One of my favorites is “Two Mules for Sister Sarah.”
I am still surprised that his R. Jewell movie didn’t do better at the box office. Maybe it was crowded out by more splashy, Disney type entertainment. Or some sort of Star Wars film may have stolen the show.
Eastwood is still incredible, though.
I suspect his ongoing work as a director is keeping him in a functioning state. If a workhorse like Clint were to fully retire, he would probably begin to lose his health not soon afterward. If he was already into a lighter, easier schedule, a retirement would be less of a shock to the system.
I know much younger people, those in their 40’s, and work is their main reason for living.

Eastwood has never made a bad movie, IMHO. Personal all-time favorites for me are tied: Dirty Harry and The Good, The Bad & The Ugly.
Best wishes to him for a happy 90th. Even though he’s up there in age now, he STILL has the same steely glare that scared the crap out of his opponents and set women’s hearts swooning.
Bridges of Madison County?
Over 20 comments so far and no mention of “High Plains Drifter”?
Let’s just call that one “less brilliant”. :-)
The Eiger Sanction
But seriously, could you have a more polar opposite than Meryl Streep?
“...Clint Eastwood turns 90 next month ...”
Holy crap... 90...hard to believe.
To me, one of his best ever: “Where Eagles Dare”.
Ouch!
"Man's got to know his limitations."
Nobody has mentioned American Sniper. I thought it was great.
Firefox was good.
I always try to hunt for Where Eagles Dare on some cold, snowy afternoon...Great action movie...
Clint looks in better shape than Bill does in that picture
“And if I was a half as ugly as you, Sergeant Major, I’d be a poster boy for a prophylactic.”
The Dead Pool is the only Dirty Harry film I’ve never watched all the way through. And what I did see of it was not very good.
Best Dirty Harry scene, ever, really takes some nice pot shots at the “Woke” culture....
