Gran Torino

love him or hate him, clint eastwood was awesome. no million dollar baby, but this was worth seeing.

I am a longtime Clint fan....I am waiting for Gran Torino

Million Dollar Baby had great actors showing some great skills but the end of the story pissed me off so bad

PS...I will also automatically watch anything with Morgan Freeman...I don't even need to know anything else
about the movie... all movies he has chosen have been awesome

maybe next weekend, it's playing at the local theater

Yeah I'm like that with Morgan Freeman, too...

So you must have been over the top in ectasy with Unforgiven. Which was filmed 'round here in my part of the world. I like Morgan Freeman - he is an excellent actor. Clint is okay as an actor. Like Arnie, he get's some memorable lines.

i remember seeing clint when he was a nobody, when he first came out.

First time I noticed him was either Dirty Harry or the The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. Then later I looked again at older movies where I had seen him before but didn't know who he was at the time. I think my favorite of all his movies was probaby The Outlaw Josey Wales.

I remember him from the spaghetti western series he did and early stuff lie coogans bluff, hang em high. where eagles dare. but I also remember him from a few early westerns of the 50's and tv appearances he did back then

I remember seeing Jack Nicholson when I was a kid, in a bit part in a b-grade Vincent Price/Peter Lorre movie in the theatre (I still LOVE those old B horror movies), and I was thinking, "This guy doesn't belong in this movie." Little did I know ha.

The first time i saw jack that I remember him from was hells angels on wheel, then easy rider.

This was back in the before time before those movies came out (yes I'm that old), when I was a kid and could spend all day Saturday in the theatre by spending 50 cents for a double feature and staying through at least long enough to see both movies twice. I did that almost every weekend. The theatre managers knew some kids were doing it, but as long as we didn't cause trouble and kept ourselves low, they'd never say anything about it.

when I grew up there were no theaters close by. we had to be driven to them amd they were at least a half hr away. most of the time we went to a drive in with my parents or my mother and a friend of hers who had kids our age might go to the movies. Hells Angels on wheels played as a second movie in the drive in to Some movie about the Rat Fink. That may have even been the name. but I was a teenager when that came out.

We had a drive-in theatre on the edge of town and when we were kids too young to drive we would climb up on the roofs of neighboring garages and houses and watch the drive-in movies from up there... people in the drive-in would turn up the speakers so we could hear what was going on lol

Thanls for the review I think I'll check it out.

Remember the old Andy of Mayberry show? They locked up Jack Nicholson one time.

We didnt have theaters close by either. The closest was about 90 miles and on the occasions we did go we would always get there a little early and have burgers and ice cream at a little DQ type place and wait for it to get dark so they could start the movie. By the time we got home I was always dead asleep in the car and had to be carried into the house.

Fond memories.

Fond memory of taking long trips in the car with my parents... I was always impatient to get there and would constantly ask dumb questions like "How far are we?" and "Are we almost there yet?" which would drive my mom crazy... if I would ask, "Where are we right now?" she would almost always reply, "Out in the middle of nowhere..." I remember wondering about crazy stuff like whether the motion of the car's wheels was propelling the car forward, or if it was actually really causing the Earth to rotate in the opposite direction... these kinds of idiotic questions were sincerely ignorant but would still drive my mom crazy...

Bright children ask questions, even if they are childish questions. Dumb children color or stare out the window without curiosity.
