Agreed Stan. DH also gets my vote. It would possibly have gone to Where Eagles Dare if it had been included in the poll but unfortunately, that was a 1968 film. Gene. Where Eagles Dare was a good film, but as I remember Eastwood and Burton played their parts with long Sideburns which annoyed me quite a bit. I thought it was ridiculous in a film about ww2, especially when they where posing as German officers. |

Kellys Heroes also had many memorable quotes and indeed characters; Oddball and Crapgame to name but two!

'Breezy' has been left out as he wasn't really in it, just the director That would have been my favourite  |

Thunderbolt & Lightfoot was also v good.
Top performance by Jeff Bridges.
Clint tends to have few lines, but always have impact when accompanied by his classic look.

Easily Dirty Harry for me, not just for Clint's laid back performance but for Lalo Schifrin's fantastic score, it's pretty much as perfect as a film soundtrack ever can be (alongside his score for 'Bullitt' I'd say). Using San Francisco as the location was inspired too. Magnum Force comes a very close second, and despite not being every Eastwood fan's cup of tea, I think it gets better with each viewing.

Tough one this - I went for 'Magnum Force'. It was of its time, a compelling thriller with a touch of the Blaxploitation movies of that period.

 Bronson - you can generally tell films made in that period because of the hairstyles and facial hair. Even if they are supposed to be set in e.g. the nineteenth century.
Whilst this was the case in 'Where Eagles Dare', I like to think that Donald Sutherland's 'hip' dialogue in 'Kelly's Heroes' was a deliberate joke.

I voted for Thunderbolt and Lightfoot. This film must have one of the saddest endings ever but I still love it. It was also the year I was born  I'm a great fan of Clint's and of course I do like the Dirty Harry films but for me Thunderbolt and Lightfoot has got to be my favourite 70's Clint film. I think Magnum force was the best out of the 3 70's Dirty H's. |
