Your 1st Eastwood Film

I dont remember the name. It was one of his seventies westerns, where he played a mysterious stranger who came to town, noted feuding bad guys, went to get a drink at the saloon instead of getting involved, and dragged some poor woman out to a barn and raped her. No, really!

And thats when I changed the channel, and developed a lifelong aversion to Eastwood.

The Outlaw Josey Wales. My dad was a huge Clint fan. We had all his movies on video disc when I was growing up. Watched all his early movies over and over and over again. That's the movie I remember most vividly in my earliest memories.

I can only guess, but the movies that I remember really enjoying early on featuring Clint are The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, and Pale Rider. Frankly, I think he plays the same character over and over, but he's a good looking guy and usually was in well made movies, so he's easy to watch. I'd say Redford had more range, but both are very entertaining and dissimilar.

Probably The Good, The Bad, & the Ugly.

I remember watching The Eiger Sanction in a caravan with my parents while on a family holiday. I was old enough to feel uncomfortable during the bare breasts scene.

It's possible I saw one of the Every Which Way movies when I was a little younger still.

I saw Every Which Way but Loose in the theater as a kid and The Good, The Bad and the Ugly is in my top 5 favorite films.

No way to recall. When I was a kid, my parents both loved Eastwood, and whenever one of his films came on TV (this was pre-VCR and pre-cable TV days) we'd watch. Though I can't recall which I saw first, I know it was either one of the Dirty Harry films or one of the ones where he had the chimpanzee with him.

I first became aware of Clint Eastwood when he was co-starring on the television series "Rawhide", which my family watched every week. Prior to that, I had seen most of the movies in which he had small parts in the 1950s, but didn't notice him any more than any of the other bit players. The first film I saw in which I recognized Clint Eastwood as an actor was "A Fistful of Dollars", which I saw at the La Habra Theater on Whittier Boulevard in La Habra, California in 1967.
