#1: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is the cornerstone of Clint Eastwood's cinematic career.
This was the film that catapulted Eastwood to international stardom in the late 1960s, firmly establishing him as a bona fide leading man. His portrayal of the enigmatic “Man with No Name” showcased an ability to convey complexity in a character with minimal dialogue, a skill that would become his trademark.
Together with the film's director, Sergio Leone, and its iconic composer, Ennio Morricone, the three legendary figures created a masterpiece that transcends the Western genre. A true gem, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is a testament to Eastwood's enduring appeal. Even decades after its release, the film continues to remind us that there are those who are bad, those who are ugly, and then there's Clint Eastwood, a legend all his own.
