Clint Eastwood Movies

Clint Eastwood Movies are always emotive often full of action and with a half decent story line.

Clinton "Clint" Eastwood, Jr. (born May 31, 1930) is an American actor and filmmaker.

Clint Eastwood is best-known as an actor for his tough guy, anti-hero acting roles in action and western movies, particularly in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. His performances as the laconic Man with No Name in Sergio Leone's "Dollars trilogy" of spaghetti westerns which include A Fistful of Dollars (1964), For a Few Dollars More (1965) and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966), and as Inspector "Dirty" Harry Callahan in the Dirty Harry movies have seen him become an enduring icon of masculinity.[1]

Clint Eastwood has won five Academy Awards for his movies twice each as Best Director and as producer of the Best Picture and the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award in 1995. He has also been nominated twice for Best Actor, for his performances in Unforgiven and Million Dollar Baby. His recent films in particular, like Million Dollar Baby (2004) and Letters from Iwo Jima (2006), and also earlier Revisionist Western films such as High Plains Drifter (1973), The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976) and Unforgiven (1992) have all received a significant degree of critical acclaim.

Clint Eastwood also has an interest in politics and was elected Mayor of Carmel-by-the-Sea, California in which he served from 1986 to 1988.
