Help me resolve a debate.

Quality, not quantity Slick.

Quality, not quantity Slick.

true, but the issue is that given the lower numbers, Clint has a couple,three real dogs out there. His most recent comes to mind. Certainly nowhere near the quality output of some of the others on the list.

2010 Hereafter---dreadful

2009 Invictus

2008 Gran Torino

2008 Changeling--abyssmal

2006 Flags of Our Fathers

2004 Million Dollar Baby

2003 The Blues (TV series documentary)

– Piano Blues (2003)

2003 Mystic River

2002 Blood Work--not so hot

looks like a stronger field to me, but YMMV.

[Buzz]

No comments on Scorcese's list?

Does that mean they all meet your approval? Why didn't you vote for him?

Asshat didn't make any movies.


btw You said Clint didn't have enough movies. His (your) list is longer than Scorcese's list.

[Reservoir_Dog]

Clint has a couple,three real dogs out there.

Every great director has a few lesser efforts. Lets face it, there's no forgiving Eastwood for "Space Cowboys" or "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil".

But....

Bird
White Hunter Black Heart
Unforgiven
The Bridges of Madison County
Mystic River (an almost perfectly directed film)
Million Dollar Baby
Flags of Our Fathers
Gran Torino
Invictus
Hereafter

....puts Clint on the list.

[Wullie]

Ya left out "Bloody Sam" Peckinpah! Even if he hasn't made a movie since '84 his stuff was awesome!

The original "kill 'em all, let God sort 'em out" director.

ASSHAT!

[Dawg]

Asshat didn't make any movies.

I'm quite certain an asshat made the last three or four I've seen.

[Buzz]

Not me. I only watch movies i've seen before.

No disappointment that way.

[Reservoir_Dog]

I'm quite certain an asshat made the last three or four I've seen.

Then stop watching Hannah Montana movies.
