There's an excellent documentary on him on prime. Well worth watching for any fans.
I had a serious brain fart. Thanks for the correction.
Im going to throw out
Magnum Force, Fistful of Dollars, The Eiger Sanction and Firefox.

I love his movies and productions as a film director. Thanks to him, my home province (Almeria) is famous for his Spaghetti westerns. A good man. I don't understand how he doesn't like tobacco, joking, hahahahahahaha. God bless him always.
I regret that I didn't get to the town and the saloon where some of his movies were shot while I was in Spain. Maybe next summer. I hope to spend a month in Portugal and Italy with some visits back to Spain. Perhaps I'll buy a Fez in the Moroccan quarter near @JOHN72 and bring some of the guys up to his place to drink some of his whiskey, LOL.
Hey telescopes friend. That would be great. You are welcome to my home. Come soon my friend.

As a kid growing up in the 1980's I probably watched Any Which Way But Lose about a hundred times. I liked Heartbreak Ridge and Play Misty For Me, as well.
Unforgiven and Dirty Harry are 2 of my favourite movies of all time.

The worst thing I've ever heard about him is that he didn't actually enjoy smoking the Toscanos..
Clyde the orangutan was in Every Which Way But Loose and Any Which Way You Can, and Clint drove a pickup. Those were funny and entertaining films.
Pink Cadillac was a different movie...Clyde wasn't in it. But it does stand out as his absolute worst movie. In fact it's one of those that are so bad it's good.
Play Misty for Me was the original Fatal Attraction, and didn't really get the acclaim it deserved.
And yes, jazz is another side of him. If anyone has not seen his magnificent film on Charlie Parker, "Bird", with Forest Whitaker, you should make a point of watching it.
Clint's son Kyle is a jazz musician, btw.
??? - Never heard he smoked Toscanos. I read that when traveling to make the Spaghetti westerns he grabbed his gear from the rawhide set ... poncho and gunbelt and snake grip gun as well as a box of Marsh Wheeling Stogies. As he had only the one box he used to cut them in half to get through the whole script. Don't know which is true now.
I don't know if true, but I think he didn't like tobacco. I also didn't hear anything about whether he liked to drink a good whiskey, distillate, or a good wine.
I can't say I've seen all of Clint's movies but Unforgiven was sublime.
Perhaps the GOAT. He's been around forever and I've found all his movies entertaining. Gran Torino is a classic for me. And he's versatile, played lots a different roles.
My understanding is he tends to his health so, smoking wouldn't be something I'd expect of him. Probably one of the reasons he stays so active in his dotage.
I am sure that they are out there but I can't think of a bad Clint Eastwood movie. Hell his recent stuff really hits. Although at this point he is playing only Clint Eastwood up on screen.
I agree about Hereafter...anyone who has not seen that one really should check it out.
And among the great films that he has directed but not acted in, another that I would highly recommend (in addition to Bird) is Changeling, which is based on a true story, and didn't seem to get a lot of attention, but IMO it is a truly great film and not to be missed.
