Is 90 today..I remember back in 1990 there was a season of his films on the TV ..Eastwood at 60. How fast does time go? I will be 60 myself in another decade. Happy birthday Mr Eastwood and keep up the good work.

A genuine hero of mine...and the reason why I own a vintage root beer! My personal favourite...In The Line Of Fire.

In the early 80’s my mum used to go out one night every other week to Ladies Circle on a Monday night and after the news at 9.25pm there would often be a film on and it was normally starring Clint Eastwood. My dad would sometimes let me stay up and watch them with him. Always let me have a beer with a lemonade top and a packet of crisps. From that moment on I was a Clint Eastwood fan, still am. His films back then were just totally cool to a young teenager - Outlaw Josey Wales, Pale Rider, The Good, The Bad etc etc.
Funny what memories stay with you.
I've always liked Clint from the days when he played Rowdy Yates in Rawhide, happy birthday.
My late father's favourite actor, some of that rubbed off on me.
"Right turn, Clyde"
scared me, I thought from the title he might have died
Outlaw Josey Wales saying.
"Don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining!"
Gave me a start as well. Not Dead Yet (NDY) in the title would have helped.Originally Posted by bitt3n
One of my all time favourites even if some of his films were, well, hit and miss. I used to be glued to the old black and white TV to watch Rawhide and I was sad for a week if he didn't appear in that week's episode. He's having a great career.
“Clint Eastwood - 90 today”. Would have sufficed.
perhaps a typecast actor, but what a career as actor and director.

Great actor, and loved those spaghetti westerns, cool.
for me i think he has become a formidable director and i hope when the time comes he will be remembered for that as much as his acting.

Spent an afternoon in the BFI watching A Fist Full of Dollars, A Few Dollars More and The Good the Bad and the Ugly. Certainly better than attending lectures.
Josey Wales was also a cracker.

My all times favourite actor

One of my favourites as well. Remember watching the westerns with my dad when I was a kid.....loved them.
Hard to pick
So many greats
Outlaw Josey Wales takes a lot of beating.
Saw "The Mule" recently and it brought a tear to my eye.
Jesus, I opened this thinking he'd died.
The same terrible thought crossed my mind.
Surely the title should be Happy Birthday Clint Eastwood
A genuine Hollywood legend.
Loved watching his films growing up.
‘Right Turn Clyde!’ Every which way but loose - was a firm favourite!

Love his films.

Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.
To me your nothing but dogshit

What to say, he’s a true icon
Been a firm fixture in my life for almost 50 years!
As with others a staple when growing up. The spaghetti westerns were the best, dubbed to hell, but classic.

Great trio and timeless.
Bit of trivia that astonished me
He is allergic to horses
i have enjoyed nearly all of his work,but the outlaw Josey Wales was the best,seen it countless times ,i think its the best western film ever,belated happy birthday Clint.
Morning All
Carrying on the Clint theme.. the cemetery set (Sad Hill) used in the classic final scene from The Good the Bad and the Ugly, has been restored to its former glory and you can now visit the site in Spain

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is definitely my favourite. Others I have a soft spot for - Dirty Harry and Magnum Force (the other Harry films were poor IMO), Kelly's Heroes, The Gauntlet, Where Eagles Dare (though Richard Burton owns that one).
I enjoyed Heartbreak Ridge the first time I saw it, in the '80s. But I saw it again a few years ago and thought it was rubbish.
I genuinely thought this was going to be an RIP thread. Phew!
Brilliant actor and director. I rewatched A Fistful of Dollars the other night. Fantastic!
Play Misty For Me.
Clint at his best, although to be fair he was in most.

Gran Torino is a bit of classic too.

Brilliant that one, always makes me smile!

I agree, a great film, I think.
