The Evolution of Clint Eastwood in Movies
If you can believe it, Clint Eastwood is over 80 years old but don’t tell him that. It sure as hell isn’t going to stuff the quintessential tough guy from directing and acting in films. The man has been in Hollywood since 1955 and something tells me he’s gonna move right on into the next decade.
In honor or Mr. Eastwood for no particular reason we’ve assembled a pleathora of pictures from starring roles in movies dating all the way back to the beginning.
Enjoy his evolution

Damn. Clint is a legend. Kelly’s Heroes and Escape From Alcatraz are still two of my favorite movies.
Nobody looks better w/ a cigar hangin out their mouth.
Gonna paint your wagon; gonna paint it fine; gonna use oil based paint; because the wood is pine. *all together now* ponderosa pine
Play Misty for Me is an extremely fucked up movie, and not a lot of people (I think) really know about it that well.
Nice list.
Best article on Unreality ever
One great strength of Eastwood is that he plays to his age, but comes off as the quintessential of that age. Like, no one else is at their peak quite like him.
“Forget em’ fellas… buzzards gotta eat, same as the worms.”
You forgot to list his 5 second role in The Return of the Creature From the Black Lagoon!
And the one constant over those years – fantastic hair.
Great list, great actor. I think the stern, dramatic roles he plays is good regardless of age.
