Clint Eastwood Movies Ranked Worst to Best

Begrudgingly drawn out of retirement, a former bounty hunter (Eastwood) tracks down a Mexican revolutionary in this violent Western. Famous author Elmore Leonard – who began his career writing Western short stories and novels – penned the script.

This recent crime drama tells the reportedly true story of a 90-year-old war veteran (Eastwood) turned drug mule for the Mexican cartel. It’s the second of three collaborations between Eastwood and screenwriter Nick Schenk, who also wrote “Gran Torino” and “Cry Macho.”

This fish-out-of-water action comedy marked the first time that Eastwood teamed up with director and frequent future collaborator Don Siegel. It follows straightlaced Arizona Deputy Sheriff Walt Coogan (Eastwood) to Manhattan, where he clashes with the local personalities.

Eastwood plays an aging gunnery sergeant on the brink of retirement in this American war drama. While grappling with an alcohol problem, he trains a platoon of young marines before the 1983 invasion of Grenada.

A year before “Dirty Harry,” Eastwood and director Don Siegel churned out this romantic Western adventure. Sparks fly between a Civil War veteran (Eastwood) and a nun (MacLaine), who help Mexican revolutionaries capture a French fort.
