Arguably Eastwood's most underrated western. Had it been made at the end of his career, as was Unforgiven, I dare say that THIS might be the film everyone talks about.
The Outlaw Josey Wales is a just decent movie. Nothing really stood out here for me but at the same time it wasn't horrible. Clint Eastwood had some great one-liners and his chemistry with Chief Dan George was great. Oh, and I liked how Sondra Locke was supposed to be retarded. O...( read more)

2. Unforgiven
3. The Good, ...( read more)
