How about two more Eastwood movies?

A dirty Harry movie with the s&w m29 44 mag?

A spaghetti western were an aging no name pistolero wanders into town.

Come on I think he has a few more movies left yet?

Co-stars?

DeNero
Michaels Douglas
Kirk Douglas a cameo appearance.

I think he's done shooting people. After a couple decades of blowing people away and then not giving it another thought two minutes afterward, he did Unforgiven where death is less entertaining in movies and more final. In Grand Torino he faced the bad guys and knew we all figured the old Clint was back and he'd start shootin'. But that assumption was what he was counting on to surprise us.
 
I love most of his movies but have you seen him lately? I'm not going to say he couldn't pull it off but it would be pretty unseemly to see him try it. I hate to say it but he's aged a lot in the last decade.
 
No thank you. For the same reason I don't like old-timer's baseball games. I don't want to see a bunch of old, fat guys who can't run anymore and can't reach the plate from the mound. I want to remember them in their prime. Same with Eastwood.
 
Maybe Dirty Harry in a nursing home...someone starts offing the old geezers around him and Harry has to investigate between trips to the bathroom. Instead of a Model 29, he can use a tapioca spoon?
 
so he cant walk dance run and tackle bad guys but i would watch one movie a western at that. we will put him on a hill and he could just pick off bad guys. he has kept us entertained a long time and im sure a few of us here still watch his old movies. we will give him a new s&w and a cigar and we would be entertained

No, I don't think so. I'm a huge Eastwood fan but I'd prefer to continue re-watching his classics. The man is way past his prime for those kind of roles and it would be painful to watch him embarrass himself trying, but that is exactly what he'd end up doing. I'd hate to see him do that to himself.

Now....having said that.....a straight forward DRAMA....with no action in it about a retired Harry Callahan talking about his days as a San Francisco homocide detective.......relating various incidents that we all have seen in the movies.....

.....and having people react saying things like: "yeah, yeah old man......sure you did.....ha ha!"

....and we the audience knows he's telling the truth.


Now THAT might work. Who knows?

Just last night I happened to watch an old episode of the Highway Patrol show,with Broderick Crawford.There were two motorcyclists who rode into a small town on their Harleys to get a bite to eat,and one of the actors was Clint Eastwood. My God!!What a difference 60 years make!I believe the TV show ran from 1955 to 1959.

There's a certain romanticism lost in picturing an aged Clint Eastwood riding over the prairie on a motorized Rascal cart than his trusty steed.

It would have to be a western with a title like "Geezers Ride Again". Just remember, old geezers never die, they just ride into the sunset on two mules that were donated by Sister Sarah.
 
Just fInished watching the enforcer the wife bought me the Dirty Harry ultimate collection. Haven't seen that movie in 25 years.:)

I'd like to see him...

The character would have to be different, definitely over the hill and not expected to have to take action, but with a good script, some good actors, etc. he could pull a surprise at the end. I don't mean to try to turn back the clock, he's over the hill and the story should reflect that. Gosh, maybe he could even die like John Wayne in 'The Shootist'.:eek:
