Country:  | Clint is the man.... The Speghetti Westerns will live forever... Ask a homeless dude under a bridge, or a 75 year old Bastard in Rome, who was in A Fistfull of Dollars... They'll know the answer....
Ask about Bullit, and they'll say a Mustang... Ask about The Great Escape, and they'll say a BIG Ass Tunnel...
Steve WAS Cool.. Clint is the definition of the word Cool.....

Country:  | My arse he is...
And the difference is that A fistful of dollars was a naff movie and Clint is the only redeeming feature and hes all thats worth remembering...
The Great Escape and Bullitt were great flms aith a great actor, and as such there are more things to remember...Bullitt makes me think of the Charger most, followed by McQueen DRIVING the Musting...The Great escaoe for me spells Motorbike chase.
McQueens best film IMO is Le Mans.

Country:  | I think we can officially declare CCs opinion void for calling A Fistful of Dollars 'naff'. I know why he likes McQueen better, he's feminine and women don't like Clint because he's too manly.

Country: | It is naff, on the basis that all westerns are naff.
McQueen is not feminine...believe the word of the master  He wore the coolest watch ever as well. I dont wear a watch, but I pine for a Tag Heuer Monaco...

| I agree.... Sergio Leone was a master filmographer, and a pioneer of the long shot.. He made those movies masterpieces...... 3 of the Greatest Westerns EVER made......
Naff for sure...

Country:  | A Fist Full of Dollars was a copied from a Japanese film so was the Magnificent Seven they just changed them into westerns neither was as good as the originals Leones best western was Once apon a time in the West with no Eastwood although i must admit The G,B&U was brilliant and made all the better by Ennio Morricone's teriffic film score The Ecstasy of Gold and The Trio are classic movie moments. Morricone as im sure you know wrote all of Sergio leones film scores Ive been to little hollywood in Spain and most of the sets from a Few Dollars more are still there.
I still think Mcqueen was cooler Eastwood playing a gunnery sarg in Heart Break Ridge was hilarious silly old sod running about in combat, get real.
He had more lines across his face than the bleeding Somme had trenches and that stupid grumbling voice he put on about as ferocious as Danny Kay in Walter Mitty

Country: | Eastwood is also an amazing director with the likes of The Unforgiven and Mystic River...but that's not in the interest of 'cool' so...yeah.

| Ouch......
As far as anything goes, Clints acting in Josey Wales was one of the greatest movie accomplishments regarding the Civil War and its brutal aftermath...
