Nah, Titanic, The English Patient, Shakespeare In Love even more so.

Kathy Bates didn’t win the Oscar, Laura Dern took home the statuette for Marriage Story.

“I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain.”
What a difference a week makes. Last weekend, hot and 40C +. This weekend, 20C and three days of constant torrential rains. 😳😳😳

Anyone seen Yellowstone starring Kevin Costner?
I've seen about 5 episodes and while it is interesting, I'm finding a lot of the plot so depressing. The daughter of Costner's character has to be the most loathsome character I've ever witnessed in a TV show as well.

Eastwood News / Re: Who saw RICHARD JEWELL? Members' Comments (NO SPOILERS, PLEASE)
« on: February 04, 2020, 02:17:27 AM »I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. A very solid film which was interesting from start to finish. Performances were excellent. Looking forward to a second viewing with Mrs Palooka.
No cameo in this one palooka?

« on: February 01, 2020, 03:09:56 AM »I would be interested in seeing how Eastwood would handle a horror movie. Play Misty for Me comes close, but is considered more of a thriller.
I reckon The Beguiled is more horror related than Play Misty For Me.

I’m a fan of C J Box and his “Joe Pickett” novels. Love to see Clint direct an adaptation of those stories.

Hi Dave, Clint has never written his autobiography but one the best biographies is Clint Eastwood: A Biography by Richard Schickel.
It came out in the mid 1990's.

General Discussion / Your Favorite Decade Of Eastwood Films
« on: January 19, 2020, 03:11:39 AM »
The latest topics about favorite films from each decade had me searching the board and I found this old topic/poll.
Your Favorite Decade Of Eastwood Films
It's been 16 years since that poll. Time for a new poll.
Anyone who voted before, would you now change your vote to a different decade?

12. Pink Cadillac
After having a hard time compiling lists for the 1960's and 1970's, this was probably the hardest decade so far. Because for me, apart from the top 2, the rest aren't very memorable. I'm not saying they're all bad because each film does have some charm or certain memorable scenes but on a whole compared to most of the films from the 1960's and 70's they're weaker.
