure. Look closely at Clint’s second movie – and his first Western as director – and you might spot a pair of gravestones bearing the names Sergio Leone and Don Siegel. ‘
- Bird (1988) Drama. This expansive biopic of jazz pioneer Charlie Parker is uncompromised by hagiography or any sell-out to mainstream tastes. Instead it shows the gulf between musical genius and personal frailties bitterly exacerbated by the circumstances of a mid-century black man, a story told with a simmering undercurrent of anger and sadness.

Cry Machois likely going to be the final Western Clint Eastwood will ever make. No one's going to call it one of his greatest, but it's still surprisingly good and certainly bittersweet, with Eastwood directing and starring in this movie about an ex-rodeo star helping an old boss by traveling to Mexico to find said boss's missing son. It's a fairly low-stakes and perhaps even relaxing film, which feels fitting, given its star and director was in his early 90s when it got made. It's a solid sw...

It's silly enough that perhaps some would call it more of a so-bad-it's-good movie rather than a genuinely good one, but either way, there is a certain stupid appeal to Every Which Way but Loose. It's a largely plot-free movie, and follows a man and his orangutan as they go through life causing chaos and getting into various fights. It was nevertheless a hugely successful movie as far as the box office was concerned, and has a certain novelty for being perhaps the goofiest movie Eastwood ever...

Not quite a classic biopic/historical drama film, but still a pretty good one, Sully tells the dramatic real-life story of Captain ‘Sully’ Sullenberger, a pilot played by Tom Hanks. The film details how he saved the lives of 155 passengers on board his plane by making a risky landing onto the Hudson River, and then follows the aftermath ofg the incident, including how Sullenberger was investigated in a manner that threatened his public image and career. It probably peaks early, thanks to the...

Standing as one of Clint Eastwood's more underrated movies, Blood Workshows the director in solid late-career form, given he was in his 70s by the time he made this one. It follows an FBI profiler coming out of retirement to investigate a case surrounding a serial killer, as he believes his own blood analysis may provide a clue to this person's identity. It takes itself seriously, but there are a few offbeat moments throughout that give it some additional personality, and the supporting cast,...
Appeared as Inspector "Dirty" Harry Callahan
The Dirty Harry series could often be relied on to provide solid action movie fare, and besides the original, the best in the series would have to be the second movie, Magnum Force. It's about Police Inspector Harry Callahan investigating a group of shady police officers, and making certain startling discoveries that continually place him in further danger. It's the kind of movie where viewers will know what they're getting in for, and those expecting a gritty and fast-paced - if sometimes si...

Play Misty for Me was a significant Eastwood film, seeing as it was his directorial debut. He would grow as a director over the coming decades, arguably peaking as late as the 1990s or even the 2000s, meaning Play Misty for Mecertainly isn't one of his very best, but it's more than solid. It's a thriller about a disc jockey having an interaction with a particularly intense fan who becomes obsessed with him, with her behavior gradually escalating towards violence. It's worth watching for Arres...

After spending much of the 1960s playing Western characters, Clint Eastwood ended up keeping the Western streak going by making his first role of the 1970s a Western one. The film in question is Two Mules for Sister Sara, which pairs a mercenary with a nun in the Old West, following the surprisingly explosive adventure they end up going on together. Eastwood stars with Shirley MacLaine, who plays the title character and is arguably the Western's female protagonist. It delivers classic Western...
Appeared as Colonel Francis D. "Frank" Corvin, Ph.D., USAF
Despite the title, Space Cowboys is certainly not a Western. It's instead a rare movie about space travel that's not science-fiction, with it following four men who used to be involved with the Air Force - and early steps towards space travel - in the late 1950s who are brought back into the fold some 40 years later for a dangerous mission. It was directed by Eastwood and features him playing the lead role, with a strong supporting cast including Tommy Lee Jones, Donald Sutherland, and James...
Appeared as Kelly
30 years before Space Cowboys, Clint Eastwood and Donald Sutherland starred in another movie together: Kelly's Heroes. It presents a surprisingly comedic story set during World War II, centering on a group of American soldiers who team up to go behind enemy lines to rob a bank. In being an irreverent war movie that emphasizes humor, it scratches a similar itch to the (admittedly more serious) M*A*S*H, also released in 1970 and also starring Donald Sutherland. Few of the comedies Eastwood's st...
Appeared as Corporal John 'McBee' McBurney
Though the 2017 Sofia Coppola adaptation of The Beguiledis likely better known to modern viewers, this 1971 version shouldn't be overlooked. It takes place during the American Civil War, and centers on a soldier from the North (played by Eastwood) having to seek refuge at a Southern school, where seven women tend to him and also appear to fall for him. Far from being a romantic film, though, it's more tense and dramatic in nature, with conflict arising when it becomes clear the women may not...
