Clint Eastwood: Cop or Cowboy

[FMJeff]

Ron is interviewing a Clint Eastwood biographer and a thought came to mind. In what kind of film do you prefer Clint Eastwood as he excelled in both: cop or cowboy?

[Furtherman]

Cowboy. Only because Unforgiven is one of my favorite films of all time, although he wasn't a cowboy, he was a thief and a killer.

[Dell]

Cowboy...thought he was absolutely perfect as the Outlaw Josey Wales...like all of his westerns...

copboy

We don't wanna hear about the gay films you're watching lately lleeder

[CountryBob]

This guy sucks being interviewed - monotone voice even makes Clint sound boring.

[Crispy123]

No contest. Im a total mark for the spagetti western. Hang em high, TGB&U, Pale Rider just to name a few.

[weekapaugjz]

cowboy. high plains drifter is the fucking shit!

[DH 215]

How about angry old man who teaches us about race relations?

[TripleSkeet]

Cowboy by far. The Man with No Name Trilogyis just fantastic.

He also makes a good criminal. I loved Escape from Alcatraz and Absolute Power.

[Lady Resin]

Loved "Play Misty For Me." Jessica Water was insane.

cowboy. high plains drifter is the fucking shit!

Ditto.

and a separate towel

[SHANEFROMGA]

"dirty harry " was good but the man will always be thought of as that drifter who rode in to town on the back of an old dusty horse, chewing on half of an old cigar. i think he had dirt in his veins for most of the 70s.

[thepaulo]

Cowboy.

That' s funny...in the Village People, they have a cowboy and a cop.

[ScottFromGA]

Question. Unforgiven or Dirty Harry?


the one you pick would answer this poll as well....

[razorboy]

A truck driver with an orangutan named Clyde for a best pal.

Absolutely. That he needed no name in those early ones was so cool. Not to mention widescreen at it's best.

The cops ones were excellent, but they just didn't have the rewatchability of the others.

[AnnoyedGrunt]

There's always Coogan's Bluff where he's a cowboy cop.
