I like a Pale Rider... I don’t know if I’d go terrible on it. The girl yelling at the end was cheesy as shit but most of Eastwood’s westerns have that moment.

On Her Majesty’s Secret Service is rough. I mean. Yeah.

Kind of a rip-off of Shane, though. However, the film holds up well; I was about 15 when it came out, and that was about how old the daughter was, and I thought she was hot. Now I am as old as the mom, and I think she's hot.

That's a well-planned film

Sydney Penny was on a Soap my wife watched while we were dating. I was informed of this as she recognized the girl in the movie. Google says she aged fairly well.

There are just so many odd story lines (I know it's a Clint western) like where the guy finds a giant gold piece and goes to town to really commit suicide.

Patrick Swayze made a career doing bad but good films.

So my choice is Red Dawn. It was patriotic at the time.

It gets only a 6.4 score on IMDB.

Liberals hated it, because the Wolverines weren't nice to the foreign invaders.

check out Term Life, if only to laugh at Vince Vaughn's ridiculous hair piece and terrible script and acting.

IN.


I would also attend and will leave any time Kelly Lynch walks through a parking lot because I've seen that part already.

Majesty's is one of the great Bond films of all time. OF ALL TIME.

Lazenby got a bad rap because of a horribly directed opening sequence. It's beautifully filmed, great score, Louis Armstrong's last recording, incredible ending.

It's so good they are remaking it right now as Spectre and the next movie will almost certainly start with the end of Majesty's.

I could go on. I will refrain.

Murder by death is a classic. It's not a terrible movie that you love.

Scavenger Hunt. Think campy late 70’s version of “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World” with well known but mostly B-list stars. Look at the names that were in it...http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079858/fullcredits?ref_=tt_ql_1

I don't disagree, the anger over losing Connery over money clouded everything about what a movie I've always made must see tv.

It just never felt right to me. Maybe because it’s a one and done for Lazenby. I should probably give it another chance. There are a few that have grown on me that were not initial favorites.

I have to disagree that Pale Rider could be considered a bad film.

Ranking Eastwood's westerns, there's Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Then Outlaw Josey. And third is Pale Rider.

Lee Van Cleef is great in a Few Dollars More, but it isn't a very good film. Like the scene where Cleef is shooting the hat in the air for 5 minutes. It's just absurd. Fistful of Dollars is worse than a Few Dollars More, because of the bad overdubbing of the voices and senseless massacre scenes. I found it stupid.

At least Pale Rider had a good plot and casting and excellent cinematography with the mountain scenes. And it had Richard Kiel, a.k.a. Jaws. The ending scene is quintessential Eastwood.

Unforgiven would be forgettable, if not for Richard Harris and Gene Hackman. It's a bad #MeeToo movie. One of the worst films ever to win an Oscar.

If I had to pick a bad but good Eastwood film, it would be Firefox. One of my all-time favorites growing up, but not a critics choice. "You must think in Russian, not in English!"
