I am partial to Unforgiven, particularly the ending.

But I have not seen Outlaw Josey Wales.
I’m going to put it on my downtime to-do list.

Josey Wales was exdellent..

But for me.. It’s the Good, The Bad and the Ugly as the definitive go to Eastwood classic...

Eastwood, Wallach and Van Cleef. amazing all together.

I’ve been watching the western anthology series “Death Valley Days” the past six weeks. I was startled to see Clint in a small role in “The Last Letter” episode which aired Dec 8, 1956. He appeared in a couple of TV shows in 1955, so this was among his earliest acting gigs.

Gonna have to disagree here...
The best is Kelly’s Heroes.

My group of male friends from college regularly uses "catch phrases" from The Outlaw Josey Wales - nearly 50 years later.

"It's for lookin' through"

"Doin' right ain't got no end"

"Dyin' ain't much of a livin', boy"

Granny Hawkins: "I say that big talk's worth doodly-squat"

"I ain't promising you nothing extra"

"It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double-tongues"

"Hell is coming to breakfast"

There are more memorable lines in Wales than most movies that is for sure. Like “Dying ain’t much of a living” Classic.

You know what to do. You won’t be at all disappointed.

Kelly’s Heroes is the only movie where Eastwood gets upstaged by another actor. Sorry but “Telly” Savalas steals Kelly’s Heroes.
