Weekly Poll Results: Best Movie Directed by Clint Eastwood
The results from the great Eastwood debate are in, and it looks like the majority of Film Junk readers believe that Unforgiven is Clint’s best work behind the camera to date. It won a handful of Oscars and was nominated for a bunch more, so it’s probably not all that surprising, however, I find it interesting that Million Dollar Baby was not the runner-up. Instead, it was ranked #4 after both Mystic River and Gran Torino. Most of Eastwood’s older movies were severely underrepresented here, but I am assuming this is because less people have seen them. Do you agree with these results?
1. Unforgiven — 41.9%
2. Mystic River — 15.7%
3. Gran Torino — 14.6%
4. Million Dollar Baby — 12.2%
5. Letters from Iwo Jima — 7.8%
6. The Outlaw Josey Wales — 3%
7. High Plains Drifter — 2.7%
8. The Bridges of Madison County — 1.4%
9. The Gauntlet — 0.5%
10. Sudden Impact — 0.3%

Posted by Teo on December 16th, 2009Outlaw Josey Wales should be higher on this list, but other than that I don’t have much to complain about.

Posted by Niklas on December 17th, 2009Hey Sean, I like the way you repost and give the pollsters another chance to debate the result, smart.
I think that people vote in terms of rewatchability in which case I can’t understand “Mystic River’s” high score. I guess the same could be said for “Million Dollar baby” with all the depressing stuff that is in that? so I go with my original choice “Outlaw josey Wales” and the rest of you are on crack.
