Clint Eastwood turns 90 next month and he’s still making and starring in movies.
Eastwood, who first appeared on screen in 1955, most recently starred as an elderly drug runner in 2018’s “The Mule” and last year directed “Richard Jewell.”
The longest-running Hollywood icon, Eastwood, who also served as mayor of Carmel, California, in the 1980s, has acted in 50 movies — starring in 42 — and directed 43 pictures.
Over the last 65 years, he’s acted opposite an orangutan, tried his hand at a musical — his “singing” in “Paint Your Wagon” has to be heard to be believed — created a pair of iconic characters, the Man with No Name and “Dirty Harry" Callahan, and won four Oscars for movies he directed.
Here are my picks for the top 10 Eastwood pictures, presented in chronological order. This new batch of flicks could come in handy with another weekend of staying home (and staying safe).

This is a fun, recent article - if you enjoy laughing at a torrent of leftist bleating and hand-wringing.
I'll bet it put a smile on Clint's face, though.
Loved Spacecowboys! Enjoyed every moment of that movie.
Happy Birthday Mr. Eastwood!
Fly me to the moon.....
I agree. The Outlaw Josey Wales is his best. It is the only Western or movie I have seen that accurately describes the motivation for many in Missouri to fight with Quantrill. This includes four of my ancestors and even several of Harry S. Truman’s family.
Mr. Eastwood has been a fav for along time. Dead Pool wasn’t a bad movie. Kinda hokie though
______________________________
Dead Pool had many memorable scenes...
Shoot out in Chinatown...Car chase involving the small car...
Stopping a suicide...
Liam Neeson and Jim Carrey were in that film also...
The Rookie (1990) and Blood Work (2002) were also directed by Clint E.
One of my all time favorite lines from a movie is Dirty Harry’s from “Magnum Force.”
“Man’s got to know his limitations.”
_______________________________
Magnum Force had some famous people in it...
David Soul, Robert Urich, and Hal Holbrook...
Oh man, Susan Dey, there was one of my biggest schoolboy crushes, right there.

LOL, I remember when she hosted SNL, and the skit with “The Richmeister”......”No copies for the Partridge Girl.......Laurie Partridge, not really playing the keyboards.”
I remember the “Dirty Larry” skit from “Hollywood Shuffle”...
