Gee, these writers...how does one “take confession”?

I haven’t seen the flic, but his character sounds like the same one from million dollar baby...Not that it would be a bad thing I guess...

I bought a brand new 1976 Gran Torino station wagon (yellow with faux wood siding). It was a great car especially for someone starting a family who had to haul playpens, toys, etc everywhere you went. I had bought a 73 Toyota Celica for $3200 and after 3 years traded it in for the same amount on the Ford.

I have loved the Starsky & Hutch Gran Torino since always. It was a lot of why I watched the show as a kid. Now I have all of the DVD's.

I have seen this movie referred to as...Gunny Highway meets Grumpier Old Men...and meant as a compliment.

One of the best movies I’ve seen in a long while. Clint will win the best actor award for this one.

And how does a strong emotion tough its way through Korea, and how can all he wants from life retire with a dog?

Clint Eastwood makes this movie great. I felt that way about Swing Vote too: Costner was the draw--fabulous. Although Gran Torino is the better movie. Slow-paced but powerful. I'm still laughing at the scenes where Thao learns to act like a guy.
To: firebrand
My uncle had a friend who killed a man with his bare hands in a bar fight at 71 years old. Clint here reminds me of that guy.

Don't pick fights with old guys, if they can't beat you, they'll have to kill you.
My kids bought the same vintage (72) Gran Torino a few years back to hot rod. I think I will de-safe my Garand and stand in front of it and have a picture took.

Good Movie,it was nice to see a man stand up and fight the bad guys instead of running and hiding like many do today.
To: Smogger
I watched this last night. Awesome, powerful movieGood story that they didn't execute on. The acting was horrible. The priest just read his lines like he was reading a book. Flat & unemmotional. And, the 2 asian characters were terrible. I can't believe they couldn't find decent actors.
