Interesting Questions, Facts, and Information

    Eastwood, Clint

    Why are "A Fistful of Dollars", "For a Few Dollars More" and "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" called the "Spaghetti Westerns"?Clint Eastwood Westerns (mario64151)

      All were directed by and starred mostly Italians.. Sergio Leone was the director of all three and almost the entire cast and crew were Italian. However, they were filmed in Spain.

      Jessica Walter. Donna Mills played the girl friend. Fairly good thriller.

      Meryl Streep. Kind of a strange pairing.

    Which movie stars comedian Jeff Daniels alongside Clint's turn as a heart-stopping ex-police detective?Clint Eastwood Dust-up (dantheman08)

      Bloodwork. "Bloodwork" is a very cool movie that was one of the first to have Clint Eastwood play a good-guy character. It follows his effort to find a serial killer who murders his best friend's sister and almost kills him. Jeff Daniel's intriguing turn as a beach-bum and "gasp" the villain, really raised my interest in his acting career.

      Heist. "Heist" is a Gene Hackman movie (with Danny DeVito). "World" co-stars Kevin Costner.

      Mystic River. "Mystic River" is a powerful tragedy. It tells about three childhood friends who grow apart from each other after something horrible happens in their childhood. It shows how they almost come back together after a terrible accident happens to one of the friends' daughters. If anything, watch this flick for the Best Supporting Actor Oscar-nominated role played by Sean Penn.

    What was the name of the TV western series that Clint starred in from 1959-1966?Clint Eastwood Movies (CharlieGoose)

    What is the name of the movie that stars Kevin Costner and Clint Eastwood as two men on opposite sides of the law in a kidnapping case?Clint Eastwood Dust-up (dantheman08)

      Dirty Harry. The first of a series that stayed consistently funny, shocking, and full of action, this movie really rocketed Clint to stardom as a hard-case homocide detective. He doesn't take guff from anyone as he works to stop an insane serial killer, while trying to work around the political red tape that surrounds the case. Watch "Dead Pool" the last movie in the series for a cameo by Jim Carrey as a satanist rock musician.

    It's hard to imagine Clint in a musical, but he starred in "Paint Your Wagon". Who co-starred with him?Clint Eastwood Movies (robert362)
