One of my complaints about many Clint Eastwood movies is that they are nihilist at their core and don't incorporate many of the classic Western themes.

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is a great movie in some ways, but it's got the wrong name. There Ain't No Good Guys Among These Three might have been more appropriate.

Say what you will about Blondie, but he did have a code and he adhered to it.

I agree entirely. I personally boycott those films for that reason (along with The Godfather series, which, to me, glorifies murderous criminality).

A personal choice: I do not begrudge others enjoying Clint Eastwood in them.

I also avoid Once Upon a Time in the West. The western genre was generally subverted by Commiewood by the end of the 60s. Silverado, for me, was a surprising pleasure, given that personal honor is a key theme.
