But there is something almost paternal about it – perhaps that comes from the fact he’s been in our cinematic lives for fifty years.

I’ve only ever seen it the once and to be honest it didn’t leave a huge impression on me. However, I think that is more my own failing than that of the film so it is one that I’ve been intending to watch again and re-evaluate.

Of course, I should have mentioned Play Misty For Me. It was Eastwood’s directorial debut, Don Siegel has a cameo, it’s a precursor to Fate Attraction and there is a really odd sex scene in the middle of some forest. Apparently Will Smith is going to play the lead in an upcoming remake. Sigh.

I’ve only seen it the once and a long time ago so I can’t really comment. But I do remember liking it.

Bronco Billy is another one that many Eastwood fans often rate highly and at the risk of destroying all credibility, I’m going to have to confess to not having seen it yet. It is, however, one that I’ve been long aware of needing to see so I’ll move it up my list thanks to your recommendation.

I think you should have drawn the line just after that one. But really, I always had a soft spot for Pale Rider. Am I alone on that one? Something about the lighting, it’s almost always dusk. Gives the film this tremendous “lonely” quality. Can I get a Wit-ness-a?

There are of course heaps more Eastwood films that I could have mentioned but I had to draw the line somewhere. But, people are more than welcome to add their suggestions and thoughts here.
