What movie will he be remembered for? I
I'm going to go with "Dirty Harry"

Is it wrong to remember him more for his mannerisms than his films?

I would vote not
The Clint squint was a big part of his onscreen charisma...he always looked like he was going to murder you or shrug you off

Makes you wonder though, how can an entire fortune bearing career be built on ones ability to squint? There are more Clint mannerisms that I can visualise but as you say 'the Clint squint' is the most well known and it's probably what made him.

Personally, my Dad was more of a fan than I was. Flms like Kelly's Heroes and Clints reactions to Donald Sutherland always stuck in my mind and I found him more funny so I always saw him as kind of sarcastic.

He got me into the Western genre. He starred in and/or directed some of the best, including IMO the greatest Western of all time, Unforgiven.
