That’s evocative , my dad took me to movies in the 70’s. Saw Zulu and The Man Who would be king in the same year, I was about 8. Left a lasting impression and they’re in my top 10. Spend a lot of the time thinking of my late dad while I’m watching them. He was away on a training course when he watched outlaw josey wales, I was too young but he told me all about it. Lord I miss him.
@@issyjas3309 Miss mine, too. In the 80’s, every time we went to the video store, I would bypass the kids section and pick an Eastwood movie instead because I knew he would watch it with me.
Even the one where he's a drug mule was good...even a 'Bad' Clint Movie beats a modern day CGI flick like Marvel Avengers etc...I mean Clint shared billing with an Orangutan, but actors these days share billing with CGI Racoons FFS...
"That's right. I am William Munny, killer of women and children. And now I'm here to kill you, Lil Bill." That was the Eastwood swan song -- and it was almost 35 years ago.
Clint Eastwood is the kind of man other men respect and admire. And that’s the biggest compliment I can give him. His work will be watched, loved and studied a hundred years from now. Legend.
My son is 25 and a big fan of Clint Eastwood, he literally has all his movies on bluray/dvd, including the ones he's directed without acting in it. Of course I introduced him to the man.
Eastwood more than an actor, he is a wonderful director whose movies never get old, so I'm amazed by his capacity to continue making movies despite being a 90-years-old man. Regarding his films, my dad, who passed away, was a big fan of Eastwood's movies and especially, from The good the badt and the ugly. In fact, a few days ago I saw Million Dollar baby and I found it so meaningful, I apologize if I get emotional what happens that sometimes I wish I had been that movie with my dad.
@@sebastianalegria3401 I'm not the person you asked but I would say either Unforgiven or Gran Torino because of how well he was able to portray a leading role as an older man.
I just love the passion Quentin has for movies. I've always loved Clint, but hearing Quentin speak about him has me fired up. QT just has a way of describing movies that hits differently than anyone else.
One of my favourite film watching memories is… one night me and my brother stayed up late and watched “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly”. It was next level for us… the best thing we’d ever seen, and heard.
My friend and I used to have a Clint Eastwood night every week back in early 90's. We would rent 2 -3 Clint Eastwood movies Westerns and Dirty Harrys were always the choices, sit back have a beer and some good whiskey and just watch non-stop till they were all finished! One of my movies icons hands down!
And while most consider it a forgettable movie, in any action flick dealing with futuristic fighter jets these jets looks exactly like this Firefox jet.
@@einundsiebenziger5488 honestly the dogfighting scenes are such a small part of the overall movie it doesnt really matter how they look on the screen these days, and it doesnt take anything away from the movie.
It’s clear that Quentin is passionate about great film and great actors and because he knows his craft so well, he’s one of the best to pay tribute to an iconic actor and director like Clint.
They didn't even need to give Clint all that many lines because he says more with his eyes and facial expressions you definitely get the point he's making. He has some of the most iconic lines to this day though. An absolute legend.
When you listen to a student of film like Quentin speak on these matters, not that there’s an abundance of these… It’s the analysis that matters, the analysis that cuts through. This a true student recognizing one of his true masters in the art form. It’s great stuff.
@@Gamevet John Wayne hated Clint Eastwood. He didn't like the "anti-hero" and violence portrayed in his westerns. Wayne wanted westerns to be more positive and people should be cheering for the correct character.
Mr. Clint Eastwood is the most iconic and most badass actor that ever graced the screen, one of my personal heroes growing up and a living legend, there is no other actor past or present that enjoys respect and admiration as much as he does.
I am 46 now and my father passed 3 years ago.When I was a kid my dad loved Clint and we watched all his movies together.He is my favorite actor of all time and his movies give me such fond memories of my dad.I now watch them with my son and hope that someday he feels the same way.
My favourite scene in Firefox is when he's jogging in Alaska and starts sprinting towards his log cabin when he sees the military helicopter triggering his PTSD. The film isn't his best work for sure but it's certainly still above average and enjoyable for the most part.
One of Clint Eastwood’s finest films is “Thunderbolt and Lightfoot” and he gets outstaged by a legendary performance from his young co-star; Jeff Bridges.
John Wayne was a phoney, one-dimensional actor who only portrayed The Duke. Not in either of Jimmy or Clint's league, in terms of talent. Fame doesn't equate talent...unfortunately, much of the general public's blinded by hype & including their bad taste...Garth Brooks is another example.
@@loilt5091 Just to throw this out there, I'm not a huge John Wayne fan but I like some of his movies and I respect his career. I don't see him overrated because nobody is saying John Wayne was the best actor but he was a hell of a movie star and not too many actors have as many iconic movies as him.
@@EddieHenderson92 Let’s agree, to disagree…I’m in my 60’s, a film buff, with eclectic tastes, well beyond the Western genre. So there’s a multitude of greats I’d place well ahead of him, both men & women. Generally, I find many of his more famous films, entertainingly average, hardly Criterion, critically acclaimed or of any cinematic significance…Stagecoach is likely the only one I’d place in that category. And don’t get me started on his lack of range & real acting chops. He sold lotsa tickets, made the studios lotsa money & gained tons of fame…that’s NOT important to me. Many actors & actresses have all kinds of iconic movies on their respective resumes. Based on that bias/limited statement, it’s likely safe to say you have a V E R Y limited scope & perspective when speaking of cinema. Let’s see…mostly action flicks; generally, with simple, cookie-cutter dialogue, all kinds of chase scenes, lotsa guns, explosions, fighting… 🇨🇦
I saw the spaghetti westerns when they first came out. Each went on to become a second feature staple at drive-ins for the next 10 years. They never got old.
I too dread the thought of Clint passing! I’m 65 and still have about all of his movies and actually watched the good the bad and the ugly last night! His movies just are timeless masterpieces!👌
Every western movie that pops up from time to time these days (and there aren’t many), owes something to John Wayne and Clint Eastwood. They are quintessential heroes of the genre. I love them both. Damn shame they never starred in a movie together.
In my childhood I was a die hard Rambo fan but when I watched Where Eagles Dare I was blown away, Eastwood mowing down nazis with two submachine guns is the most badass action scene that I ever watched and Eastwood made Rambo look like a pussycat
To each their own. Always hated such scenes and still do, no matter who's the hero and no matter how "bad" those who get mowed down might be. They're just utterly stupid because nobody keeps running into a never ending stream of bullets.
@@einundsiebenziger5488 then why bother to watch the clips from the movies you think are stupid? For example I vehemently hate Barbie type of stupid "feminist" movies but neither did I ever watched the trailer or the movie clips simply because as per your words "each to his/her own" I think those type of movies are utterly stupid so I don't waste my time
@@einundsiebenziger5488 When the americans stormed normandy beach they litterally kept running up on machine gun nest.Its more realistic than you would think
I remember 24 hours of Eastwood on TV growing up in the early 90s. My dad and I would annoy the hell out of my mother (who doesn't really like Eastwood movies) and we'd not only watch everything that they put on TV for us, but we would recite pretty much damn near all of the words, and even the music too!
When Ennio Moricone died I cried all day, Clint Eastwood gone , and I will just die with him!!! I own the 36 DVD movies pack , and I am never tired of hearing his voice and name! ❤❤
Eastwood is probably my fav actor ever. I’m 55 and watched him all my life. Thanks Clint for your sexy, righteous guidance. Kick ass and cool under pressure ❤
Approx 20 ish yrs younger contemporary Jeff bridges has aged well and has had a varied and wonderful career. He looks so young and bright eyed next to Eastwood in thunderbolt and lightfoot! Now he has that great beard and hair and presence, just like Clint used to carry! Men’s men💪 One thing about Clint is that he was always fit. He obviously knew how to box. Could do pushups and jog all day long well into his 70’s. Probably a big reason for his longevity. Bridges better get working out;)
QT: "I don't see enough story-telling direction". Absolutely nailed it. Mystic River directed by Clint Eastwood is probably the most underrated movie post-2000. So refreshing to watch original movies that are artistic and don't' relie on comic character superheroes.
Very generous of him- true respect. In my new book Becoming a Writer I namecheck him as one of my artistic heroes. You csn order it from Charlie Byrne's Bookshop, Middle St., Galway, Ireland. Thanks for letting ne plug it and thanks for posting this video🎉
Back in the 70s when I was around 6-7, A Fistful of Dollars played on TV and I became obsessed with Eastwood. When the Dirty Harry series started I must have been one of the few 11-12 yr old girls begging to be taken to see it, which my older sisters made sure happened. One of them knew someone at the local theater and convinced them to give me one of the promo posters after it left the theater. I had that thing for 3 decades until it got wrecked in a freak accident. I have a deep dread in my gut for the day he passes, in my mind he IS the last great movie star.
Fistful of Dollars is one of the coolest movies ever. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly seems to be the most talked about of the Sergio Leone/Clint Eastwood films, but the first film is my favorite. Sergio Leone's Once Upon a Time in the West with Charles Bronson is amazing as well.
what tarantino doesnt realise is that the arcade scene at this time was huge and they needed clint to be the frontrunner to the arcade game 'firefox' it was the whole 'real life video games you press the buttons hand stick, to engage the next scene type deal. it was cutting edge for the time. A LaserDisc video game is a video game that uses pre-recorded video (either live-action or animation) played from a LaserDisc, either as the entirety of the graphics or as part of the graphics.
I came here for Eastwood and I get ice cream? WTH Clint keeps his movies simple and entertaining, it’s what movies should be two hours(or less) of an escape then back into the light !
I was fortunate to see The Good, the Bad and the Ugly at the theater at age 15 in 1968; we knew nothing of spaghetti westerns, and did wonder why so many names in the titles were Italian. Since then GBU has been my favorite film, and we saw all the other spaghetti westerns in theaters on first release in Arizona as well. So I definitely understand and agree with Tarantino and his homages to Eastwood, Leone, and Morricone.
Just remember that when you watch Fistful of Dollars ... and you watch that scene with the coffins... remember that was lifted completely, as was most of the rest of the movie, from Yojimbo by Akira Kurosawa.
Clint Eastwood made fun of his roles while he was presenting the Oscar substituting for Charlton Heston. He said they select a guy to fill in for Charlton that didn’t say 3 lines in his last 12 movies.
He meant that they replaced the actor (Charlton Heston) who played historical figures who did a lot of talking, specifically 'Moses' in "The Ten Commandments" and "Ben Hur", with an actor (Clint Eastwood) who hardly spoke in his movies, to deliver an Oscar presentation speech in front of thousands of people. Let me know if you still don't get it, I can explain some more.. Capiche?!@@stevem2323
Everything about the good the bad and ugly is amazing I never liked western movies till I sat down watched this masterpiece Different league to the rest.
What I would give to witness Clint Eastwood be in a Tarantino flick, cause you know damn well that man would be up day and night writing the best damn character for Clint to play
I have a lot of respect for Clint Eastwood; he obviously learned a lot from working with journeyman directors like Don Siegel. There was a story I sort of remember about the making of Bronco Billy. There was a scene where the characters are pulling up to a gas station with their car overheating. The prop people were using dry ice to make the “smoke,” and it wasn’t enough to be able to see, so they used more dry ice, and then it was too much. They were going to try again, but Clint said, “Forget it, we’re not making a movie about a car overheating.”
This is so true. Whenever I'm scanning Westerns on any streaming service, I see if there are any Clint Eastwood films. If there isn't any, I just move on. That's not to say there were still some great movies with Henry Ford, John Wayne, Robert Mitchum, Kurt Russel and Lee Van Cleef, but for some reason Clint just set the tone and is forever burned into the minds of Western movie lovers
This was great. I would have also like to have seen a bit of Play Misty For Me squeezed in there. Also, and maybe I'm missing something obvious, but what was the point with the ice cream store at the end? What's the connection, if any?
Maybe a dumb, naive question: but Tarantino's point on "storytelling direction" and how most directors nowadays aren't good storytellers - what makes a director a good storyteller? Is the scene from 15:17 an example of bad storytelling, because the gelato isn't serving the larger story? Again, maybe a bad question but just curious what separates good storytelling directors vs. bad storytellers.
Obviously, I'm not Tarantino, so I'm guessing, but imo yes, you're right. Good storytelling, and this goes for writers too imo, do a couple of things really well. It's not just that everything serves the story, but that everything serves more than one purpose. Pulp Fiction contains one of the best examples of this I can think of, with the conversation about Tony Rocky Horror, with the "Every foot massage means something" bit. When Vincent asks Mia about it she tells him the only time Tony ever touched her was when he shook her hand at the wedding, as tho this demonstrates the innocence of their contact. But the only time Vincent ever touches her, as far as she knows, is also when they shake hands. Tarantino's not exactly famous for subtlety, but that's so subtle almost no one ever notices it, consciously at least. That's phenomenal storytelling, and Tarantino's films are full of that kind of thing.
Clint provided an excellent entertaining movie, T.V and was a very good human being. What a delight to have the privilege of being able to see someone is human to the core!
There is no other actor from any generation, male or female, that has the pure screen presence of Clint Eastwood. The man can command more audience attention with a simple eyebrow raise than most actors can with a 3 page monologue.
That coffin thing is an exact copy of "Yojimbo" by Akira Kurosawa. The ronin played by Toshiro Mifune atacks the local mafia. When the ronin is going to atack them says to the coffin maker to prepare two coffins, and then he goes back and says "three coffins"
Since the subject of Tarantino and Eastwood has come up. I'd love to ask Mr. Tarantino if he was channeling "Where Eagles Dare" when he did the tavern scene in "Inglorious Bastards" Not ripping off in any way but thinking, "That's the level and type of tension I want for this scene. Any event both our excellent movies, both worth watching.
Well, I guess "Where Eagles Dare" is where Tarantino got the inspiration for his tavern scene in "Inglorious Basterds!" I love how QT's films are inspired by his deep love of cinema. I can't wait for the man's final film. I have no doubt it'll be a masterpiece.
I dread the day that I hear that Clint has passed. I’ve grown up with the guy and he’s just the best that Hollywood has ever given us.
No doubt
I, like you, grew up watching this man do his thing,

Clint Eastwood has unknowingly helped fathers and sons bond for over 50 years.

And million dollar baby.
I still want to see the movie where he’s a drug mule.

The story is that in "Where Eagles Dare" Richard Burton was drunk most of the time and Clint was literally holding him up.
Parents took us to see Richard Burton some play on broadway. Burton was smashed and fell off stage.
The original script had lots more dialogue for Clint.
He said, "Burton's got a great voice. Let him do all the talking, I'll do all the killing"
And to top it all off he does movie scores too! Absolute Legend!
He's one of a kind. Never copied anyone and no one attempted to copy him and pulled it off. He's a legend and a directing genius. Easy to work with

Clint Eastwood’s Westerns & Sean Connery’s 007 movies are the peak of “cool masculinity” on screen.
I came here for Eastwood and I get ice cream? WTH
Clint keeps his movies simple and entertaining, it’s what movies should be two hours(or less) of an escape then back into the light !
I think it's a scene from 1517 to Paris. Generally considered a bit of bizarre direction.
High Plains Drifter is absolutely magnificent eastwood absolutely coming into his own...
Clint Eastwood is The Man . Untouchable .
I was fortunate to see The Good, the Bad and the Ugly at the theater at age 15 in 1968; we knew nothing of spaghetti westerns, and did wonder why so many names in the titles were Italian. Since then GBU has been my favorite film, and we saw all the other spaghetti westerns in theaters on first release in Arizona as well. So I definitely understand and agree with Tarantino and his homages to Eastwood, Leone, and Morricone.
Just remember that when you watch Fistful of Dollars ... and you watch that scene with the coffins... remember that was lifted completely, as was most of the rest of the movie, from Yojimbo by Akira Kurosawa.
Clint Eastwood made fun of his roles while he was presenting the Oscar substituting for Charlton Heston. He said they select a guy to fill in for Charlton that didn’t say 3 lines in his last 12 movies.
Yeah and?
He meant that they replaced the actor (Charlton Heston) who played historical figures who did a lot of talking, specifically 'Moses' in "The Ten Commandments" and "Ben Hur", with an actor (Clint Eastwood) who hardly spoke in his movies, to deliver an Oscar presentation speech in front of thousands of people.
Let me know if you still don't get it, I can explain some more.. Capiche?!@@stevem2323
Clint* Eastwood
@@einundsiebenziger5488 thanks
Unforgiven is my favorite.
🎬 It’s a NeoWestern masterpiece 🎬
Best ending in the history of cinema
One of my greatest heroes growing up in the 60s.
Thanks for this!Tarantino on Kurosawa's works a dream🎌
The goat, period.
Eastwood is simply put, the greatest all time
Just watched GB&U for the umpteenth time and just realised how well Clint is rocking skinny blue jeans in 1966. Viva Clint.
When I was growing up, it didn't matter what the movie was if Eastwood was in it, I was watching. He was one of the first bad, good guys.
Everything about the good the bad and ugly is amazing
I never liked western movies till I sat down watched this masterpiece
Different league to the rest.
The guy can't overact even on purpose.
Greatest living movie legend
What I would give to witness Clint Eastwood be in a Tarantino flick, cause you know damn well that man would be up day and night writing the best damn character for Clint to play
I have a lot of respect for Clint Eastwood; he obviously learned a lot from working with journeyman directors like Don Siegel. There was a story I sort of remember about the making of Bronco Billy. There was a scene where the characters are pulling up to a gas station with their car overheating. The prop people were using dry ice to make the “smoke,” and it wasn’t enough to be able to see, so they used more dry ice, and then it was too much. They were going to try again, but Clint said, “Forget it, we’re not making a movie about a car overheating.”
Clint Eastwood is the last of the giants of the big screen. No one today comes close.
Legend. Alongside with morricone and leone are for me legends. With a special mention to volonte, wallach and van cleef. The last of them.
This is so true. Whenever I'm scanning Westerns on any streaming service, I see if there are any Clint Eastwood films. If there isn't any, I just move on. That's not to say there were still some great movies with Henry Ford, John Wayne, Robert Mitchum, Kurt Russel and Lee Van Cleef, but for some reason Clint just set the tone and is forever burned into the minds of Western movie lovers
This was great. I would have also like to have seen a bit of Play Misty For Me squeezed in there. Also, and maybe I'm missing something obvious, but what was the point with the ice cream store at the end? What's the connection, if any?
Great editorializing really nice thanks
Unforgiven is one of the best movies of all time !!!
"Get 3 coffins ready"
"Ah eh uh"
Great writing!
Maybe a dumb, naive question: but Tarantino's point on "storytelling direction" and how most directors nowadays aren't good storytellers - what makes a director a good storyteller? Is the scene from 15:17 an example of bad storytelling, because the gelato isn't serving the larger story?
Again, maybe a bad question but just curious what separates good storytelling directors vs. bad storytellers.
im curious about it too. i wish we can hear his thoughts on what he really means. I wanted him to lay it all out for us lol.
Obviously, I'm not Tarantino, so I'm guessing, but imo yes, you're right.
Good storytelling, and this goes for writers too imo, do a couple of things really well. It's not just that everything serves the story, but that everything serves more than one purpose.
Pulp Fiction contains one of the best examples of this I can think of, with the conversation about Tony Rocky Horror, with the "Every foot massage means something" bit.
When Vincent asks Mia about it she tells him the only time Tony ever touched her was when he shook her hand at the wedding, as tho this demonstrates the innocence of their contact. But the only time Vincent ever touches her, as far as she knows, is also when they shake hands.
Tarantino's not exactly famous for subtlety, but that's so subtle almost no one ever notices it, consciously at least. That's phenomenal storytelling, and Tarantino's films are full of that kind of thing.
The thing that separates good storytelling directors and bad ones is good films
What with the gelato scenes thrown in there? Reality TV?
There's legends then there's "Clint Eastwood". GOAT!!!!
Clint provided an excellent entertaining movie, T.V and was a very good human being. What a delight to have the privilege of being able to see someone is human to the core!
Few Dollars More is often overshadowed but it's my personal fav from the trilogy
There is no other actor from any generation, male or female, that has the pure screen presence of Clint Eastwood. The man can command more audience attention with a simple eyebrow raise than most actors can with a 3 page monologue.
I love going the New Beverly Cinema, Tarantino owns it. I hope he shows more of Eastwood's movies.
There are so many good lines in Josie Wales... I wouldn't know where to start, definitely my fave'. Then Good, Bad & Ugly, then.. Eiger Sanction.
That coffin thing is an exact copy of "Yojimbo" by Akira Kurosawa. The ronin played by Toshiro Mifune atacks the local mafia. When the ronin is going to atack them says to the coffin maker to prepare two coffins, and then he goes back and says "three coffins"
Since the subject of Tarantino and Eastwood has come up.
I'd love to ask Mr. Tarantino if he was channeling "Where Eagles Dare" when he did the tavern scene in "Inglorious Bastards"
Not ripping off in any way but thinking, "That's the level and type of tension I want for this scene.
Any event both our excellent movies, both worth watching.
Next week, Andy Warhol rates Leonardo Da Vinci.
blah blah blah I have opinions blah
I read the book Firefox and a follow up called Winterhawk. Great author for the time.
My dad fav actor. I missed my dad
Well, I guess "Where Eagles Dare" is where Tarantino got the inspiration for his tavern scene in "Inglorious Basterds!" I love how QT's films are inspired by his deep love of cinema. I can't wait for the man's final film. I have no doubt it'll be a masterpiece.
One of the greatest actor in the history of Hollywood.
I never really liked westerns until I watched Clint. Favourite is Unforgiven.
