Movies Clint Eastwood’s Best Film Last 25 Years

[The Good The Bad The HBK]

In the last 25 years, what would you say is Clint Eastwood's best film?

For me I would say it's Mystic River. It has one of the best overall casts (Sean Penn, Tim Robbins, Kevin Bacon, Laurence Fishbourne) it also has the 2 best male performances of the last 25 years in a Eastwood film in Penn & Robbins. This would have won film of the year if it didn't have to go up against LOTR Return of the King.

In order for me:

1. Mystic River
2. Million Dollar Baby
3. The Mule
4. Letters From Iwo Jima
5. Changeling

I like Gran Torino but that film suffers from having one of the weakest cast in any Eastwood film. Eastwood aside the acting is pretty bad and I think people like it just because of Clint's character which is fine but it doesn't make for his best film imo.

I enjoyed Gran Torino the most. The bad acting from the Asian kids fit their characters just fine IMO.

 

[SKYNET]

I haven't seen a new Clint Eastwood movie in over 25 years.

Gran Torino. Eastwood is very aware of his persona and plays it up perfectly. Anyone who grew up with his films had a shit eating grin on their face the whole time. Plus the theme of sacrifice hits hard.

 

[Natural Order]

Mystic River, and it’s not even close.

I somehow had no idea Mystic River was an Eastwood film until about 30 seconds ago. Was gonna vote Gran Torino, but Mystic River takes it by miles.

On a side note, I really enjoyed Letters from Iwo Jima, and him showing the Japanese side of that all.

I thought it was one of the best war films of the 2000s

Which do you recommend? Never been the biggest fan but Dirty Harry is one of my fav characters and Good Bad & Ugly is easily in my top 10 goats of all genres

I went with Grand Torino because I enjoyed it most but Mystic River is no joke and is a better film.

He has an admirable list there.

Gran Torino and The Mule. Million Dollar Baby isn't bad. Alot of the movies on that list he isn't in he just directed.

It seemed spot on for Hmong people to me.

I'm probably in the minority but i don't care much for clints director work. He seems old school cool and i respect that a lot.

But man his movies that I've seen are too saccharine and mushy.


Clint Eastwood makes movies like a woman.
