The three Eastwood movies mentioned are among my favorites. Actors and behind-the-scenes types offered an entertaining product.

Me too...also Hang Em High, those four I never get tired of watching, the movies I can watch over and over again, with exception of these movies, once I’ve seen it I don’t care or desire to ever see it again.
