goose Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 QUOTE (Jack Aubrey @ Jun 11 2009, 06:53 AM) PPV'ed this one last night. Fantastic movie! My neighbor PPV'd and Tivo'd to watch with his ten-year-old son. I told him that it was a little harsh for a ten-year-old kid. He disagreed and was going to watch it with his son. I got home last night and his son was at my house, having left Gran Torino to watch a kid flick with my daughter. Seems the boy has better judgment than his father. Great movie for adults, though. Eastwood delivers another great performance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the barber shop scene with the kid... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUSHHEAD666 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Damn! Timing is everything!! What a great movie as you can see my thread down below. Clint is the best period. If this movie truly is his swan song then he laid down with class. Let's hope he doesn't retire though like that pussy Sean Connery. I can't believe he didn't do a few minutes in Indy's CRYSTAL SKULL. What a joke. I can only hope for one more DIRTY HARRY movie. Was that Dirty Harry in GRAN TORINO as an old man? Doubt it but it would be cool if Dirty Harry was also over in Korea. That would have been a nice connection. CLINT RULES!! Time for me to go to Carmel and have a few beers at his old pub called HOG'S BREATH. Love, Steve Hogarth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lerxt1990 Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Better latererer than never - just finished watching it, and I thought it was wonderful.

syrinxpriest 2112 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Just got around to watching this ass-kicker of a masterpiece. What a phenomenal movie. I loved it from the title card to the end credits. It just goes to show that badassery doesn't fade with age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ancient Ways Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 came out on the movie channels finally. wow, what a fantastic movie. the trailers for this flick did not do it justice. not at all what I expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weatherman2112 Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Yeah, I must agree with the positive comments. What a great movie. What a great job he did! I'm pretty sure I saw an interview with Clint saying he expects this to be his last on screen performance and would only do some directing. This was just after the movie was released. I guess we'll see but I sure hope not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earthshine Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 My favorite Clint Eastwood movie of all time. Full of little messages from Clint if you watch close enough. A wonderful movie and story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonatine Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Awesome film: The Man with No Name, can still pack a punch even for a guy in his late 70s Can't believe he'll be 80 this year, although its good that he is still producing/directing the odd film to keep him busy. After watching Gran Torino, I immediately got my "Dirty Harry" dvd out and watched that - friggin' fantastic film for its time.

Some Half-Forgotten Stranger Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Watched GT Friday night. Liked it, good movie. Although I'm sure a lot of people won't admit it and I would probably catch some heat if this thread wasn't so old, but I thought Clints racial slurs throughout the film were hilarious. SPOILER ALERT: I wasn't a fan of the ending though with the kid driving the car and Clint singing in his whispered voice....That was a little too much. But just that one little part...the rest was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForceTen Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Excellent movie. One I need to add to my collection. Actually, I want to get all of his movies. Think I have about 5 or so currently: Heartbreak Ridge The Unforgiven The Good, The Bad and, The Ugly Pale Rider Those are the ones I can think of right now... I need to setup a database of the 300+ movies we have. Difficult to keep track of them all. :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khan Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 It was OK...I mean it wasn't bad, but it wasn't drop dead fantastic or anything. Personally, I thought it was going to be better with more action than it had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
