One of the few Watch Once films that Clint Eastwood directed. If you want to see Eastwood and Hackman together at the top of their game, watch Unforgiven.
Absolute Power is my fav movie. Where other directors would use banal music cues in order to manipulate how we feel about what's going on, Eastwood's lack of a typical soundtrack allows the words and actions of the characters to correctly convey the emotion of the moment. Like the scene where his character's daughter Laura goes to her fridge expecting to find it mostly empty, perhaps some water and leftover fast food. She opens the fridge to find out that her father has broken into her home and stocked her fridge to capacity with healthy food. Her reaction says so much more about both of them than any music cue could. The same can be said for "American Sniper". We don't need that typical snare drum & wind instrument music which is typical of films featuring war scenes. It's who the characters are that influence how we think and feel. Great job, Mr. Eastwood.

The *wills* accomplish everything, the *won'ts* oppose everything, and the *can'ts* won't try anything.”

I'm not sure where you sit with Firefox, Space Cowboys, or Bronco Billy. Some of them are forgettable; others I think scream to be forgotten.
Naturally, I liked his Man With No Name and Dirty Harry series.
Your intermittently humble Portreve.

The wrath of Ricardo Montalbán and The Black Hole which was Disney's first film to receive a PG rating (and could have used Einstein's input as Reinhardt's 20 years studying the black hole would've been centuries or even eons to the Palomino crew.)

Firefox is not a Watch Once for me, but I think the story line is so preposterous that it is difficult to sit through. I feel the same way about The Eiger Sanction. I like Bronco Billy, and I never get tired of watching Space Cowboys.
Play Misty for Me is one of his better films as both the director and an actor. The Rookie should be near the top of the Screams To Be Forgotten list.
An oldie:
"I'll fight for her honor, which is more than she ever did!" (one of my favorite quotes.)
I am pretty sure that's from an episode of M*A*S*H, and it is based on a line from Duck Soup - "Remember, you're fighting for this woman's honor, which is probably more than she ever did." Hail, Hail Fredonia!
Rufus T. Firefly: Not that I care, but where is your husband?
Mrs. Teasdale: Why, he's dead.
Rufus T. Firefly: I bet he's just using that as an excuse.
Mrs. Teasdale: I was with him to the very end.
Rufus T. Firefly: No wonder he passed away.
Mrs. Teasdale: I held him in my arms and kissed him.
Rufus T. Firefly: Oh, I see, then it was murder. Will you marry me? Did he leave you any money? Answer the second question first.
Mrs. Teasdale: He left me his entire fortune.
Rufus T. Firefly: Is that so? Can't you see what I'm trying to tell you? I love you.
