McQueen or Eastwood?

Being one of the Greatest Westers is hardly an acheivement...All westerns are pants.

Yep, the Good the bad and the ugly is THE greatest western ever made!!

But one of Steve's most famous movies was a western!

 

[cheddar cheese]

I know. Even though Steve was in it, I still hate the damn film

A Fist Full of Dollars was a copied from a Japanese film so was the Magnificent Seven they just changed them into westerns neither was as good as the originals Leones best western was Once apon a time in the West with no Eastwood although i must admit The G,B&U was brilliant and made all the better by Ennio Morricone's teriffic film score The Ecstasy of Gold and The Trio are classic movie moments. Morricone as im sure you know wrote all of Sergio leones film scores Ive been to little hollywood in Spain and most of the sets from a Few Dollars more are still there.
I still think Mcqueen was cooler Eastwood playing a gunnery sarg in Heart Break Ridge was hilarious silly old sod running about in combat, get real.
He had more lines across his face than the bleeding Somme had trenches and that stupid grumbling voice he put on about as ferocious as Danny Kay in Walter Mitty

The Unforgiven is a great western, Clint Eastwood.

 

[trackend]

Agreed D it is his best film by a mile i rate it along side High noon

Eastwood is also an amazing director with the likes of The Unforgiven and Mystic River...but that's not in the interest of 'cool' so...yeah.

Ouch......

As far as anything goes, Clints acting in Josey Wales was one of the greatest movie accomplishments regarding the Civil War and its brutal aftermath...
