I liked it!

 This movie has one distinction that only one other Eastwood movie has. Can anyone guess what it is and what the other movie is?

 Best Eastwood flick? For me it is The Outlaw Josie Wales...

Phil

Korean war vet? Heartbreak Ridge?

Clint dies in this and "The Bridges of Madison County"

Laminar and Schmthaus,

 Yes it is that Eastwood's character dies. And Beguiled was the one I was thinking of. For along time that used to be the ONLY movie that his character actually died in.

 Did he also die in Honky Tonk Man? In the BoMC that is kind if a gray area, as the majority of that story is told in flashback and I seem to remember that his death is only vaguely a part of the story, but it has been a long time since I have seen it.

 Beguiled is my #2 after The Outlaw Josie Wales.

 Thanks for playing and educating me in the process!

I'd say it's that Eastwood died, but he also died in Honky Tonk Man and Beguiled.

Finally,

I got around to seeing Gran Torino.

It scared me.  I believe with each passing day, I've been getting more and more like Eastwood was in that movie.

I remember my grandparents talking about "people and things aren't what they used to be."  I remember my dad talking about "people and things aren't what they used to be."

I was so very young then and thought........ Gees, I hear this all the time........ what a bunch of horse radish....... what's wrong with things and people right now?

Now, for crying out loud, I'm saying "people and things aren't what they used to be."

Help..........

Don't worry about it too much.

It's one of those timeless traditions - complain about the youth of today and fear for where society is headed. It's been happening for the past 2500 years, and I don't expect to see it change at all.

Yeah, remember when parents of boomers thought Elvis was the devil incarnate?
