Yes, KC, add Tightrope.

Done. I also set the option to allow people to change their vote, in case anyone who voted for something else wants to change it to Tightrope.

[Doug]

A Perfect World should be included as well.  It's as dark as any of Clint's movies.

I was going to vote for HPD but after seeing Million Dollar Baby I opted to vote for the latter. That film tapped a nerve in my eye lids.

[Gant]

Ill go with Mystic River

[harley]

High plains drifter by all means. 

[Perry]

 If we are talking dark as far as visual, Bird  is  the darkest. It's so dark that its beyond watching in some aspects. As far as  Dark as in other aspects, I would go with Tightrope, though the Begulled is a extremely offbeat role.

I'd have to say Mystic River as the films conclusion is so unsettling.

Close behind that would be City Heat, that was a dark..dark evening when I left the theatre that night

[Gant]

Mystic River is one of the darkest movis by anyone that I've ever seen..

[KC]

Close behind that would be City Heat, that was a dark..dark evening when I left the theatre that night

You may have meant that as a joke, but in fact ... City Heat is one of Clint's darkest films in terms of how much actual daylight is seen. If I recall right, there is only ONE scene that doesn't take place at night ... and that's set in a cemetery.

[mary mary]

Only a small Joke KC, and not that funny
That's a very good observation actually KC, just trying to remember if Richard Roundtrees Character was introduced during the daylight hours, was he getting his shoes shined, only going from memory though.

[Gant]

Was City Heat shot exclusivly on studio sets.. ?

[KC]

Probably.

I was going from memory on the daylight scenes; there may have been more than one. Have to re-watch it start to finish ... one of these days ...

[Gant]

Rather you than me...

That is a hard question to answer. I might have to go with "Million Dollar Baby". That film is the only movie that I have seen that was brilliant but I can never watch it again. After viewing that movie I was extremely heartbroken. I went to my back yard with a couple of beers, a pack of smokes and my acoustic guitar for about an hour. Watching that film I rooted for Clint and Hillary's characters so much that when the turn of events went bad, I was devastated. I put Hillary Swank's performance in that film right there with Sissy Spacek in "Coal Miners Daughter" and Betty Davis in "Of Human Bondage".
