I saw the movie at the drive in when I was seven years old. Loved it then and I love it now. And when I was in ROTC and it was time to pick a branch, I picked armor, based on that movie and the movie Patton. Spent four years four wheel driving, blowing things up and thinking I was Oddball. A great four years before I grew up👍
Wikipedia says of White Hunter: “The film has an 83% positive rating on review-aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes, and the consensus reads: "White Hunter Black Heart is powerful, intelligent, and subtly moving, a fascinating meditation on masculinity and the insecurities of artists.” But financially it was a bomb.
Your telling us here that 'The Bridges Of Madison County' is an ATB (all time blockbuster), your highest rating, and yet 'The Outlaw Jose Wales' is only a blockbuster, not an ATB. That's ridiculous. Josey Wales is one of the most popular western movies of all time, especially Clint Eastwood flicks. I have serious doubt about the accuracy of the ratings in this video, no way Josey Wales is not an ATB. Nonsense
Great list! I’m impressed. I didn’t watch all of Eastwoods’s movies (I don’t plan to) but I enjoyed the ones I did watch except Play Misty for Me and The Gauntlet which I thought were horrible. I’m glad to see they were hits though. 🙂
Eastwood's film 'The Outlaw Josey Wales' is based on a book written by Forrest Carter in 1972 _The Rebel Outlaw: Josey Wales._ Forrest Carter was not his real name. His real name was Asa Earl Carter: Asa Earl Carter (September 4, 1925 - June 7, 1979) was a 1950s segregationist political activist, Ku Klux Klan organizer, and later Western novelist. He co-wrote George Wallace's well-known pro-segregation line of 1963, "Segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever", and ran in the Democratic primary for governor of Alabama on a white supremacist ticket. Years later, under the pseudonym of supposedly Cherokee writer Forrest Carter, he wrote The Rebel Outlaw: Josey Wales (1972), a Western novel that led to a 1976 film - The Oulaw Josey Wales - featuring Clint Eastwood that was adopted into the National Film Registry, and The Education of Little Tree (1976), a best-selling, award-winning book which was marketed as a memoir but which turned out to be fiction. In 1976, following the success of The Rebel Outlaw and its film adaptation The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976), The New York Times revealed Forrest Carter was actually Asa Carter.[1] His background became national news again in 1991 after his purported memoir, The Education of Little Tree (1976), was re-issued in paperback, topped the Times paperback best-seller lists (both non-fiction and fiction), and won the American Booksellers Book of the Year (ABBY) award. In the memoir Carter claimed to be Cherokee and/or of Cherokee descent but this has been shown to be a complete fabrication. Prior to his literary career as "Forrest", Carter was politically active for years in Alabama as an opponent of the civil rights movement. In the mid 1950s, he had a syndicated segregationist radio show, and worked as a speech writer for segregationist Governor George Wallace of Alabama. He also founded the North Alabama Citizens Council (NACC), an independent offshoot of the White Citizens' Council movement formed by Carter when the White Citizens' Council tried to moderate Carter's antisemitism. He also formed the militant and violent Ku Klux Klan group known as the Original Ku Klux Klan of the Confederacy, and started a monthly publication titled The Southerner which spread white supremacist and anti-communist rhetoric.

All I know is he made a lot of people wealthy and himself , good for him ❤ Won’t beat his western films and as for Dirty Harry say no more , he is a superstar and a legend not a celebrity as that is well below this man’s status tbh BLONDIEEEE😂
What’s ATB? If blockbuster can be spelled out; at least type that out. Lazy. I can’t hear the dude talking with such low tone with stupid background music.
Question, what did Eastwood have to do with Casper? Unless his production company, Malpaso, produced it. Also, where is Flags Of Our Fathers and Letters From Iwo Jima?
IMHO ''The Outlaw Josey Wales'' is his best western. ''High Plains Drifter'' and ''Paler Rider'' are the same. And a shame he did not get a Best Actor nod for ''The Mule''.
NGL, I am impressed that the robot voice can imitate the Bollywood pronunciation. NGL = not gonna lie, and also not gonna listen. Neerha Ghadra Lhasmanasoprana.
@@graphicdesigner7650Yes he was. We went to the local theater and watched it when it came out.Barely got thru it.Never watched it again since then.Lousy movie.
Eastwood is in top league of great film stars! The only stinkers I have seen are: The Beguiled - dull and boring. Every Which Way but Loose - dull comedy with meaningless title. Any Which Way You Can - ditto He wasn’t in Breezy!
